Morgan Benes: Nike legendary! I have chub rub but ran a half with them on and no pilling… Dead serious, I’ve worn them for several classes, weight training, and running still no pilling. And they are squat proof!
Marcela Abeyta Donatelli: My Athleta capris are amazing!
Cindy Deas Wells: Pearl Izumi. They are better known for their cycling shorts, but their running tights are awesome.
Michelle Delecki: Lululemon Rebel Runners. Ordered my first pair of CW-X, so those may become my new favorite
Sylvia Ross: Nike – have two pairs which I alternate. Had them for years, washed em week in, week out. Showing no signs of wear. Perfect fit, very comfortable. Back zip pocket with plenty of depth.
