I would give these 100 stars if I could. I have been on a quest to find a decent pair of capri leggings for years now. A decent pair that was reasonably priced because A) I'm on a budget B) I need several pairs and C) I need money to buy books (the book thing is why A is there). I found them.I teach group fitness and workout on my own quite a bit. I also throw on my leggings to run errands on the weekends. For starters I'm short. Only 5 feet. Usually capri leggings, even when pulling them up and accounting for the stretch, really hit a little above my ankles. Sometimes the lower part of my calf. These actually look like capris on me. There's not too much extra material to pull up on the legs, but I also think these would work well for taller people. I think that somehow a pair of leggings has been created that works for various heights. They are not sheer. I got the space dye white (and just about every other color in the capri length) and did squats, bent over, contorted myself all the ways I could and couldn't really see through them. I asked some girls at the gym and they said no, they couldn't see through them. I feel like the white might be just slightly, a little smidge of see through, but nothing that would embarrass you. And as someone who was once teaching a class in a pair of solid black leggings that I later found out were very see through when you went down for a squat...I am very rigorous about testing for that. Especially on lighter colors.They stay put. I have worn these on a walk, a run, teaching a strength training class, doing yoga, doing barre...they stayed where I put them in the first place. I never felt like they were falling down or migrating to a different zip code. They are also very supportive. Some leggings I have gotten maybe stayed in place but felt like I was wearing cotton sweatpants or something. These are the exact opposite of that. The waistband is actually comfortable as well. Sometimes decent leggings that stay in place and are supportive have a waistband that feel as though it's cutting me in half. Not these. I can move and breath quite comfortably in these.I ordered two pairs at first just see how these would work. I thought they'd be OK enough, but I'd still have to look around. Nope. These were the pair I had been searching for. I ordered just about every color I could in the capri length and several pairs of the black. I have found my favorite leggings. I love them. Oh, and they have pockets! :-)
