Mountain Hardwear Butter Up™ Tight – Women's Buttery-Soft UPF 50 Base Layer Legging

These are hands down the softest leggings I own, and I own too many. The UPF 50 is a bonus for summer hikes and they stay put without digging in at the waist. Wore them as a base layer under ski pants too and they were perfect.

Super comfortable and true to size. Slightly see-through when stretched, so darker colors are safer.

Hiking, climbing gym, lounging — these do it all. The fabric feels like a second skin and hasn't pilled at all after months of use.

I'm 71 and most leggings either bind at my knees or roll at the waist. These do neither. The buttery fabric is gentle, the waistband stays flat all day, and they're warm enough under hiking pants in fall. Ordering two more pairs before the sale ends.

The fabric is lovely and the UPF claim is why I bought them, but they're thinner than I expected. Great for summer, less so for cold-weather base layering. Know what you're getting.

The anti-odor treatment really works — I've worn these on back-to-back trail days without embarrassment. Squat-proof too.

That's all you need to know. Softest leggings ever and half price.

The fabric is genuinely soft but the waistband rolls down on me constantly during hikes, which drives me nuts. Might work better on a different body type.

I packed these for a two-week trip to Utah's national parks and they were the most-worn item in my bag. Quick to wash and dry overnight, sun protection I didn't have to think about, and they look polished enough for dinner in town. The stretch is excellent for scrambling up slickrock.

Bought on sale with low expectations and they've become my daily drivers. Would like a pocket but otherwise excellent.
