These are my favs! I love the Midweight Stretch Leggings!! But they are hard to find around the stores in Ohio. They are super comfortable and I wear them all winter, just have 4 pairs that I alternate. I have 2 old purple ones and the charcoal ones. The light colored ones are butt ugly! I wish they had better colors too!I agree they are rank smelling fast too! They move with ones body, weight gain or loss, weight-training, biking, everything. They are also great for lounging around the house, at least in a cooler house.

Customer Service

I have been buying Patagonia mens and womens products for 16 years, and have been happy with the merchandise overall.
But I do have big concerns! What upsets me most is the return policy and how they claim just send it back! I used to have no problem sending things back,say when the elastic from a pair of expedition weight underwear lost its zing in one winter or the elastic lost it in their Baggies shorts. They sent me a replacement back pronto or my money back. But recently, they won't take back things I buy. I bought about 8 silkweight capliene shirts in different colors. I only tried them on and didn't like some of the colors on me, so I washed them and returned them. They were in totally perfect condition! They then sent me back the shirts and said they would not refund my money. The next year, I bought a Patagonia R3 mens jacket and discovered a design problem with the pocket design,where the zipper caught on the inside pocket material, preventing the pocket from being unziped. I returned it and they wrote a nasty letter to me to say they prefer me not to do business with them anymore! Can you believe that?
The other complaint I have is that their womens sizes are too small! I need XL to even think about buying their tops! I end up buying unisex.

But they don't make Stretch Midweight anymore that I can find! Isn't that always what happens!

I live in these tights. I love the dark grey ones. The light grey can get pretty hideous- especially when you don't take them off for a week or so. I wish that they came in more colors. The best part about them is that they move with you. The fit is super comfortable. The worst part is that they pill pretty badly. The tops, which I also live in, can smell pretty ripe. I am sure that there must be tops that no not get so smelly so quickly, but I just love the stretch. The other downside is that they are quite pricey.
