BEST. LEGGINGS. EVER.

I'm 5'6" and somewhere between 125-130 lbs with a long torso. I always have a hard time finding high rise leggings that actually cover my belly button sufficiently, but these do!!! They're also squat proof (for anyone else who lifts), and the waistband truly stays in place all workout - I didn't hav...

Pulling after one use!

I want to love these tights so much. They are breathable and so soft. However, after only one use the tights have started pilling something fierce. I bought two pairs and figured it was maybe just a fluke. Nope, in almost the same spot (left outer thigh) it's started on the other pair! I'm so bummed...

Please bring back the old Elations!

I've been wearing the Elation leggings for years, and they have always been my favorite. I've needed to order more to replace my old ones over the last few months, and I'm so disappointed with the changes. The sizing seems to have gotten smaller, I can barely squeeze into my regular XS now. The fabric is also MUCH thinner, I was embarrassed at a barre class last week when I realized that when I squat the leggings were completely see-through! I always loved my old Elations because they were never see-through. Please bring back the old fit and fabric!

Like other reviews have said, these changed recently and not for the better. Even my teenage daughter noticed. They used to be so soft and buttery and now have more of a slick feeling. Way tighter as well. Returning and now hunting for a new legging.

For a few years these have been my favorite leggings. I purchased a couple more during holidays 2025. They must have changed where they'regetting their material/fabric from. These don't feel or fit the same. Sizing is different and they smell after they've been washed. I won't be purchasing these anymore.

Love them

I've been wearing the elation leggings nonstop since I discovered them in 2019. I buy new pairs consistently since I am a fitness instructor and live in workout clothes. Just received my new pair of black elation leggings and the fabric is completely different. It feels scratchy and is shiny… the seams popped when I put these leggings on too which never happens… it's clear there has been a huge change in fabric. What happened? Your sourcing and quality control teams should be notified because this is not what customers want judging by all the other bad reviews saying essentially the same thing as me.

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise Legging

Great fit & quality

Fabric change is not an improvement

I have bought many pairs of elation leggings over the years and replace them as they become too worn to wear outside of the house. The last few pairs I've purchased have not had the same comfortable fit, buttery soft fabric, or length I've come to expect. I thought I would get over it. After a day long drive home from vacation, I immediately changed into my older elations and it was night and day. I understand that everything is cheaper to produce these days, but when everything is always on sale, I'm having a hard time understanding what is happening at Athleta. Whatever the situation is, guys, don't let your quality suffer for it.

I love these leggings. They are so soft, and are excellent for yoga and barre classes. They don't ride down, either. I'm ordering the straight leg version today.

My favorite go to…

I have had elations forever and no legging fits like these do. Although the material and cut shifts ever so slightly here and there it's never wrong.
