Product Information

This pair is versatile for a variety of activities, including hiking and walking, but is especially great as a base layer for winter sports. Some styles are very thick and plush for colder temps while others are sleeker and thin for more mild weather. Other styles of Athleta leggings were popular among our testers for being super comfy for exercise, especially skiing or snowboarding. GH pros evaluate shrinkage after laundering, stretch recovery, opacity and moisture-wicking capabilities in the Lab.

The chic look of liquid or faux leather leggings can elevate any outfit, but not all pairs will keep you nice and warm. Testers found this pair to be "generously sized" without digging in or being uncomfortable when exercising. Then there's this Plush pair, with a shiny matte fabric that you can wear out to dinner on winter nights. Moisture management: Using a Moisture Management Tester (MMT), we measure how quickly drops of a sweat-like solution are wicked away on the inside and outside of the fabric. After analysis, GH fiber scientists appreciated the fabrication of this pair with flat seams and convenient zippered pockets, but did note some shrinking after laundering.As the temperature drops, don't say good-bye to all leggings and tights, but instead embrace fleece-lined leggings that'll keep you warm and cozy all winter long. The inside is a thin fleece; the outside is water repellent to protect you and your PR from the winter elements. Washability: Each pair of fleece-lined leggings is washed five times to evaluate any shrinkage or changes in appearance to ensure the leggings can withstand long-term laundering. For starters, they're a great base layer under denim or snow pants: Investing in a pair will protect you from the elements, shielding you from gusts of wind and unexpected flurries.

She’s been at Good Housekeeping for over three years, overseeing Lab and consumer tests for a variety of activewear products, including fleece-lined leggings, workout leggings, sports bras and walking shoes. The thermal fleece-lined fabric helps trap heat while looking like typical maternity leggings from the outside. There are secure zip pockets to keep your keys and credit cards safe on the sides and back, which are bulkier than other picks.

The time and place for fleece-lined leggings is limited to the depths of winter (unless you're cranking the AC to Arctic temperatures). Emma Seymour (she/her) is a senior product analyst at the Good Housekeeping Institute's Textiles, Paper and Apparel Lab, where she has led testing for luggage, pillows, towels, tampons and more since 2018.

Available in three neutral colors, and tall, petite and regular sizing, these leggings are a great addition to your activewear collection. Pilling resistance: Using an abrasion machine (pictured here), swatches of the leggings fabric are rubbed together to see if tiny pills (little balls of fibers) form.

If they're advertised as "fleece-lined" or "brushed interior," this means they'll be warmer because they'll trap heat. In recent tests we tested over 35 different pairs of workout leggings, leading to over 2,380 data points before making these selections.

Although you can't tell by just looking at them, these chic leggings from Plush are completely fleece-lined for a soft, plush feel, as the name suggests. Many leggings designed for winter don't have fleece and are instead just thicker, but they won't be able to keep you as warm. Instead of traditional fleece, Outdoor Voices uses a proprietary "FrostKnit" fabrication that keeps you just as warm for winter outdoor workouts. A fleece legging you'll want to live and lounge in, Haven's can be found in two neutral tones and can pair with matching sweaters for a full set.GH analysts haven't yet tested this exact style, but we have worked out in a variety of styles from 90 Degree by Reflex. The ColdGear Authentic leggings from Under Armour were a top performer in our Lab testing and a favorite among our testers for keeping them extra warm when exercising outdoors (not recommended for extreme temepratures).
