Sadly, I'm disappointed. These are a thinner material compared to my matador meggings, so time will tell how long they last. The fit is poor; I'm 6' @ 200 lbs and normally wear a 34-36 waist with a 34 inseam so I ordered size large. Unfortunately, I have to hike my meggings up all the way up and roll the waistband once to get a decent fit. There is also no pouch contour in the crouch area which leaves my package mashed and not at all flattering-- it's like what you expect female leggings to fit like. I purchased the core meggings, which do not have pockets. I also purchased a pair of performance meggings, which do have a regular open pocket and a zipper pocket. The placement of the pockets would be much better on the outer thighs than on the butt where they don't seem too useful. Both seem to be the same thin material. I wanted to like these but they failed to meet my expectations.
