It's cold outside and I'm cold and I will most definitely NOT a pant buy if I have good jeans and must underweare only ne leggings. For working outdoors, it is also suitable. No pinches and keeps you warm. The same pants in short, I got myself for football, holding course is not quite as warm, but when you're on the move you do not need then also. Theoretically you could use this (long leggings) for sports. That would be a bit embarrassing. Under jeans where you can not see it, it is ok.
