Great Winter Tight Or Base Layer.

I wear the Essent Warm High Rise Tights in the winter as a standalone tight for mild days or layer them underneath jeans/ other pants on colder days as a base layer. The fit is flattering and pockets are great when worn alone, as is the high waist and drawcord. I like these tights when worn underneath other pants as their smooth texture allows pants to glide over them, creating a comfortable layering system. I find the tights too warm to wear while exercising indoors but perfect for cold hikes and runs. I have very short legs and typically have a 5cm roll at the cuff when wearing these tights. I am 5'4 and 132lbs with athletic thighs and a 26 waist, and I find that a size 4 fits me well.

No Stretch

The description "excellent stretch" is quite misleading... these barely have any stretch. It is almost an extreme sport to get them on! That said, once they are on, they stay put, but I have to inch my way into them since there isn't a stretch. I am a typical size 8 (american sizing); I ordered a 10, since Arc'Teryx typically runs "small" for me. I just barely fit into the 10, but have managed to make them work.

Disappointed As Well; So Small

I have an athletic build at 5’2” and normally wear a size 4 in Essent leggings. For these, there’s no way a 4 will work. I’ll need to size up to a 6 at least, if that will work. Think “sausage casing look” and “circulation interrupted.” Sizing is way off on the pair I received, and frankly, they just seem like fleece turned inside out that isn’t that stretchy. Love the stratus color but not thrilled with these leggings. They’re going back.

Very Soft And Comfy

I like the fabric, soft and warm and the pockets at the side. I don't like how the seams press on the skin and "cut" the look of the leg.They should compact the whole leg. I'm not overweight and it is not a problem of flesh. Difficult to explain, need to try

Comfortable For Everyday And Workouts

Very comfortable with just the right amount of compression. I purchased the Essent high rise 28" in a size smaller than I usually wear and the fit was great. They have held their shape well and when the cold weather version goes on sale, I will purchase them as well.
