In my opinion, these have been some of the best athletic leggings I’ve ever purchased. I have worn them multiple seasons and there has been no derogation of quality since being brand new. The material is thick and opaque, there are pockets, an just a little criss-cross pattern over mesh about the calf. The black bands are not attached to the mesh either so, as the mesh stretches it isn’t torn by stitching. Highly recommend buying these! No stains or tears that I can see.
