Never thought I would get this hyped up over a pair of leggings, but I have been wearing these every day since they arrived and have been putting off doing laundry because I don’t want to wait for them to dry lol. Waist 34 hip 44 and got a large and they fit great with a nice level of compression. The length is also great for me, I’m about 5’8” and often leggings are just a wee bit too short. Would love a version with side pockets and would also looooove some kind of winter weight legging like this (bamboo fleece or terry inside) as these won’t be warm enough for wearing out and about once Ontario winter truly sets in.
I have shied away from trying the robson tight and now I know what I have been missing! I'm not a fan of high compression in my abdomen so I decided to size up from my normal bamboo size. I have now worn these lounging around, at ballet class, under dresses, on a plane...possibilities seem endless. The band doesn't need constant adjusting. Because I sized up, I didn't go through a break in period.
I think I wore these for three days straight when I got them. I ordered an L (I’m usually between M/L for Free Label pants). They were tight when I first put them on and I got scare, but they relaxed after a day. I thought they were a tiny bit shiny at first but not really noticing anymore. Super soft, holds me in the right spots, love the high rise, front pocket is just big enough for my iPhone (would love a side pocket version too!!). Will not wait so long in the future to snap up more in other colors.
The quality of these leggings is amazing. I never want to take them off.
I need high-rise leggings with a strong elastic at the top to keep them up. I was hoping that the Robson tights would fit the bill, but they disappointed on both counts. They are high-rise, but it's going a bit far to call them "ultra high-rise". There is a thin elastic at the top, but it wasn't strong enough and after bending over a couple of times the waistband rolled down under my gut.
I am 5'6", 180lbs, Waist - 35", Hips 43" and ordered a size Large, same as the Stevie denim pants.
Pictures are before and after the waistband rolled down.
