Won me over at Hello

When you trust and try these tights, you’ll immediately experience why they are “essential”. No S$&T. 😅 When Kara Goucher said “these are truly the best tights and I can’t get enough of them”, I wish I could have captured it on video. They are buttery soft, wicking, fast drying, move with you, and don’t make you feel like you can’t breathe while holding you in. The next best thing since Bird Hug but better. I only wish there was one side pocket but the waist one is sufficient.

Soft but not for running

These leggings so smooth and soft! They are like a second skin. There no cutting into the waist either. But I found on my run that they kept sliding down and I had to keep stopping and adjusting. 5/5 for comfort but do not recommend for high impact activities like running.

For me they are a big win!

Reading some other reviews I was afraid these tights weren't going to be compressive enough. I typically run 70 miles a week and durability is a top concern. However, these tights are absolutely my new favorites! They are compressive but incredibly soft and comfortable. They don't slide down in even my hardest workouts. Bonus is that they are so comfortable and simple I can where them out and about when I'm not running as well. Now approaching 20 weeks pregnant these are THE BEST. The waistband has effortlessly handled my new bump... still no sliding down.

Terrible placement

I think this may be my first "unhappy" review with Oiselle and it pains me to write it but for the cost of these tights, I am frustrated. Like a lot of other reviews, these have very little compression at all but I was okay with that. The frustrating part is the placement of the price tag with the little plastic "string" that you normally just cut off. The end of the plastic piece was sewn into the seam and it is impossible to get to it. Wearing it you constantly feel the jab of a little plastic piece in my hip. I am going to get some tweezers to try and dig it out but I do fear ruining the seam/fabric. Just disappointing.
