These tights wear like steel! My hard-playing daughter has worn these all winter long and only now (after five months) is one pair of tights starting to get a hole in the toe. I agree with the other reviewer who thought they ran small in size. I originally bought these tights for my older daughter for a Halloween costume (it was a few days before Halloween and I love Zappos' one day shipping!) -- but these tights quickly became the go-to for my younger daughter. I bought the large (size 6-8), but my 4½ year old daughter is the one who fits them (she is quite tall for her age, though). I cannot recommend these tights highly enough. The price is a bit steep, but they are completely worth it.

I bought these for my hard-playing 5 year old. She's very hard on her clothes, picky about being hot or itchy, and we live above 8,000 ft (Brrrr). We both love them. She even wears them under snow pants so she doesn't have to change out of her skirt... she's still warm and they haven't ripped yet. She wore the bright pink pair by themselves out in muddy snow and they still held up and washed clean, despite her knee being completely soaked through with mud. They are thick and warm without being bulky, itchy, or non-stylish. I highly recommend these tights.
