I have been wearing my fleece leggings from last year (Kind Apparel) non-stop, and I was so excited to try out the updated design. Let's start with the good: the fabric is absolutely amazing--buttery soft, warm, feels like it would be great for lounging, winter hiking, and XC skiing, and the pattern is gorgeous. However, I have always been a small in all of my leggings (5'9", 145lbs, muscular), and that was my size based on the size chart, but the fit was just not quite right. The legs seemed really tight, so tight that I wasn't even sure I'd get them all the way up my legs. And when I did, the waistband was loose, so they just constantly slid down and were saggy in the crotch. I couldn't squat down without my underwear showing, and it was not comfortable. I wish they were less snug in the legs, more snug at the waist, and had a higher rise. I sadly am returning these, but I love all my other pieces from Mallory, and hope the fit will work for me on future leggings!
