If you're a bigger or curvier woman i.e. large bottom, love handles, the fit is going to be a little troublesome for you. These fit fine for most of my legs and my waist but are tight on my bottom and thighs. And they are ridiculously LONG! I have to go to a Nordstrom to get them altered. The fabric though is thick - these certainly pass the squat test.

When I put these leggings on, I feel like I am a super hero suiting up. These leggings are no joke. They just work. They are nice material and thick enough to not be see through. My best friend got me a pair for my birthday and I had to buy myself a second pair incase of an emergency. I put the second pair in my fireproof safe.
This is my second pair and I mainly wear them to run in. They're super comfy and breathable. They don't hold sweat or that stinky gym smell, like most clothes you wear over and over to the gym! I feel like these are just as good as any high end active wear leggings but with a way more affordable price.
I absolutely love these leggings! I have been on a mission to find leggings that are opaque, durable, and of course have a nice fit...and these are definitely a holy grail! Not only are they super soft, but they are not see-through AT ALL. They lift and shape your bum, and smooth everything out...no lumps or bumps to be seen in these :) As a bonus, they are reversible, so they can be worn several times while still looking freshly washed. They also have a little key/credit card pocket, which is great for runs/etc. The quality is amazing, and they can be worn with sweaters and boots for a more dressed up look, but are super functional for the gym as well. Great yoga find- finally I don't have to worry about anyone seeing through my pants while in downward dog!
As far as fit goes, I'm only 5 feet tall, and I bought the XS. There weren't any XXS available in the store, which would have be nice to try on also, but the XS fits nicely in the waist- not too tight, definitely doesn't push in and make love handles (the waist band is thick, which is smoothing). They are a bit long and scrunch at the bottom, but this doesn't bother me at all- it's actually nice in the winter because I can pull it over my heels.
