These leggings are water resistant and can withstand light rain for a short period of time, offering wind protection. They are stretchy and comfortable, not bulky, and durable enough to repel the cold. They provide better control of the abdomen and keep your core warm, slimming your waist and accentuating your natural curves. Additionally, they feature side pockets to carry your personal belongings while you train. They are perfect for lounging, working out, dressing up with a tunic and boots, or with sweatshirts and sneakers. They are also ideal for running, yoga, dance, aerobics, pilates, or any type of gym workout. They can also be used as a base layer under ski pants or other trousers.
