The leggings/tights have the best, most comfortable waist band Ever, I love them. I have two pairs and bought my daughter two pairs. In cold weather they make a great pair of thermal underwear with pants over them. I can see that in all seasons they will be nice since the wool is thin and breathable. As for us American girls, they may not pass the "bend over" test, as we call it, you may "see" what I mean. Worth the price. They are never sweaty like the synthetic type. I would buy them again. Wash them before you wear them and you will love them! I buy the large because I do not like tight compression. 5'5" tall about 137-140 pounds. Now that I have worn them, this is an update from my first review. Just wear them and you'll love them.

These Tights are the best - I have six pairs. They keep me warm and dry in the winter, but I also wear them all through summer ( see below 34 degrees and very happy) I mean, how can millions of sheep be wrong? As far as comfort and fit they are true to size and the most comfortable pants I own.

I am a bit surprised at the 5 star reviews. They are so thin you can see through them. Way over priced for this. Fine under your pants or dress. I am 5'5" and weigh 140lbs. I ordered the large, but the thinness is unacceptable. I don't have much of a rear end, but because of the compression, the fit was correct. Need to return. For this price I would not expect them to be see through, unacceptable. Come on,these can't be worn outside. Other reviews are old. Made in Sri Lanka. Maybe they don't make them like they used to. Junk.

Very comfortable and warm for an icy morning run

Good quality

I have been searching for the perfect tights for a long time, I need non toxic with stretch and I even love the pockets! They’re warm enough for figure skating and I was worried about the front seam, but it isn’t an issue at all. I will be purchasing more.
The compression is perfect and I love the rainbow colours.

I love these leggins as they are natural and not polyester which is bad for skin. I am usually a small in leggins but with these am a medium which fits perfectly. They are very comfortable and perfect for my trekking around Japan in the cooler months. I have not washed them yet so hoping they will stay nice after a few washes.

At first I wasn't sure because they felt a little rough/scratchy but once on they are extremely comfortable to wear. Perfect for long distance walks, in all weather conditions. I do find they are a little transparent to show underwear if doing squats.etc. but for walking they are ideal. True to size. Great quality.

I've worn my leggings to pilates, I found them to be really comfortable and so much cooler than the plastic leggings I've been wearing.
I was actually shocked that I didn't overheat as they are my first pair. love them and definitely recommend them.

At first wasn't sure about the tights but I wanted to try anyway and that was a super winner. It is definitely a piece that I own with proud as I am sure while I seat no nasties are getting into my pores.
I am amazed ate the quality, the fit and the feel of it. Good job guys for think of it, you really deserve my admiration and I will be looking forward to change most of my old synthetic thighs to IO Merino.
Thank you so much

Compression and comfort- live them!

Perfect
Light smooth soft comfortable. Love them

Awesome leggings. Super soft. Feel like the second skin.

Love love love my new compression leggings! They are toasty warm for sitting around after a long hike and for sleeping in. And they don’t look daggy like a lot of thermals! Love that there are pockets as I can slip my phone, glasses etc in them whilst sitting around. I’m not a fan of super tight compression; these are firm with just enough compression for me to feel comfortable whilst sleeping. Love my Outsider edition; they are funky!

These are so comfortable and cozy i don't want to take them off. It's everything i love about the compression leggings, PLUS POCKETS. and i'll be able to wear them days and days with no stink because it's merino. It's turning winter here, and i will wear them a TON, but I wore my other iO compression all summer too. They're brilliant.

I'm in the USA so. 5'9.5"/173.5cm, 200lb/91K, US size 14-16ish (18-20 AU?) inseam about 28-30"/71-76cm , (but no size ever fits quite right hips-to-waist) and I wear the XL size. by day 3 or so, or if i've been sitting a lot, they get a bit stretched and slip down more, but bounce right back after washing...

THE POCKETS ARE EVERYTHING! i put my phone, keys, and bit of cash & a card in there and then don't need a purse. I put snacks in there. They are VITAL TO SURVIVAL and i love them!

the outside print (i got the flowers one) is pretty too. Even my 12 year old nephew told me 'i like your pants!' when we were sitting to do his homeschool lessons.
