These are my first CRZ Yoga Butterluxe leggings, and I'd say they hold up to the positive reviews I've seen on YouTube. These leggings are very soft and stretchy. I'm 5'5" and about 135-140 lbs and the size Small 25" fit me perfectly as expected (true to size). They have light compression (with the most compression felt in the supportive but comfy waist). There is no top seam so no pinching at the waist, and although there is a front seam, it didn't cause any issues. The two leg pockets are decent-sized - enough to fit most of my bulky phone but not cover it completely.
I really like the Petrol Blue color I bought and the color was true to the product photos, though maybe a tiny bit darker in person. The fabric is brushed and matte and is said to be similar to the Nulu fabric used in the Lululemon Align leggings, although I can't confirm that since I usually stick with other fabrics at Lululemon. I washed my leggings once so far and I don't see any pilling or wear and tear on the fabric, although as with all brushed leggings of this type, I'd say you should be careful to not run velcro or other abrasive things on these leggings. It happened accidentally to me in one spot, but I was easily able to make it good-as-new again with a fabric shaver.
The top of the leggings end right above my bellybutton and they do NOT slide down, even if you aren't sweating. This is awesome because with some leggings, you have to work up a sweat before they stick and stay up. You do see some sweat on this fabric, but it isn't egregious, at least in this color. The fabric feels breathable and I was comfortably able to do a dumbbell HIIT workout in them as well as wear them casually. I feel like they are just the right level of thickness, so they aren't too thick for summer (when I'm writing this).Overall, I'm eager to try more stuff from the CRZ Yoga Butterluxe line!
