I was patiently waiting for these to come back after having 2 pairs and they are not the same. I am so sad. The original style was very flare and fit great for those with larger calves. now they are tight at the calves. A total miss. I had to return 2 pairs. I have never been so sad about a legging as I loved the first rendition. The material is thinner too. It's just overall not the same.

I have multiple pairs of the ORIGINAL Elation ultra rise flare pants. I wanted to buy a few new pairs, but this version is not the same. The fabric is thinner and the flare begins lower on the leg. Please consider bringing back the same fabric and the same cut as the original.

Ugh. I used to love these flare pants. I had multiple colors (3 black) and was coming back to freshen them up since I've had them so long. I was so sad to find that the material is not nearly as good and the cut is way off. The flare seems to start at the calf area and not the knee that it was in previous versions. Please bring back the old version!

Athleta, I'm begging you to restock!! These are my favorite flare leggings and I need to buy more!

...but never in stock and always fearing they will never return

I love the elation flare and have been buying this product for years. This year the quality is different. The fabric feels thin and cheap. Please continue to make this style/product and consider going back to the same level of quality as previous years. You may end up sending customers somewhere else for this style.

Bring this back in the S tall in Truffle... it's totally sold out!

The quality of the elation flare is not the same as previous years. The fabric is thinner with less stretch. Not worth the money - even on sale.

I have about 4 pairs of the old elation flares. They were INCREDIBLE. Amazing quality and the fit was incomparable to other brands. However, they recently changed everything about them. They now have a cheap, thin fabric. AND now the bottom is "mini flare" (even stated ont he tag) so they're much much tighter in the calf than the original style. I honestly returned a pair and rebought it because I thought my first order delivery was a mistake since it said "mini flare" and that they fit TOTALLY different. Sadly, I now realize they've gone away with the original I don't understand why they couldn't keep the old version and just add this mini flare on as a new style. The older elation was WAY better.
