These are the BEST leggings ever!! Please make MORE winter colors. The material, fit, and compression are PERFECT! I did just get them so I ca n't speak for anything else yet, but assuming they are the normal Calia quality, I do not expect to be disappointed. I have been buying her leggings for a very long time. I do not care for the 7/8 leggings because they do not flatter the leg( shorten the leg). But these high- rise full- length leggings are STUNNING!! She is the BEST for sure

5 Jkliety

I had an old pair of cold gear leggings from under armour gifted to me by a friend around 2010. I 've been looking for a new pair to add to my rotation and these did not disappoint. Super comfy. I typically wear a size 4- 6 in pants and went with a medium. Not too compressive but fit great at the waist( 27 '').

5 Alicat7620
These are just as nice as the Day Leggings and feel very similar. The material is slightly heavier; maybe not quite as soft as the Day Leggings, but still extremely comfortable. I feel there is a slight increase in support or compression, but they are definitely not high compression leggings. It is going to be a toss up on which ones I like better. Free Fly leggings are THE BEST! You can not go wrong purchasing this new style or the Day Leggings.

5 Tanya G.
Absolutely the best legging I ’ ve ever had. 5 ’ 3 ’, 149 lbs, purchased size large. Great fit!

[ When I pulled these tights out the mail I thought ‘ now when the heck am I going to wear these tights in hot behind JUNE? ’ Thankfully laundry day forced me to put these on in 65 degree weather and these were surprisingly perfect temperature. I can ’ t quite explain it, but despite being hot out, these leggings made my legs feel…cool. In addition to the temperature regulation, Nike comes through again with fit and feel. These are smooth as butter and stretchy yet thick. Can ’ t wait to try these out in cold weather.

5 Drea
[ I ’ m 5 ’ 8 180 lbs and this is my very first pair of Nike One TF HR. I love the black sleek look and the way it hugs my body in the right way. They aren ’ t baggy, loose or uncomfortable which is major to me. I have had a lot of workout like pants that would come down, be very loose in the front area and just wouldn ’ t be comfortable. They do seem to stretch quite a bit. When it comes to washing I let them hang dry to avoid shrinkage and lent. I have worn them jogging, doing yoga, and on play dates with my children and haven ’ t had any issues. These Nike pants can be worn in many different ways which is why I love them the most. I would recommend to anybody that has had issues finding reliable workout/ casual clothing.

5 Chuli
[ These tights are top notch. The feel of the fabric on the inside and outside is so soft. I am shorter so the length is perfect for me. They are surprisingly thick and I know in the winter the insulation is going to be perfect. These tights are very stretchy and durable during a workout. And it is a plus that they are not see through when bending over!

5 AC
[ These leggings have a really top notch features; the fit is not tight or loose, the waist pocket has the potential to be useful, and the simple design is easy for anyone to enjoy casually or in a more interesting outfit. The length fit for my frame was more of a full length than a 7/8th, but that isn ’ t really a bad thing in my opinion. The only thing I felt was useful to mention is the high waisted part feels a lil snug, but other than that there ’s no going wrong!

5 Tam
[ These tights are everything! The only thing I didn ’ t like was that they don ’ t have pockets. I ’ m a pocket girl so that was the only thing I was missing. They feel amazing! They are super soft, comfy and feels just right! Definitely need these in different colors.

so happy with these base layers!!! what i love most is the quality, sustainable materials. they are breathable and do n't make me sweat, but keep me warm. they stay put and i do n't have to adjust at all. the contrast stitching is super cute too.

5 brynnsadventures
[ If you have a small waist but thick thighs or bum, definitely size up. I usually wear I size 4- 6 in most leggings but find in merino layers I have to size up because it's tight around my quads, these are similar. I received a size medium, which fit snuggly, but if I was going to order them again I would size up to a large. The quality of these leggings is amazing! So cozy and comfy!

Went hiking in the Lake District and discovered my abisko tights were too large. Fortunately, I found a Fjallraven vendor and found these tights, which turned out perfect as I need a bit more insulation. I love the feel of these. They kept me warm on some pretty brutal days. They dry quickly. I am absolutely in love with Fjallraven tights, and these are a new favorite.

5 FjällFox
I think Fjällräven really succeeded it balancing the comfortability of tights with the durability required for trekking in forests. These are a perfect combination of the two- flattering and well fitting tights that hold up to the scuffing and scratching that comes with trekking through a natural environment. They still look brand new after several washes and many many treks. The added warmth is such a nice bonus!

5 Shellbell
[ These are great outdoor/hiking leggings! They are warm and seem durable so far. I live on the Northern California coast where it ’s cold most of the year. These leggings are perfect for exploring in! Love them:)

4 WWECO
[ Love the way these pants fit! I always love the look of Fjallraven pants, but these aren ’ t as warm as I hoped. I ’ ve used them in lower temps( 20- 30 ’s F) and my legs are cold to the touch. I definitely have less expensive rights that keep my legs warmer.

5 ToneTheVizionary
I 'm a larger guy, 5'11- 275- 280 depending on the meal. I always wondered why the workout bros would wear these so I finally asked someone. At first I 'll admit they looked like male stockings, but once I got a pair and felt the comfort, I became a believer and immediately purchased two more pair. I will wear these under my work clothes and when working out. they are perfect for walking/running in the winter.

5 Zo10
I used them for skiing and snowmobile rides as a base layer and they keep you very warm. The fit is great and top quality. I 'd definitely buy them again and actually just did.

[ These are great and probably my favorite pair of base layer bottoms. They are cozy, not too tight and breathe nicely. I ’ d like to buy another pair but my size is out of stock.

5 Ralph
[ I am an avid walker and must have my daily jaunt or I will go bonkers. I have hiked in all weather from the cold sub temps of Minnesota to the rainy and windy winters of Texas. Having warm thermals are essential. Searching online reviews, Smartwool keeps popping up. My wife and I bought two sets each of tops and bottoms and she just simply loved them instantly When ever the temp dips she gleefully pulls on her Smartwool NTS and a shell and she is out the doors. The material is just the right thickness and the seams are well hidden. It instant warms the body and as claimed, do not smell after a few uses As for durability we have to wait and see. We have other woolen garments and we can see these products appear to be durable. No regrets buying them but regrettably the color choices are limited due to stocks available.
