Review on Cotton Comfort: No Nonsense Women'S Leggings For Everyday Wear by Christopher Hicks

The weight of the fabric is pretty much the same I think, but the waistband is maybe an inch wide as opposed to the very wide waistband they used to have. It also does not have the comfortable snugness of that waist. The waist on these is larger, and the length longer--which is good news if you need those features. I also noticed they got baggier at the knees sooner. This may be in part because of the extra length, but I'm not sure. I'm approximately 154 lbs and 5'3, if that helps.
