athletic pants - reviews
great for travel
I admit it - I bought these ... no intention of ever doing anything remotely athletic in them; we were about to take a very long trip and I wanted something that would look good and feel comfortable the entire time we were traveling. After looking at lots of yoga ... online, I picked these because a) the fabric - I was impressed by photos of upside down women with their ... staying exactly where their ... were supposed to stay b) the reviews saying that the waistline actually sat at your waistline c) the price. I'm 5'81/2", about 165 lbs and ordered a large. The 32" length turned out to be longer than even my long legs (not too long to wear but too long for me to run in, for example); otherwise they fit perfectly. They stayed in place, they didn't lose their cling, the waistband didn't roll and I was in them for many long hours so there was plenty of time for them to disappoint me. I would not hesitate to order these ... again, I love them
Super comfy and nice fit!
I was worried about picking a size because people always write contrasting reviews. BUT I stuck with what's normal to me and I am in between a size Small and a size Medium. I have an athletic figure, but I DO have HIPS! They are not extremely wide, but I do have them. So the Medium was perfect around the hips/waist. I was also worried from the reviews that I would need to get the long, but I am about 5'8" and the regular size ones cut off perfectly, not too short and not too long that they will catch anything. I haven't weighed myself recently but I'm around 135 pounds if that helps :)
Too much flare
I'm 4'11", 125#, athletic build, curvy through hips and thighs. These ... accentuated my thighs by hugging my knees and flaring at the feet. I prefer a staighter leg--like the Kickbooty Pant--all time fave.
Love these ...
Love how these ... fit. I have an athletic build and was concerned that a size Small would be too tight, but the fit was just right. Definitely plan to purchase a couple more pairs.
Hmm, quality seems to be different
I have bought 6 pairs of the Chaturanga ... three different colors since discovering them a few years back and they've been wonderful for working out, doing yoga and just living in everyday! I particularly liked the original Chaturanga black ... material that were shiny on the outside and of heavy quality, they were nice to wear everywhere, to work and to the gym. They had a dressy feel to them, unfortunately this material has been discontinued according to the company for some time now. Recently I bought two more pairs of the Chaturange style and have to say that the quality is different. The material is thinner and now seems to pill, which is something my other chaturanga ... didn't do. I also noticed the stitch seam on the outside seems to fray easily now on the new ... Overall the quality seems to have gone down, this is a shame because these are a great style of ... am 5' 6'' and weigh 155lbs and wear a medium. I have an athletic build (narrow hips) and they fit perfectly, the length comes almost to the bottom of my sneaker. For the price I hope they'll improve upon the quality.
Love the ... hate the fabric
At first glance these are perfect- lightweight for the gym, and flattering on the booty. Even with bikini briefs I couldn't see a panty line while standing up (in the black ... rise is a touch high, but good for staying in place during yoga/ fitness classes. These were really comforable. I am 30 years old, 5'9", 170 lbs, athletic, and pear shaped and the medium fits perfectly. The length was great too. However, I am glad I tried to do a few moves in these in front of the mirror. Just bending down to touch my toes pulled the material so much that you could see the design on my underwear clearly through the fabric. Even with solid dark bottoms, you could easily see the underwear the second I bent over or did downward dog. These went back beause I already have a pair of black bootcut workout ... Zella that I love, and I didn't want a second pair that could only be worn sans undies.
