Customer Reviews Prana Misty Legging

The last thing you ever want to worry about whilst reaching Nirvana is the pants you have on. These pants sat perfectly on my body during my practice and I never had to readjust them. The waist band is not constricting at all and moves comfortably with each pose. Aside from yoga, I can take these along for a normal day running errands because I just love the breathable fabric and beautiful pattern!

This was my first time trying Prana leggings and I am hooked! The initial fit was perfect - I am typically a size 6-8 in pants and the medium fit like a glove. I love the textured feel of the material and the rouched ankle at the back (these details will depend on the color you choose). The material moved so well with me during yoga class. I never had to adjust them - the waistband was secure and not constricting. Compared with the Lululemon leggings I am used to, these are much more breathable and the material is much softer.

I love these pants! They are comfortable, exciting, flattering and durable. I cannot wash and wear them again fast enough. The fit is more generous than my other brands: Teeki, Trina Turk and Head brands. I would say buy down a size. My XS are almost baggy where other brands are snug on me. Compression is moderate but stills feels serious.

A little background - I have never worn leggings. I wear running shorts all summer and Exofficio pants in the winter. Since I've been working out, my trunk area has widened quite a bit and I can't force myself to wear any sort of regular pant (jeans, trousers, etc) that fits uncomfortably and/or restricts movement. I'm tired of my Exofficio pants (and they don't fit as well since the bubble butt and wide thigh revolution happened) so my sister encouraged me to try leggings. I strongly dislike shopping and trying on clothes so I try to purchase quality materials and brands that will last awhile. I plan to wear my leggings both as pants and under loose sweaters/shirts. I want a 'basic' legging that is versatile so I did not purchase any loud colors or patterns. I also like clothes that I can wear from work right into the forest for a hike. Having never worn any legging brands, I went hog wild and ordered 11 pairs to try on, 9 of which came from Zappos. Here are my body stats - 41" hip, 31" waist, usually pant size 10, weight ~ 145-152, height 5'7", A little soft in the middle but strong, toned legs. Here are my thoughts - Lysse Tight Ankle Legging 1219 Super tight, could not get over thighs. Nope Patagonia Serenity Legging Shorter than all the others; unattractive near crotch area Prana Misty Legging Very nice material, cool pattern and easy to get on; too low in back and front; unattractive crotch area Yummie Rachel Legging Perfect waistband height, nice feeling material, great length; a little difficult to get on but felt 'right' once they were in place. No movement when bending over. Definitely not see-through. Maybe a little too tight but perfect waistband Hue Ultra Legging w/Wide waistband Great waistband although the Rachel felt most 'right'. Super SUPER comfortable and great for movement/various positions (squatting, crossed legs on floor, etc). Has less cotton and less spandex then Rachel and the difference is made up by Rayon. Definitely not see-through and a bit stretch-ier fit than the Rachel. These were 1" wider on leg opening which I'm sure contributed to the ease of putting on and taking off. Yummie Hannah Legging These made the second round because they had a balanced feeling material and I liked the V look in front. Ultimately, the waistband was a little too low and it both cut in at my gut and was a little revealing when I bent over. Yummie Milan Legging This one was very similar to the Rachel except slightly different fabric blend (88% cotton/12% elastane Rachel vs 84% cotton/16% spandex Milan). I liked them but felt they fit slightly too tight. Yummie Louise Legging These were quickly eliminated - too tight, too spandex-y, and too short Yummie Lenox Legging These made the second round, along with the Yummie Rachel, Yummie Milan & the Hue. I liked the pocket and there was nice give in the leg when pulling them on. Perfect length and nice smooth material. Great height on waist. I tried the Lenox on and then the Rachel, back and forth, trying to decide which I preferred. The Rachel won. While investigating the two, I realized it might be due to the difference in their materials. Rachel is 88% cotton/12% elastane and the Lenox is 88% polyester/12% spandex. ALSO, the ankle is very tight. Merrell Ergoluxe Method Legging Neat pockets, wanted to love them, medium difficulty getting them on; waistband not high enough and not versatile fabric (looks like athletic wear) Merrell Lithos Straight Leg Pant Great fit and super comfortable, perfect length and nice in-between of yoga pant and legging. Ankle is loose (yoga pant) and sits on top of a sneaker nicely but butt/thigh area is tighter like a legging. Eliminated these based on 88% polyester since I already own a pair that is mostly polyester. FINAL DECISION I'm keeping the Rachel and the Hue legging. They just feel so amazing. UPDATE: The Rachel comes up 1 inch higher in the front and is definitely noticeable; I find myself occasionally pulling up on the Hue but the Rachel sits in exactly the right place. Still glad I purchased both.

These were not midrise. The labeling said low rise, fitted. I ordered 2 pair and they were totally different.
