1. Size – I wear a small. LIVE! does NOT have size XS. The small is slightly loose around my knees; other than that, it fits pretty well. I wear Lululemon size 4 for your reference. 2. Style – Full length legging. 3. Inseam – 29,5" long. I wish it is few inches shorter. I don't like to have extra fabric bunching around my ankle especially when I wear it to work. 4. Front Rise – 9.5" high rise. It goes up to my navel. I like high rise leggings as they provide great coverage and support. 5. Waistband – 2.75" comfortable waistband. The waistband style reminds me of the maternity jeans. |
6. Fabric – 85% Polyester and 15% Spandex. It is very stretchy and great for yoga. It is medium compression. The fabric is very similar to Liquido's. 7. Design for – This legging looks like a real pair of jeans. I have been wearing it to work a lot. It is also great for yoga, Pilates and gym workouts. 8. Cost – Retail price $72. I bought it on sale in addition to my instructor discount at Brazil Wear for $45.9 + tax + shipping. 9. Stitch Seam – Overlocking seams. I wish it comes with flatlocking seams. It isn't uncomfortable to wear, but inseams leave marks on my inner legs. Also, the threads being stretched out are quite noticeable. |
10. Crotch Seam – No gusset.
The legging is made in Brazil.

LIVE! definitely designs unique and fashionable leggings and Riff Urban Power Denim Tight is no exception. It is stylish to wear not only to the gym and studio but also on the street and to work. It is lightweight and super stretchy. It reminds me of Liquido patterned leggings. It is fast dry and sweat wicking. Most importantly, the legging flatters my body curvatures really well. It lifts the butt and the "denim wash" makes my legs look few inches skinnier. I wish it has flat locking seams. Overclocking seams leave dent marks on my skin, which is minor, but seeing visible stretched out seams bothers me as I am trying to fit in a pant that's too tight on me. I also notice that the legging is slightly sheer when I wear a dark underwear, but it is fine with a light or nude color underwear. I am a little disappointed by it. That said, I will still shop at LIVE!. I like the fit, comfort, style and the performance of the Riff Urban Power Denim Tight offers and it is reasonably priced.
