I've had these for a while now, and they hold up great. Have similar
pants from Prana that pilled. These are great for ashtanga and are high
enough on the waist that I'm not exposing my arse! Love so much bought
a second pair.
I absolutely love Be Present clothing. I think I have four pair of
these pants now. The quality is fantastic and the material is really
flexible for all of your poses. They're cute enough to run around in
before/after practice and they're great for hot yoga, as they are
light, yet durable and don't show the sweat and cellulite like those
spandexy pants. The waist is a tad higher than most pants, but that
creates a really slimming effect on almost anyone who wears them.
Furthermore, I have washed/dried them (one pair for years) and they
continue to hold up. They run very true to size. They are great for
travel as they weigh almost nothing and barely wrinkle. Lastly, they're
hip, grounded and are created by good people! Be Present. Live well.
these are great pants. It's true - they're not cheap, but for whatever
reason yoga-specific clothing is pricey. I found these to be reasonable
in comparison with other yoga labels.
In response to the 1 star
review below, only some of Be Presents' clothing is organic; the product
description clearly states that these pants are not (unless you somehow
think spandex is organic). Also, the treatment label says that they
must be tumble-dried on low. Tumble dry them on high heat - against the
instructions - and you can expect bad results. However, these are
designed to dry extremely fast (they are made for yoga afterall), so
these air-dry very quickly - there is no need for a dryer.
All in
all, these are the most comfortable, durable yoga pants I've tried yet.
The pockets and elastic band with drawstring make these eminently
wearable. In terms of the other review, people who don't read the
product description and then ignore the care instructions can't blame
the product if it doesn't live up to their "expectations."
They are perfect for
practice because they leave plenty of space in the legs (I have thick
ones). I no longer have to interrupt my movements to adjust my shorts. I
started practicing yoga with basketball shorts--not a good idea. These
were a huge improvement in terms of comfort. They are also breathable,
and dry out very quickly.
NOT JUST FOR YOGA
After a while, I
began to wear them outside of class. They are not exactly dress shorts,
but they work pretty well with polos. And, in the 100+ degree heat we
are having this week, I am really glad I have them. The material is
wonderful!
INNER LINING
I imagine the inner lining would work
fine for most people, but it was causing chafing for me. I have the same
problem with swimsuits. I think my thighs are just too big, they rub
together in the crotch area, and it is best not to have any seams there.
So, I prefer to wear underwear with them. I took some scissors to the
shorts and cut out the swimsuit lining.
DURABILITY
I've had
the shorts for years. They look the same as the day I got them. The
price is substantial, and I balked at first. However, I think they were
worth it. I would purchase more, but I already have plenty and they
never seem to wear out :)
