“Embracing my curves with a chest measuring 46 inches, broad shoulders, a 45-inch waist with long torso, 31.5-32.5 inch thighs, 18.5 inch calves, and generous 52-inch hips, I stand tall at 5'10" and weigh between 280-290lbs. My love affair with the Women's Active Tall Leggings with Pockets is real, though not without a minor hiccup. During my workout, I found myself repeatedly stopping to hike up the pants, as they tended to roll down off my belly and slide down my hips. They did not slide off my thighs! As anyone who has had a "workout" pant slide off the thigh area, can attest to how annoying that is and uncomfortable. These pants had a nice compression fit.
After enduring two consecutive workout classes, the fabric dared to make that dreaded whooshing noise, catching between my thighs and causing that annoying fabric chafe—I despise that sensation. Despite this, the leggings held up well and maintained their beautiful appearance, thanks to their solid fabric. Opting for the XL XT size was a wise choice, as it perfectly hit my ankle.
As I continue my weight loss journey, I am thrilled with the anticipation that these leggings will become absolute fire. A tight pant that I adore, though I'd advise against wearing them for an entire day or during intense jumping activities if you share my proportions. I'm very excited for the future with these leggings!
I bought the XT length based on other reviews. This was wise advice as they just hit my ankles. I bought the Cobalt and Olive leggings. I wore the Cobalt for the first time today through two hours at the gym (TRX and Zumba). The thigh fabric rub did not occur until I came home and was about to get into the shower (maybe from all the sweating? I sweat a lot) *shrug*. There was no color bleed or color transfer onto my body from these (A++).
Good pants. I prefer the lounge joggers for my workout until I drop some more weight.”
