Wow, these Beyond Yoga Women's Essential Long Leggings yoga pants are super soft. The color is a pretty charcoal gray. It has a little shimmer to it. They are LONG. I ordered a medium and they are a snug fit on me in the legs. I am fairly thin at 5'5" 118 lbs. Personally, I do not like my leggings too tight, these are tight enough for me. I think they run small for width but not small in the length!! I am amaze at how comfortable the fabric feels, the material is a nice thickness. Not too thick but not sheer or too thin. These leggings are unique in that there is only one side seam on the inside of the leg. No seam exists on the outside of your leg. The waist is a comfortable fit. They say they do not shrink and hold their shape, normally I do not put any of my workout clothing in the dryer. I will update my review if I find they do not wash or dry well. There is a manufacturers tag on my pants stating they cost $84.00, Amazon price is $39.85. I received these for a nominal tax fee in return for my honest opinion. I would find it hard to spend $84, for leggings even though I like the softness of the material.
