Awesome!
Absolutely LOVE these crops. Didn't think I'd like them at first because they seemed sort of plain, but I was totally wrong. The stripe on the side and angled pocket detail help to break up the look so it doesn't look like plain black tights/stockings. There are just so many great things about these crops. LOVE, Love, Love the high waist, it's perfect for helping to hold in any wobbly bits, especially under those fitted lulu tops, and the compression on these pants is amazing. I actually bought these for their functional qualities because my knees tend to hurt with running and other exercises, and the compression on these pants really helps. The only thing I do not like about these crops is that they are see through and look thin in bending areas, like when I'm stretching and bend my knees I can totally see my knee and taping through the pants, especially in the deep coal color. I'm still trying to figure out how they can look so thin yet still have such great compression. I would love to see more of this style with some cute details, like the tiny little ruffle that was on the bottom of the run stay on course crop (also an amazing run crop!). Super amazing, functional crops ~ highly recommend!

Still unsure...
I purchased these crops to replace running tights from high school, and also I had heard such great things about Lululemon. I went for a couple runs in them and they were alright. The high waist was great and very comfortable but the crotch did slide down a little. One complaint though it that it bunched behind my knee and start to irritate the area, especially on the sides because of the stitching. Putting mesh here and eliminating the seam and extra fabric on the outside/back part of the knee would have been nice. I also have noticed that the stitching on the side pocket has started to come undone. I am not too pleased about that since they were relatively expensive. Aside from that these crops are very comfortable to wear around even when I am not running.

LOVE the High Rise!
I bought these crops because they said high rise. I've always felt that the low rise didn't hold enough in while running...and I'd constantly be pulling them up. But not so with these. They are a dream! They hold everything in...and I don't have to worry about tugging them up continuously while running. I also love the reflective detailing on the leg and the side pockets. Lots of room for storing keys, money and gels. I do find these to be a bit warmer than some of my other crops since there isn't any mesh in the back of the legs -- that's the only thing that could make these crops PERFECT. The material feels a bit thicker than say, my mind over matter crops...and also a TINY bit see through if you bend over...BUT, these crops are made for running, not bending over. No issues with being able to see through when standing or running.
Please make more HIGH RISE crops, pants and SHORTS!!!

BEST running tights for curvy girls
These are the first crops I sized down in (b/c of suggestion from an educator) since I have the constant problem of my pants sliding down when running. I was hesitant; but am now in love with them. Hands-down the best tights I have in my wardrobe for running. NO SLIDING! I have a small waist with larger butt and thighs; so the high-waist is genius! I wish Lulu would make these in solid back; as well as other colors.

My first Lululemon
I loved these when i first purchased them...they held everything in, no jiggles but...
When I do squats, my husband says it's see through
When I gain a few extra pounds, they are so tight and a bit uncomfortable to workout in.
I am gonna try to Run:Inspire crop and compare

Love, love the waist! Love the fit
These are TTS, but on the larger end of TTS (i.e. I could probably have gone down a size but preferred to stay with my usual lulu size). The higher waist is fantastic -- stretchy, not-binding and very comfortable -- just right! Crops stay up without needing to be adjusted during exercise -- a big plus!! Pockets on the side are more decorative than practical since you already have the back zipper pocket, but they don't detract from the silhouette. Love the ruching detail down the outside of the leg bottom and the attractive reflective stripe for nighttime. Would be delighted to buy another in a tone-on-tone color like black with dark grey.

Great material...poor fit
Love the material and the details on the legs, however, the crotch of the pants is so low that it is uncomfortable to run. I actually bought a smaller size than normal because the rise was so high and the crotch so low, but, still didn't help.

My favorite crop for CrossFit, running and beyond.
I have five pairs of these crops and they are by far the ones I reach for the most. What I love the most about them is the four-way stretch. It reduces bounce to nearly nothing which especially helpful with the running, jumping, etc. that CrossFit workouts can combine. The wicking is also pretty amazing and I never have to adjust these during a workout. They are also TTS and do wonderful things for the legs and booty. The only issue I have is that the newer crops -- as some have mentioned here -- have problems with the stitching. In under three wears, the stitching along the inner thigh of two pairs of these has come undone. Lululemon was great about exchanging them for something else, but that doesn't really help the ladies without a local Lululemon store. I've also found some differences in fabric -- I have a gray pair of crops that don't quite have the same squeeze factor as the black ones. But honestly, as long as Lulu keeps making these, I will keep buying. So please don't stop!

love the high rise
Love these crops. They hold my belly in without sliding down at all. Very high rise but that is why I got them. Please don't stop making these!!!

Higher rise, love the details
I bought these to run a half marathon - I love the gel pockets in the waist as well as the pockets on the legs. These do come up higher in the rise than shown, but I don't mind that too much - I'd rather have too high than too low. :) also, the crotch did sag before I started running. I found that if I pulled up the bottom higher on my calf, the crotch would stay in place (where I wanted it). I enjoyed my first run in these and can't wait to wear them again!
