Dragon Fit womens Leggings

I think this is my first review in over 20 years of using Amazon frequently, but I feel compelled to pass along the knowledge I’ve acquired in shopping these Dragon Fit leggings. First, this brand is excellent and an incredible value! Feel confident that whatever you order is a good product. For reference, I am almost always XL in pants/leggings, but I wanted a true compression fit and the XL I ordered first was nowhere near the level of compression I wanted. L was perfect! I’m 5’5”, 205ish, hourglass proportions, 14/16 in numerical sizes. I’d probably feel the XL would be too big regardless, so it’s fair to say these run just slightly larger than true to size.The leggings are a bit long, but nothing crazy that would look dumb on an average leg length. The waist is legit high and great at holding the tummy in and has not rolled down at all so far (worn them 4-5 times). There’s an elastic band, like maybe an inch wide, inside the very wide waist panel and a seamed finish at the very top of the waist, ie not a fancy smooth seamless waist. It doesn’t bother me, chafe, look lumpy, or cause a weird muffin top, but for some it might. I’ve seen other reviews citing the lack of smooth, seamless waist as a problem. Just remember these leggings are $20-$28, so you’re not getting the most cutting-edge construction, but they are a fantastic value if you want decent compression and high quality, non-sheer material.The semi-complicated bit- Dragon Fit is selling seemingly identical leggings under similar listings, but in very different fabrics. The company does nothing to draw your attention to or explain this difference. Here’s my best explanation: 80% polyamide 20% spandex is the very popular, “buttery”, silky/slippery, semi-shiny material that you see more and more in leggings these days. 88% polyamide 12% spandex is more of a “cottony” feel, zero shine, and IMO (having tried both materials in several sizes) better at true compression and no hint of see-through-ness or showing lumps and bumps. However, both materials are pretty good in this respect, especially compared with other inexpensive leggings brands. They are thick, durable fabrics and preference just comes down to personal priorities.The main downside in the 88/12? LINT MAGNET. I have pets and this is a problem, but not enough to outweigh how absolutely flattering and sturdy the material is. With the 80/20, I’d have to worry about “picks” and snags from cat/dog claws, sitting on or brushing against a very rough surface, etc etc etc. 88/12 is far less likely to have these problems or for them to show if they do happen. The simplest analogy is think about like a classic stretchy swimsuit material vs a cotton t-shirt. Lint sticks to the t-shirt more easily, but the swimsuit shows snags and wear faster. It comes down to what works for your life and the priorities you have in buying leggings. Also, color makes a huge difference re lint- mine are black, the absolute worst for showing lint. If I’d bought space dye gray, for example, it’s possible I wouldn’t have even noticed any lint. Regardless, I’m sticking with 88/12 and stocking up on lint rollers, which honestly I have to use on most of my other clothes anyway, so 🤷🏻‍♀️I’ve laundered my black leggings like 4 times and so far no fading, fraying, pilling, or seam problems. I wash on cold/normal, inside out in a delicates bag, air dry. No idea how they’d do in a dryer, but I’ve never put leggings in the dryer and if you really want these to keep that strong compression, I’d advise not subjecting them to the heat of the dryer. They do come out of the wash with the aforementioned lint, but again, legging color choice matters here. A lint roller easily pulls everything off.After a ton of searching, it appears Dragon Fit is only using 88/12 for the “no side pocket” design, except black and some fleece. I’ve become pretty attached to having side pockets on leggings, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the company expands the 88/12 material to more side pocket leggings because I’d buy every color. In the meantime, I’ll buy a few without side pockets and try to get used to having my phone stashed against my lumbar in that back of the waistband pocket.Hopefully this is helpful to someone who has also been baffled by the Dragon Fit material content issue. Just look carefully at the entire listing for the exact pair (even the size and color) you order - they show the material content on all their listings in the fine print. Good luck! And remember, regardless of what Dragon Fit leggings you end up with, they are all really great 😊

These leggings are fantastic! I bought the largest size available (XL) and was pretty concerned they would be too small or sheer. I’m 5’9”, about 210lbs very hip/butt heavy, and I usually wear a size 16 or so.I got these in the mail today and I was pleasantly surprised! They are tight to get on, but once I got them over my hips they fit like a DREAM. They keep my tummy under control and my husband says my butt looks amazing. Everything feels very locked in place. The waistband is nice and thick, and goes up to my natural waist without rolling or moving. I can’t say these are perfectly squat proof when someone my size wears the XL, but wearing a thong I don’t notice any sheerness at all and feel very comfortable wearing these in public out walking and working out. The pockets are big enough to comfortable holding my iPhone 11 plus with a pop socket, and my phone doesn’t move around when I walk and run. Lastly - these reach my ankles (rare!) without issue and are nice and snug around my ankles too without any extra fabric. I LOVE these leggings and will be ordering more.

I’ve had these for a while now and I love them EXCEPT they are a pet hair magnet. The material is thick enough to be opaque all over but light enough to not be hot. The pockets fit my big phone with a pop socket. The high waist stays up without digging in anywhere. But yeah I can’t wear them without being totally covered in my pets’ hair :( small sacrifice for comfy pants.

OK I ordered every single pair of workout leggings with four and five stars off of Amazon. None of them fit the way these do. These have amazing compression, and what I like is the waist is high.I’ve had three C-sections and every pair of workout leggings I’ve tried they claim to be high waist and they’re just not HIGH ENOUGH.I run 7 miles a day and at once these are pulled up they don’t even move the minute I get on the treadmill. They stay put! I highly recommend buying these if you are a new mama looking to get back into exercise. I am 5 foot 855 pounds and I ordered a large. I read some reviews people were complaining about the tight waistband. That is true. It is tight but that’s what I like about them. If you are unsure about a size, size up. As far as I’m concerned, I’m definitely going to order more pairs.

Love to wear it to work and grocery store.Feels so smooth and hugs the body well

I am tired of paying exorbitant prices for my usual brand. After all, I am just going to sweat in it and then throw it in the laundry. So I have been on the hunt for a more cost effective alternative. This is it. They are just as quality as my $100 pair, but I can get 4 or 5 pairs for the same cost.The fabric is durable and compressive. (If you want extra compression, size down.)They are squat proof. ( Do not have to be pulled up after every squat and are not see through.)I only wear mine for working out, but they are comfortable enough to wear all day if one chooses to.

I love the fit and quality. Was disappointed though because I have 3 pairs of this brand’s joggers which are the best! Same company, same material listed, not the same feel. The joggers are slick and dog hair and lint do not stick to it. These feel more like cotton joggers and everything sticks to them. Will keep because they do look great and are super flattering but will have to hair deal with using a lint brush.

When I took the leggings out of the package they definitely looked too small. I buried them in the drawer until last week. Surprisingly they fit perfectly and looked great on. I will purchase again.
