They’re made with a soft fabric that feels smooth to the touch while providing a compressive fit.

These leggings provided the perfect amount of warmth in cool temperatures between 40 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

We also love the two side pockets that don’t feel bulky but can comfortably fit a smartphone.

The leggings pilled after a couple of wears, and the size range is somewhat limited.

The waistband slipped a lot while we were running, so we wish we picked a smaller size.

We love to see inclusive brands that offer a wide size range.

We wore these leggings while walking, running, and lounging at home.

The leggings are made with a sleek outer fabric and soft, low-pile inner fleece lining.

We also like the reflective zipper pockets that are easily accessible while on the go.

The leggings were lightly pilled on the inner thigh after one wash.

It would be helpful to have a pocket to stash keys or a phone in.

They wouldnt be the best leggings for high-intensity activities.

They’re functional, warm, comfortable, and durable.

Even curling up on the couch, there wasn’t any stretching or sagging.

We would love a pocket or two to hold our phone.

Fleece-lined leggings can sometimes feel stiff or bulky but not these ones from Sugoi.

Made from 100 percent spandex with a fleece inner lining, these are extremely stretchy and flexible.

The leggings were a little loose in the stomach.

Although the fabric in the stomach was slightly loose, we found the length fit our legs perfectly.

The leggings have a mid-rise waist, which may not be to everyone’s tastes.

After multiple wears and washes, the materials held up perfectly, appearing brand new.

They run a little big, and we noticed some pilling after a couple of wears.

Once you wear leggings with pockets, you’ll never go back.

We also didn’t notice any fading after wearing and washing these several times.

Made from polyamide and spandex, these feel soft and smooth inside and out.

They are noticeably thicker than regular leggings, which is expected thanks to the fleece lining.

These leggings run true to size, although they may be a little long for petite sizes.

The most high-quality leggings we tested featured designs that were flattering and functional with soft and thick materials.

It’s important for your leggings to boast a handful of convenient features in addition to keeping you warm.

you’ve got the option to essentially follow the same guidelines you would when buying regular leggings.

To avoid any shrinking or pilling, air-dry the leggings on a hanger or drying rack.

Denim also gets cold when it gets damp or wet.

She has been travel writing since 2018 and product testing since 2021.
