In early 2012 I bought these tights in royal blue and navy in size XXL for wearing underneath, even under wide thin skirts. Only now (early 2015) is the wide elastic waistband losing its elasticity, the pants itself is still good. Above all, I appreciate that the inseams have not resolved and there were no holes in the material, as it was the case with cotton tights that I have worn before. One point deduction I give for price developments: 2012, the tights (incl. Shipping) at ALLSTAR sports cost 9,95 Euro (incl. Shipping), Damian Clarion she now sells for 14.15 euros, which is really quite a price increase, but may be caused by Prouzenten (Stanno). Nevertheless, I would buy it again.
