Are these good for high-impact workouts?

They are better for walking, yoga and everyday wear. The relaxed knit gives little compression, so runners who want firm support may prefer a tighter legging.

Do the pockets hold a phone?

Yes. The two side pockets are sized for a phone, keys or a card, and reviewers say items stay put during light activity.

What is the inseam and length?

The inseam is 27 inches, which gives a full-length fit that covers the ankle on most wearers.

How does ButterCore fabric feel?

It is brushed and soft, closer to a cottony knit than a slick compression fabric. It wicks moisture but is not sheer-proof under strong stretch.

How should I care for them?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Washing inside out and skipping fabric softener helps limit pilling on the soft knit.

Our take on the Athletic Works Women's Plus ButterCore Athletic Leggings with Pockets, High Rise

These are full-length plus-size leggings from Athletic Works with a high-rise waist, a pull-on elastic waistband and two side pockets. The ButterCore fabric is brushed to feel soft against the skin and is moisture-wicking, so they work for workouts and all-day wear. The 27-inch inseam gives an ankle-covering length. Against pricier plus athletic leggings, they trade compression and a wide size run for softness, pockets and a relaxed fit. Buyers rate them 4.6 out of 5 across more than 1,600 ratings, with comfort and the pockets the most common praise.
