My wife and two daughters take comfortable clothes at home for granted and I decided it was time for a change. But seriously, it was a "kill two birds with one stone" scenario. I needed something to wear while jogging in cold weather, and I didn't understand why women had the monopoly on leggings. I like the shorter legs on them and they fit just like I expected. They're thick enough for me to wear comfortably in public for a workout, but I don't think I'd want to wear them at Target. (Maybe Walmart) However, whites can get a bit see-through if tight enough, which is a little counter-intuitive when you get them to compress. In any case, there are no complaints and they serve their purpose.
