Surprisingly Good - Would Buy Again

The Elations are my first pair of Leggings by Athleta and very comparable to other competitors that sell leggings on the high-end. I like that the leggings are buttery soft, have some compression....but the waist band is what sold me! Its thick, hugs you in, flattering to the waist, and doesn't fa...

Worst leggings I've ever worn

I have leggings in almost every brand out there and these have to be the worst pair I've ever bought. I have the shortest legs, usually a 25" inseam fits me like they're full length, but these fit like a cropped pair of leggings (capris!!!). Also I'm religiously a size small in leggings and these ha...

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise 7/8 Legging

I'm trying to figure out if I should have sized down. I love the fabric and start every morning at 5 am in a pair of Elation leggings for my morning walk.

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise 7/8 Legging

I have three pairs of the same leggings in the same size. They are my favorite. Since they all tend to pill pretty badly between the legs (one major downside), I wanted a fresh pair for the summer. So I ordered these and wore them to my workout. The are not the same leggings - they run much smaller. The waiseband rolled over anytime I bent forward. Dug into my waist. The weird thing is that I have lost a little weight so these should I have fit the same but they ran small. Even the 7/8ths is much higher on the leg. I am hoping the store will take the return

Love these the waist has the same stability as the other elation colors but the actual leg fabric is definitely a little thinner. I like it a lot more. Feels like a mix of the vest aspects of the elation and the transcend tights. The security of the elation waistband but the comfortability of the transcend leg!

BEWARE: Polyester not Nylon

I ordered these white elation leggings along with 2 other light colors. I knew something was off with them as soon as I put them on. The material on these leggings is Polyester and lycra not nylon and lycra. The leggings are slippery, they don't stay up and the material is awful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading the details before purchasing. These leggings ALL LOOK THE SAME but NOT MADE WITH THE SAME MATERIAL. Nylon is the way to go! Why Athleta? It's only in the details. If I purchased 3 pairs prior what would it have to be necessary to assume the material wouldn't be the same. So dissatisfied with my purchase and one is non refundable.

Soft!

They are perfect length, so soft and stretch with movement.

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise 7/8 Legging

The color is beautiful. I normally buy the black leggings, so the navy color adds variety to my collection. The fit is snug and supportive. The 7/8 length works well for my petite frame. I love these leggings and will continue to buy them.

I have been buying these leggings for over 5 years not and I have over 15 pairs. I absolutely would refuse to buy workout leggings anywhere else. These were my hail mary. Unfortunately, I just purchased a new pair and was left VERY DISSAPOINTED. The waist of the new design is much lower, but my main complaint is the fabric... It is much thiner and has more stretch. You could see the tag through the leggings while standing straight up and the compression that the old design provided, which is why I loved these leggings, is no more. I can't believe my favorite legging is gone. PLEASE ATHLETA, BRING BACK THE OLD DESIGN!!!
