The Transcend leggings are so silky-soft and lightweight they feel like you're wearing nothing…but better. You need these leggings. Lululemon Aligns have met their match!!! On first wear, I wasn't 100% sure about them. I wore them for a typical weekend day; errands, housework, walking the dog, loun...ging. They are exceptionally comfortable; they are also breathable, which is a huge point in their favor. The fit was good, but not perfect. As someone who carries weight in the belly (aka apple shape), I experienced some slipping in the thigh area with these leggings. I think that's my personal body shape rather than any issue with the Transcend tights themselves. They washed up very nicely! I wash all leggings inside-out in warm water and hang to dry, and followed that same process with the Transcend. No fading, stretching, shrinking, or pilling at all. I would not typically wear this type of legging to the gym; I much prefer very high-compression tech fabric for that use. However, the Transcend tights performed beautifully at CrossFit! No slipping or sliding, they didn't show any sweat, and seemed to dry relatively quickly. Athleta has added an outstanding product to their lineup with the Transcend legging! Everyone needs a naked-feel legging that works from the couch to the gym and everywhere you need to go in their collection. I'll be watching the app for new colors. Add some pockets, these will be absolute perfection.
