These turned out to be very nylon and shiny - looked too much like I could have gotten them from American Apparel. Returned them.

So i bought this leggings because all my old ones looked completely worn out. I knew I definitely wanted to go for a zipped one, since to me a leggings then suddenly seem a bit closer to being pants (or at least to look as if they were)... The fabric was not like what i expected. I had expected a matte tissue. However the leggings in "black licorice" turns out to be shiny and super sleek (A bit as you would expect your gym leggings to look like). HOWEVER, even though it is not what i expected, i really like them and they are super comfy and have a great fit (during winter i like to wear tights underneath). I can totally recommend - also given that they work great together with jumpers that contain rabbit hair / angora since that stuff doesnt stick to it as it probably would to other leggings!
