Recycled High Rise Sport Legging

I am a distance runner, and wear leggings often. I train outdoors. I am thin and light for a guy, and I like a silky-soft, simple, and smooth legging, and prefer not having pockets. The fabric of these is very nice, soft with a pretty sheen. Some leggings are soft, but not silky-soft, and these have that nice silky-soft fabric. They seem to stay put, and move well, but the waistband is too thick, making it feel out of balance with the rest of the legging. I have not run with them in warmer weather, but I imagine that the waistband will not be ideal for that, either. I am 5’6” and about 125 pounds, and I usually wear a size S and the size S fits well in these. This is a good quality legging, but the price is on the higher side and a thinner waistband would likely make this a 5-star pair.
