Amazon EssentialsWomen's Performance Mid-Rise Capri Active Legging
C**C
Comfortable, sturdy, and doesn't show sweat during high intensity workouts...
5'4, 123 lbs 27 waist, 36 hips, average to slightly slim/athletic build- I like to size down in leggings, especially since I'm in the process of losing weight. These were snug, but in a tolerable way, and again, I intentionally sized down because of personal preference. (I do need to be careful pulling them over the widest part of my hips when putting them on to not overstretch/rip any seams, but I feel that's the case with most tight bottoms.) They fit just as I desired, and are pretty comfortable. I sweat A LOT, so I was worried about being able to see obvious perspiration, but it wasn't really noticeable at all. The material is also if a more synthetic/active texture/knit, which makes it seem more equipped for moisture wicking. Other cotton blend or jersey knit like materials tend to leave a 'sweat shadow' on my backside that looks like I sat on something wet. Again, I sized down, so I was worried about the material being stretched so thin that panty lines would be an issue, or that my pale cheeks would show through as I usually wear like a dark or skin colored sporty seamless thong under leggings. The leggings appear pretty opaque, even when looking at my behind in a squatting position. I was nervous about the seam running down the front to the crotch, as sometimes leggings sewn that way can give off an exentuated 'camel toe' appearance, which can happen even though I'm not exactly 'meaty' down there. I ordered three pairs, black, burgundy, and dark olive, all of which I would say are accurate in name. All three are not completely matte, but I also wouldn't describe them as shiny or shimmery, falling somewhere in between. The dark olive is exactly that, dark with a very slight Olive hue that more tired eyes might see as a slightly faded black or dark grey. Wearing a black shirt with them brings out it's more olive tone. They all come up to the waist belly button area, and end mid calf. As with most leggings sewn this way, the seams do leave very light marks/indents in my skin (waist an legs), but nothing that lasts very long. I've washed them a couple times and thrown them in the dryer and they seem to hold up just fine. I haven't had any issues yet with the knit-like material snagging or having any pulls. I wear these for running and exercise that involves a lot of high kicks, squats, and grappling, and feel unencumbered in my range of motion. I think most people with my build and stature may prefer a size Small, again I'm just kinda weird and personally like my leggings to be very tight, and am I the process of losing weight. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase, quality, and price.

Super comfy!
I LOVE these capris! They fit extremely comfortably, with enough “give” to hug the body. The fabric feels luxuriously soft and smooth yet feels sturdy enough to wear all day! The colors are a nice neutral blue-ish gray-ish camouflage. I highly recommend these!!! Great great value!!

Good for the Price
I'll preface this review by stating that I'm a regular gym-goer, not just for aerobic exercises like running, HIIT and Plyo but for weightlifting as well. This means that I need pants with absolute full-range of motion with no restrictions, no shifting, and no sheerness. Normally I have a collection of my favorite higher-end, tried-and-true workout pants at my disposal, but due to quarantine I've been away for two months and needed something to workout in at my current location.Now, for my review. I'd like to point out some of the things I wasn't overly thrilled with before providing my final overall review, so bear with me:First off, I noticed immediately after opening that the fabric, while not overly thin, was thinner than I had hoped. A try-on test confirmed my fears: the fabric was ever so slightly sheer around my bottom. I will follow this up with, yes, I did order the correct size, and the pants fit just fine with no overstretching. Perhaps with nude or sheer panties the issue would resolve itself, but I have none at my disposal to test with. Regardless, the sheerness wasn't blaringly obvious, but I wouldn't do squats in these.Secondly, the fabric itself wasn't very soft, and actually itched slightly the first time I wore and sweat in them. I chalked this up to maybe first-time-wear and was sure to add extra fabric softener the next time I washed them. They didn't itch the second time, but they still have this coarse feeling when I run my hands over them. Definitely not comparable to Gymshark or my Victoria's Secret leggings, but at around a third of the price, I can agree that's to be expected. I also don't dry my workout pants as a rule, so drying them may make them softer, at the expense of reducing their wearable life.Thirdly, after three washes I noticed some of the stitching, while done fairly cleanly, had started to pull. I snipped the threads and plan on keeping an eye on the seam, but this is a minor issue in my book so long as it doesn't get any worse. Also note these are NOT compression pants, so if you expect them to give you a tummy tuck or make your butt look good, look elsewhere. I think the comfort of the pants does redeem them a bit, but my other workout pants look much more flattering in the mirror.Now, for the overall review:These don't hold a candle to a pair of $50-$100 leggings, and they're not meant to. For a budget workout pant under $20, Amazon actually did a very good job with this product. The color choices are nice, and the fabric has a good stretch to it. While slightly sheer, the fabric and stitching does allow for full range of motion, so I don't feel overly restricted with my movements. They're also light enough that sweat really isn't a problem, and when I did sweat, I hardly noticed it. It's too early to say whether or not the elastic will wear out rapidly, but they feel somewhat like Walmart or Target-brand workout gear, and I haven't had good luck with those lasting very long. I'd say these pants are great for lounging around the house, going for a walk outside, or perhaps a very light workout routine, but I would get something a little heavier and more durable if you're a heavy gym-goer like myself.

Muy bonitos
Los uso muy agudo. Son de tela agradable al tacto. Un poco brillosos pero no tanto. Colores tan cual la foto. No se transparentan solo que me mandaron una talla diferente te a la que pedí. Me quedan grandes pero aún así me los quedé.

Great fit and quality!
I LOVE these leggings!! Great fit!! Awesome price!! I bought them in olive AND camo!! Check out my other Amazon Fashion reviews on Instagram @bevyonabudgetNote on sizing: these fit TTS but I sized up to XL because I like leggings to fit looser. If you're like me, then size up. Otherwise, buy your true size!!
