If you've been wanting to try merino wool leggings, these are excellent! WoolX makes the softest, most durable garments The Stella leggings are proof! They're made with a wide waistband that stays put. They are thick but not bulky and not at all see-through. They are mostly merino with just enough spandex to keep their shape. AND they are machine wash and tumble dry! I have loved these leggings. Unfortunately, I shrank, and they did not. Size Large (31-33" waistband, hips 42-43.5, 28" inseam)
