[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a runner, mainly running half-marathon distances, so always on the hunt for great running tights that tick all the boxes, and these leggings really are fantastic!
When I first tried them on I thought they were going to be too tight, but actually they're just the perfect compression fit to hold all the 'jiggly bits', without being uncomfortable. In fact, they're incredibly comfortable, offering great stretch and range of movement. I've been wearing them for running, gym sessions and yoga.
They're full length, and fit my leg length perfectly. Im 5' 3", so if you're taller they would be shorter, although they're quite stretchy in all directions.
They're quite a thin material, unlike other leggings that can get too warm. They also have breathable mesh panels on the backs of the knees, so they feel very light and airy. I've been wearing them for morning training runs in 16-18 Celsius and they've been perfect.
As far as I can tell, the material also doesn't go see-through when stretched, and it maintains a really lovely soft feel - it's not rough or overly shiny, which I think makes them really flattering.
Probably the best feature has to be the pockets. Oh the pockets!!! These leggings are incredible. They have a large zippered pocket on the centre back waistband, which easily fits my phone (Samsung S20 5G). There's also a handy thigh pocket on the left leg which also fits my phone, but I find it really handy to store a couple of gels on longer runs. If that's not enough, there's also a small key pocket inside the front of the waistband, which is ideal for house keys or I use it for my gym access fob.
The final feature in leggings that I always look out for is a drawstring waist, which these leggings also have! You don't have to use it, but I find it gives a bit of extra security, so they don't fall down at all whilst running.
The only thing I would really change on these leggings is I would ideally like the waist a little higher. Not that these are low waisted at all, but I'm a mum with a bit of a mum tum, and a high waist just gives me a little bit more confidence.
These leggings are definitely going into my A-list collection, especially for long Spring/Autumn runs, when I want the coverage of full length without overheating.
