I ordered Amazon Core 10 "build your own" leggings in a high-waisted style.Celia Fernandez / Insider
Amazon's own activewear brand, Core 10, sells leggings that have customizable waistbands, lengths, styles, and colors.
I bought a pair of the Core 10 black high-waisted yoga pants for $44.
My favorite part about the yoga pants is that the back pocket fits my iPhone 11 Pro or a cardholder, which makes them great for running errands.
After wearing the leggings to walk my dog, around the house, and on a 14-mile bike ride, I found that they're comfortable for everyday wear and are great at wicking moisture.

At first, I was skeptical about the "build your own" leggings concept and expected a difficult journey that involved spending a lot of time taking measurements.
The Core 10 leggings are part of Amazon's own activewear brand.

I examined the size guide and took into account the leggings' stretchy fabric.
The leggings are available in sizes XS to 3X.

After deciding on the XL size, I looked at what fit type I wanted to get.
The leggings are available in three different waist styles.

My first impression was that the leggings were stretchy and ultra-thick.
The product description states the leggings are made with 12% spandex, which means they have a good amount of stretch.

The moment I put on the leggings, I knew I was going to love them.
The leggings feel great, but I could have gone down a size.

The best design feature has to be the back pocket, which is big enough to fit my iPhone 11 Pro.
The back pocket is so handy.

I decided to put the leggings to the ultimate test by wearing them on a 14-mile bike ride.
Taking the leggings on a bike ride showed me just how versatile they are.

While the leggings are a little too heavy for summer weather, I would buy another pair because I love the look, feel, and back pocket.
After washing the leggings, I realized that they will need to be lint-rolled whenever I wear them.
