I was looking for something "different" but not too "look at me" for the gym. These seem to fit the bill. I bought one pair in tomatoe, and they appeared really small coming out of the package. I tried them on to test for fit and they seemed tight, initially. After a few minutes the compression feel moved with me and the seemed to work well at the gym.
The material is not the silky lycra, it's a rougher material, but still soft against skin.
Turn them inside out if you are not hand washing them, as the pattern is sewn on top of the base material and can wear in a washer machine.
Received some compliments on my new "threads" from some fellow gym rats. I got the leggings for a real steal and bought a second pair, so I guess that means I am pleased.
