Surprisingly Good Quality!

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2019

These pants are great! I was a little hesitant on the Amazon brand for clothing but they were a nice surprise. They feel like a nice quality and look great. Price seemed too good to be true. I highly recommend!

For reference, I am 150 lb/68 kg and 5'6" and they fit just right and were not baggy and loose. My wife loves how I look in them. They have enough stretch that I can use them in the gym. The material has enough breathability that I would use them for running in cooler weather. I typically use them as my post swim work-out pants to get warm. I usually just hang dry my clothing from the wash so I'm not sure of the long-term effects of the wash on them. These have been my go to lifting pants.

Really wanted to like these, but too short

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2019

I'm ~6' and I tried both the Medium and Large (since typically Medium fit me well). I like the style and the zippered pockets are really nice (and the zippers on the ankles are good to). However, both the Medium and Large were just too short (and going from Medium to Large only made the waist bigger with no increase in length). Sadly I'll have to keep searching for loose fitting workout pants that have zippered pockets and aren't too short.

I tried 5 pairs of exercise pants

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Other pants were either too heavy, too stretchy, far too long(Peak Velocity) and they all fit too snuggly in Medium. I am 5'8" tall and weigh 172 pounds. I first ordered this pant in a Medium, As I have always worn Medium, and it was too tight in the waist. I ordered it in Large and the fit is perfect. I have now ordered 3 more pair Because it was so Difficult to find the Correct fabric and fit. I will rotate them and they will last for many years.
These will be year-round in the gym in Southern California.

Disappointing Fit

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

There's a lot to like about these tights but the fit is unsatisfactory. I bought size large and they fit OK at the waist, excellent through the seat and thigh, but they are too tight in the calves. In addition, the inseam is a bit short; I normally wear a 32 or 33-inch inseam but these hit me just above the ankle. Combine the tight fight below the knee with the short inseam and they tend to ride up during workouts.

Great deal for standard gym pants

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2019

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Good gym pants with zippered pockets and skippered ankles. Material wicks away moisture and stay dry. So how good are they? Well, my last pair of gym pants I purchased were Asics and they ran me around $65. These are about 95% as good. The only reason I'd take off 5% is that they don't fit exactly "right" for me, but the Asics I purchased were retail and I tried on 3 or 4 different brands pants till I found one just right. The pants I purchased here were the Large size and I'm 30" inseam and these seem ideal for a 31" inseam- no big deal) For sight unseen and for $20? I'll order another pair and consider my self ahead of the game.

Disappointed in fit

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2020

At this price, I really thought it would be something different. Instead it is basicaly a cheap pair, and only has a string around the waste, which is hard to adjust.

I ordered them because of the zippered pockets, but forget carrying anything heavy in the pockets, your pants will fall off.

Unfortunately I tried to give them a chance and wore them too much to return. They really aren't worth the money, probably should be $9.99. The string around the middle just doesn't do it.

Overall, I have been pleased with "Amazon Essentials, but these just don't do it

The best gym (and around-the-house) pants!

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2021

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I had looked occasionally over several years for new pants like these without success... until Amazon came through with the best ones ever! The fabric is stretchy and comfortable, the pockets have zippers (keys & phone don't fall out at the gym when lying on a bench for the first time ever), and if you want to tie the drawstring it's on the inside (looks much better) but is thin and comfortable (no huge knot pressing against your belly). I got these in Grey, then immediately bought a Black pair PLUS a backup pair of each. I'm 5'11" about 190lbs, and Large fits me perfectly (wearing them at my desk as I type this). At the same time I bought these, I was desperate to replace worn out pants and also bought a few other brands to try, but they aren't going to get worn much... maybe some Champion ones that are thick so nice for really cold days. Some expensive big-name ones were the worst of all - bizarrely way oversized.

Nice, cheap dri-fit sweats.

I will probably order more of these. The zipper bottom keeps them from dragging on the ground when you have short legs. Appreciate the elastic and drawstring waist.

My pair was delivered with a faulty (split) pocket zipper, but I was able to zip the parts back togeher and add a few stiches to keep the zipper from unzipping too far. Zippers are very light plastic.

Leg length is far too short - poor design

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Good pants but far too short. I’m 6’2” tall and the large size sits 4” above the ankle. I cannot imagine they fit anyone over 5’6” as I’m wearing them pretty low at the waist to try and compensate. Inside leg looks to be around 30” at best. I need a 34” inside leg but can handle 32”. Not even close for these pants. Poor fit.
