I was so excited for Kingz to release new women's spats. These are almost perfect! These spats are pretty thick. They're not typical dry-fit type material, so it feels like they are going to hold up for a while in no-go. The waist band is super high almost 3inches with a drawstring. The band is so thick and snug, you almost don't need the drawstring, and I might even pull mine out. I took a comp class in these and they didn't slide down one bit! As for how the waist band is shaped, it folds and rolls down under the material. Once you hike the bad boys up you can feel the waist banded rolled up and folded under the spat material. It takes quite a bit to manipulate it, so it will stay flat against your waist. Once it's situated, it does stay in place, but if you have to go to the restroom before class or between rolls, you have to start the process all over again. All in all, good material, no chance of them sliding down during rolls, I just wish the waist band was sewn in differently.
