Love these. [/quote]

OP. I swung by Athleta today to try these on. I liked them, but wowza the sizing is all kinds of crazy. I am 30" waist, 45" hips, size 12-16ish, and bounce between L and XL in leggings. The dressing room attendant had me size down to a M in the ultra high rise Elation tight to smooth out the fabric bunching around my crotch. They passed the squat test in the dim dressing room lighting, so I bought them. I'm concerned they might stretch too thin and end up see-through in natural light. I'm also concerned about the fabric -- it's way too soft and cozy to be anything other than a magnet for snags and pilling. We'll see. [/quote]

Reading the reviews, the consensus seems to be that they immediately pill and get small holes (and/or seams unravel quickly), but comfort outweighs that "minor" flaw and they're still good for home workouts. I think we've become brainwashed into thinking that it's normal for $100 athletic leggings to have the same fragility as drugstore pantyhose. [/quote]
