Even though they are long for me, since I'm somewhat short, the crotch doesn't sag! Super comfy. The only funny things I noticed is they sometimes pick up lint and that they're warm in the sun, but cool in the shade, which is when you need them to be warm. Sturdy and a great fit. They even are still going strong after a dog bit me on the bum and it got a hole in it. Love these tights. Even though they are long for me, since I’m somewhat short, the crotch doesn’t sag!

I had been wondering what was up with the EG's lately. They had always been touted as being such high quality, but I was getting holes in them way too often. I haven't tried the FT's yet, but I am thinking about it. I love the comfort of the EG's, but I think that I will wait to buy new ones until the quality issue has been resolved. Thanks for the updates! Hmm.. I had been wondering what was up with the EG’s lately. They had always been touted as being such high quality, but I was getting holes in them way too often.

They're soft, light (though opaque) and elastic. I will probably try the tights at some stage too. The way the stretchiness in them has been incorporated, it's been done just right. The leggings stretch to fit your shape, don't feel strained doing so, and they actually stay in place . The one seam in them looks really durable too. I also found the waistband very comfortable. For reference, I'm 5'4", about 135-140 pounds. I think (though I don't know for sure because sizing in my country is different to the US) that I'm about a size 6. I have no problems with these leggins at all. I own the Hot Sox leggings in size BC, and while they're warm and all, even at my size both pairs have holes at the seams, and the dreaded crotch sag. The foot Traffic leggings are more accommodating. I just received the Foot Traffic leggings. They’re soft, light (though opaque) and elastic. I will probably try the tights at some stage too.

So, burgundy pictures by the end of the weekend for sure, but I assure you it is a gorgeous deep burgundy, not too brown, not too orange... Okay, no pictures of the burgundy today afterall…
