I had bought a pair of the previous discontinues version of these pants that ran a size small and lived in them for a year, they still look brand new. I was super excited when they started selling this updated version and immediately bought a pair. The fabric is much thinner and 71% wool instead of 75%. After only a few months of wear holes are developing on the inside seam, even though they are not at all tight on me (which is good as the fabric would likely see through a bit then). I contacted customer service and was informed the fabric was changed due to customer feedback. I will gladly purchase these again in a second if they bring back the old fabric as the design and fit is amazing (I love the way the seams are done, the wasteband doesn't bunch or roll, the pockets are convenient without being bulky) but the current new fabric is not worth the price.

the Merino Wool& Piper leggings offer a commendable blend of fit and comfort, making them a promising choice for everyday wear. However, the abrupt appearance of a hole within a short span of ownership casts a shadow of doubt on their durability and overall value. I would not take these hiking. While the initial experience with these leggings was positive, the unexpected flaw serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough quality control and craftsmanship in ensuring customer satisfaction. As a consumer, I remain hopeful that future iterations of these leggings will address such concerns, delivering on their promise of comfort and longevity without compromise.

I just received my new wool leggings today and I am officially never taking them off! They are one with me, haha.

On a fit note: I normally wear a size 2 legging from Torrid, which I believe is the same as a 2X size. With that in mind, I initially purchased the XXL (the largest size Wool& currently offers) and was praying that they would fit. Imagine my surprise when they were too baggy! I have a friend who's a seamstress, and her thoughts are that it's almost like Wool& sizes the leggings as if they have no stretch - but these are quite stretchy and comfortable. So I exchanged for 2 sizes down and got a L, and they are a perfect fit for me. I like that they hit my waist and don't roll down. I love the size of the pockets, which are fairly large and are quite easy to get my phone in and out of. Even with the L I have a slight amount of wiggle room/roomy fabric at my ankles, but it's not a deal-breaker. The only additional request I would make for these otherwise perfect leggings is adding a compression/shaping element for the waist to the larger sizes. It would be nice to have that area be a little more flattering on the tummy rolls.

As for the opacity, they seem pretty good, but I wish they were fully opaque. My husband said when I bend over he could ever so slightly make out underwear lines/colors if you're looking for them, but hopefully nobody random is that close, haha. I am planning on wearing tunic-length shirts just to make sure there's no public wardrobe malfunctions, but I'm a bit bummed as I was hoping to be able to wear these for dance/workouts.

Overall though, 5 stars! They are very comfortable and function well as leggings, and I am happy enough with them that I will add more to my closet in the future.

These are my new favorite leggings and they are everything that I hoped they would be. They are comfy, the waistband is comfy, the elastic in the waistband doesn't get twisted up AND they have a bit of a polished/elegant vibe going on because of how the outside seams are constructed and how the material is a bit thicker, compared to regular leggings. I'm really looking forward to wearing these on an upcoming flight later this week. I use the Summit leggings for exercise/running, and these for everything else that doesn't require hard pants/a dress.

First of all, I LOVE wool&! I love their axis leggings and got these because I wanted something heavier weight. However, the waistband on this has a thick elastic band and is tight on my postpartum body (4 years postpartum). It also falls too high. I wanted to love these, but anytime I put them on I feel restricted and uncomfortable. Maybe if I got my flat abs back, they’d be comfortable?
