I had the Gary's before and I did like them but I also really love these!! The material is slightly heavier and they look a bit trendier, I think. A great yoga type pant. I got the grey so they don't look shiny at all. Maybe run a little big but not hugely. I wear a small and got a small. No pockets sticking out like some reviewers have said. Will be cute with mini Uggs or trainers. I know a lot of people have said they don't like them but I think there are a lot of traditional joggers on the market you can go for but these are a little bit different and excellent quality. Give them a try - don't be put off by the bad reviews! Originally posted on www.sweatybetty.com
