These leggings are wonderful. They fit great (5'6" and well... a big girl) but the weird chemical smell that hits you out of the package doesn't go away so easy.  I've washed 'em 3 times... still stinky. I can't smell it when I wear them, which I think is simply because I get used to it! Overall they seem to be well made, and have held up to my less than perfect fingernails which is a bonus. :)
