1. Plush Fleece Lined Leggings
2. FP Movement Catch All Fleece Leggings
Reviewer Highlight: "I’m outside all day for work, so I was excited to see these at such a great price. They are thin, but for me, that’s perfect. Warm enough on their own but thin enough to layer over if needed. Extremely stretchy and comfortable. I love them!"
3. Zella Live In High Waist Leggings
Reviewer Highlight: "I've had these for almost a year now, and I cannot say enough good things! I live in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and mostly do outdoor activities in them—rock climbing, scrambling over ridges, running trails—these never fail. They're never too hot; they truly do wick sweat away and never ride down."
4. Skims Cotton Rib Thermal Leggings
5. Alo Airbrush Winter Warm High-Waist Nocturne Legging
6. Quince Merino Wool Cold Weather Base Layer Legging
7. Uniqlo Heattech Leggings
Reviewer Highlight: "I absolutely love this product, and before anyone thinks this is a fake review, it's not. I live in New York City, and it gets extremely cold with below-freezing temperatures, but all I have to wear is these leggings under my clothes, and I'm warm all day! I wear these with a T-shirt, and I'm good to go."
8. Lululemon Fleece High-Rise Running Legging
