I really love these leggings. They fit well, are breathable, and don't become loose during/after working out. The panels on the side provide extra air flow to keep you cool during activity. They are extra-high waisted with a wide waistband, providing security and a bit of smoothing. They do not, however, have any pockets or places for phone/keys/etc. I am 5'4" and these pants hit a couple inches above my ankle, so they may be more cropped on taller people.
