On this page
Fit and sizing
The page lists 11 sizes from XXS to 6XL and three inseams: 23.75 inch, 28 inch and 31 inch. That combination makes it one of the few options for plus, petite and tall shoppers. The page says nothing about a rise measurement, though the name says high-rise. The page shows that some recent reviews criticize fit and fabric consistency, so read the newest reviews before ordering.
Fabric and feel
The brand describes the Compressive fabric as smoothing and sculpting, with a double-sided brushed finish, matte look, sweat-wicking and four-way stretch. The high-rise page lists no fiber percentages; the brand's pocket legging page for the same fabric lists 79% recycled PET (RPET) and 21% spandex. These are brand claims, not independently verified. The page makes no squat-proof or opacity claim. Firm compression fabrics tend to resist show-through, but check the specific color.
How it performs for lifting and everyday wear
The brand claims maximum hold and support for high-intensity activities. A firm, matte compression legging is a good gym choice. A recent review on the sister pocket legging says the compression felt weaker than past orders, so quality may vary. There are no pockets here; see the Compressive Pocket if you need them.
Price and value
At $108, it is mid-to-premium. The page labels it final sale, and the brand's rating is 4.7 from about 18,500 reviews, although some recent reviews criticize value. For a similar size range with a lower price, the Fabletics PowerHold is about $85 non-member.
Alternatives
For a squat-proof claim and phone pockets, see the pocket version. For a soft feel, see the Athleta Elation. For a cheaper compressive option, see the Gymshark New Whitney. Our best plus-size leggings page covers more.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a soft or loose feel, pockets, or an easy return policy on a final-sale item.

The verdict
A compressive legging with an unusually wide size and length range, backed by recycled fabric claims from the brand. Buy it if you are in extended sizes, petite or tall and want firm hold. Skip it if you want pockets, a soft feel, or a non-final-sale purchase, and read recent reviews about consistency first.
