Excellent performance and comfort

Just got back from a rainy jog in 40F weather and these leggings performed beautifully. They really move with you, so there doesn't seem to be any even minor restriction whether you're taking stairs two at a time or leaning into a triangle or pigeon pose. The fabric is thin and slippery, so it settl...es easily into the tight spaces, like the upper thigh, and really prevents chafing. While jogging I was aware of how incredibly comfortable these leggings made my legs feel! There is a nice luster to the finish and rain seems to evaporate well, eventually. There will be sweat marks in the crotch and behind, but this seems to be a thing to get used to unless I always want to wear black, which - the colors available are too delicious! Besides, again: it'll evaporate eventually. I'll be curious to see how the fabric does with biking, whether the rubbing against the saddle will ruin the inside thighs. They do snag easily, which I don't mind, and the fabric is thin, which I like for colder weather workouts, but be aware of this, if you do not like to feel cold when you first head out. And thank you for the back zippered pocket! Perfect for key and card, glad to have a place to stash the small stuff.

Shows Sweat - very embarrassing

I wanted to love but do not. I bought because they are supposed to be for high intense, cardio activities. I wore them for the first time yesterday at a gym and did a workout in them. Of course I got sweaty but the worst part was that it showed all the sweat, so I started to get the dreaded V line o...n my front where my underwear (v-string) was. This was only 15 minutes in to my workout. Then it just got worse and spread and then showed on my back side with that nice little line where the thong was. At the end of the workout, even splotches of sweat showed on my knees and elsewhere. Thank god no one else was in the gym at that time. I had two sweatshirts with me and wore one out and tied the other around my waist because I was so embarrassed I didn't want anyone to see as I walked to my car. I am giving one star because they did stay up, but only after I tied the string really tight. I might try them in black and hopefully sweat won't show as I did like the feel. I disagree that they aren't too thin. They are thin enough you can see exactly what kind of underwear you are wearing, if it is lace you can see that, if it isn't you'll still see the lines. I don't like that either. Perhaps they didn't test the breathability on this fabric. Very disappointed. I will be returning once I get them washed!

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 7/8 Legging

Good compression, they stay up when running and cover the bumps. The only negative to me is they are kind of hot. The fabric is like a thin scuba suit. I really wanted running leggings that don't fall on legs or waste when running and these don't so they're perfect. I'm 6' and 173 lbs.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 7/8 Legging

Love how lightweight these pacesetter leggings are! Great for running & workouts. I have them in several colors. Only gave 4 stars because the navy I'm reviewing have a tighter waistband & more difficult to get up than my others in the same XS size. For reference, I'm 5'4 118lbs

I bought these as a gift for my runner sister. She loves them and reports that stay in place, are comfortable, and very breathable. She's thrilled!

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 7/8 Legging

This legging fits great and seems like it won't slide down like the last 2 Athleta pairs I bought. Unfortunately, I hate that it doesn't have any side pockets. The back pocket does not work for me. I walk a couple of miles everyday and need somewhere to put my keys. My key fob is quite big and I don't want the digging into my back while I walk. Hence the 3 stars.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 7/8 Legging

I have the Interval Legging in a size small and they fit great, especially if you're looking for a higher compression legging. But the small in the Pacesetter ran just a little too small for me so I sized up to a medium and they work well. I feel like I am a bit in-between sizes and wish the medium was a little bit tighter for running, but they work well for other high intensity workouts.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 7/8 Legging

These are my go-to running leggings. I love them. I always think they're going to be too small to get on but they get on, fit perfectly, and stay in place. I wear them for shorter, quick runs as well as longer runs (5+ miles) and they don't roll or slip down. They're my favorites for running when it's cooler and I have them in several colors.
