Tight and hard to get on
These loom great when you get them on. However, it's like putting on a wetsuit and takes some work. They have good structure and are well made.

Excellent Compression Leggings for Running/Training
I ordered the black pair in size large, and these are great leggings. They're high waisted, extremely compressive, and have a nice "second skin" feel to them. Because they are so compressive, I would size up if you are on the higher end of the suggested size range. They fit slightly small, and it took me quite a while to get them all the way pulled up because I'm on the high side of the large range. The "butt lift" is contour paneling and you can feel it! Overall, a great pair of leggings for a more rigorous work out.

Too Little
These leggings are very small. I normally wear an XL but that was too little. Would love to try these again in a larger size.

Made To Last!
The material that these leggings are made of isn't the run-of-the-mill "buttery soft" stuff used in most leggings, but the sort of material that is found in stretchy athletic wear. It's durable and made to last. It won't make any fashion statements, but for running, yoga or a workout at the gym, these are ideal.My biggest problem is that I've got weird proportions. (You may have guessed, as the women's sizes/proportions fit me much better than the stuff from Kapow, etc.) Both I and a female colleague at work have long legs with 33" inseams. The current rage (or perhaps the most common?) inseam length is 28", and these are cut to 25", making them look more like Capris than full-length leggings. There really needs to be a "tall" option. But that's not the reason why there isn't five stars above. My weirdness isn't their fault.What bothers me is overblown claims, and a LOT of manufacturers are making them. I'm not female, so I'm not looking for "butt lifting" or any other "booty" treatment. If it covers my bum, then I'm good. But these seem to do... well... nothing. If I was a gal looking for a bit of lift, I'd be sorely disappointed. And as you can see (through the smudgy mirror - my apologies), any attempted "lifting" comes at the expense of some rippling/bagging behind the thighs and knees. If I was a bit more girthy, then that might not appear(?). Whatever is going on, though, while I love the fabric and construction, I can't say I'm a fan for overall fit OR any "lifting" claims.On a final positive note, the athletically inclined will definitely appreciate that these are totally "squat proof" - completely opaque - so that your underwear game will remain your own business. If you like light compression, and we older folks sometimes NEED it, these also fill the bill quite well.

They're a bit of a to do...
Sooo my first reaction to these leggings was "what the thin but sturdy paper-like kind of material is this??". It's like nothing I've ever felt before! It's incredibly thin but durable, not like the cheap kind that will have a hole after the first wash.Getting them on was a bit of a process though- whew! It was like putting on a less stretchy pair of tights, it really took some work. Once they were on, they felt good, like I was nice & tucked in & I think they actually do have some nice butt lifting ability. But they do feel kind of tight & not super breathable. I immediately thought of how pulling them up/down every time I had to run to the bathroom was going to be a hassle.I don't know if these just run kind of small or if they're supposed to fit sort of like that, in a way I'm not used to given how unique the fabric is. But at $75, I can't really say the juice is worth the squeeze. There is absolutely potential here, it just seems as though some improvements need to be made.

Could not get them past my thighs!
I wear Champion workout pants all the time and I was looking forward to trying these out since it stated that they lift your butt. These are made out of a very tight rubbing feeling material and they are so tight and feel very uncomfortable! I would not recommend. I wear a size 8 in jeans, 160lbs and my waist is about a 31 and I normally wear large in workout pants. If you want to try these, order at least two sizes up!!!

Sizing as expected, but a little less stretchy than other yoga brands
This legging looks nice, albeit a bit firmer and perhaps less stretchy than other well know yoga brands.The length is shorter than the typical yoga leggings, so it may reveal your ankle a bit more depending on your height. Overall I found the legging to be a solid choice. I think design-wise, they could add a bit more character, but I can see the appeal of the simple black design.

Run Small, Size Up!
I exercise at least 5 days a week and am always looking for workout clothes. The fit of these are extremely tight and not very comfortable. The fabric does stretch, but its a snug stretch, not loose or forgiving. The fabric also has a shiny finish, which I do not care for. They wash up well, but I find myself choosing other more comfortable work out pants, as these are not at all my favorites. If you do like a more structured work out pant, make sure and size up for comfort.
