The print is called Black-Heather Gray Stripe. Doesn't it kind of look like Lululemon's coal strata stripe?
Anyway, I bought them thinking they'd be great to lounge around in and I can wear them like how I wear my Lululemon herringbone wunder under pants - with boots. But when I opened the package, I was quite surprised to find that they are not made of the usual Beyond Yoga supplex material. I think they are Beyond Yoga's version of a "luxtreme" - a more high impact material. The exact material composition is 35% nylon / 29% polyester / 24% supplex / 12% lycra. So it definitely feels silkier than their supplex. But it's softer than Lululemon's luxtreme. It's kind of in between Lululemon's luon and luxtreme. I guess it's closest to brushed luxtreme(!!) which is very nice. So I'm happy that I can actually wear them to do higher impact workouts! I can't wait to try them out tomorrow.
Here they are on me. I bought in the same size as my other Beyond Yoga leggings - XS. They fit true to size.
Here's the print up close - I wish they had made the print on the waistband parallel to the rest of the pants! But that's probably just me being OCD. I don't think anyone ever sees the waistband of my pants anyway.
They kind of pool on the bottom on me. I think the length is the same as Lululemon's wunder under pants. I don't mind this look at all.
But as you know, I like to wear my full length tights as crops! Since this material is thinner than supplex, I can create a fold on the bottom rather easily.
Tadaaaa!
So happy I got these! They will go with everything which is excellent. They are super comfy so I think I could also wear them casually with boots like my original intended purpose. $45 bucks for these is such a steal!
