I have many pairs of fleece-lined leggings. These are my first with the flared legs, and I have to say I really love the design! Also, the fleece is warm without ever feeling hot. I wear my fleece leggings even when it's in the 70s sometimes because I find them so comfy. The fleece never feels thick or heavy, yet they have a nice warmth for my morning walks. The fabric is a very nice quality that is very supportive without being a struggle to pull on. I first bought a pair of the black ones, then turned around and bought another pair (royal blue) the same day I received my first pair. True to size.
