I am forever buying leggings and shorts like these for my three sporty daughters. I picked these up as my daughter needed more for gymnastics / karate. They fit her extremely well and have been through the wash twice and seem to hold up to washing very well. They are thick (ie when she bends over they aren't sheer). They do have an inch wide elastic band that runs around the waist, which I personally don't like in my own yoga bottoms, but my daughter likes it...so it just depends on your preference. For me, she's happy, they fit perfectly and wash well...so that's a thumbs up from me.
