"My baby and my toddler have 2 pairs each of these trousers and they don't really need anything else. We just rotate their two pairs about 80% of the time throughout most of the winter, autumn and spring. For example, my daughter wears these by themselves as trousers most days. In the winter she wears thin wool/silk leggings underneath if she's going outside. In the spring she often wears them under dresses and just takes them off and goes bare-legged if she gets too warm. They really are incredibly versatile.
These leggings are water resistant (even more so after a lanolin soak), the majority of dirt brushes off easily, and they are wearable throughout the seasons due to being so highly breathable and temperature regulating. They very rarely need washing and can recover from almost anything with a good airing outside. All this makes them incredibly practical. My children have gone down wet slides, sat on the floor of swimming pool changing rooms and lay down in wet sandpits without these leggings even seeming to notice. Once, s had an accident at preschool wearing them and her teacher was so confused about why she was standing in a puddle with soaking wet underwear, yet her trousers remained completely dry.
The only negative points are that they pill quite significantly to start off with, and need regular shaving to keep them looking nice. This does get better eventually. They also bag a bit after a while, but that doesn't really bother me."
This was washed... had to be careful
This was worn by... My son (8 months) and daughter (2.5 years)
Sizing: A little generous
I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.
