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.

Almost What I was looking for

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2021

Size: MediumColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Everyone is always looking for something different. So I hope my review can help someone.

5'11, 180lbs and I spend a lot of time weight training (power lifting and endurance training), and playing sports year round. I'm looking for versatile pants that look/feel good, stretch, and taper to a fitted style around the ankles.

The material is great. It feels a lot like the material of my Adidas Astro pants (my favorite training pants). The material is smooth, pretty light, and provides the right amount of stretch.

The fit is a bit baggy for my taste. Reading all the reviews it was impossible for me to understand how these fit. The best I can describe the fit is in 'modern' terms is that it's a Regular fit style. It's not fitted or slim fit. There's a good amount of room in the thighs all the way through the ankle. The length hits just below my ankles so it's about 29-30" long. The size M waist is just slightly looser than other size M athletic pants I own including Nike, UA, Adidas. But it has a drawstring to tighten them.

I love the zipper pockets. I don't know if you're like me, but I always find training pant pockets far too shallow.

Overall I like these pants a lot and would probably keep them but for one thing: the bottom is simply too loose. This causes a problem if you're running and the bottom moves with your legs, and you can feel the weight of the zipper. At times it'll even hit your ankle.

If you're looking for a trainer where you're focused on weight training and prefer the Regular fit style, this would do just great. If you need a trainer that has you moving around a lot, I'd probably consider a different style.

Good value

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019

Size: XX-LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I was looking to replace a very old pair of Sporthill XC ski pants. The XL pair I ordered from Sporthill was a little too small and the next size up would have been too long, so thought I'd give these a try...

Ankle zippers - check
zippered pockets - check
Nice relaxed fit - check
Reflective - check

I would say the only area where they don't match up is that the fabric isn't quite as beefy so I don't think they'll be as warm. I'm willing to accept that trade-off considering they're about 1/3 the price of the Sporthill nomads.

Good Running Pants

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2020

Size: LargeColor: Charcoal HeatherVerified Purchase

Since the temperature outdoors was getting in the 30-40s, I was in the need for some long running pants vs. wearing running shorts. I didn't want anything too heavy or too tight. These seem to be a good fit for that need. The size chart suggested a medium for my build (5'11", 185lbs) but I opted for the large. A good choice since I don't like the tight fit of a lot of running pants nor do I want the baggy look of workout sweats. There is still a lot of stretch to these pants so you don't feel constricted when you do your warm-ups. The material is light in weight so they are not going to be your choice on windy and snowy weather. That being said, they do not feel sweaty on the inside after a long workout either.
The stitching is OK. You might feel it chaffing on the inseam leg if you get the smaller size. The waist band fits snug and stays put. The fit on the legs is just right for me (31"). Right on the ankle. I have not had a use for the ankle zippers yet. I like the pocket zippers. No worry about loose items falling out on my run.
I have washed these twice already and they appear to have survived with no loose threads. I used warm delicate with hangar dry. By the way, they do dry rather fast due to the thin weight of the material.
The only reason I gave these a four star is due to the inner stitching but they are still an excellent choice compared to other brands at a higher price.

Good value and appearance - snug around waist

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2020

Size: MediumColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I ordered these pants size Medium based on the "generic" size guide from Amazon which said waist size for Medium was 32-34". I am 5' 10" 162 lbs. My waist is 33-34" and the paints fit fine except the waist was a bit snug and I "hung over the edges".

I prefer a slightly loose waist and I use drawstrings to customize. Unfortunately size Large was not available so I had to return the product w/o exchange and I had to shop a different brand. I do like zip pockets and zips on the bottom to make it easy to put on over workout running shoes. I found Under Armour's Pique track pants seemed to do the job with similar design, albeit for about $10 more.

Nice, cheap dri-fit sweats.

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2021

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

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.

Good overall pants

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020

Size: X-LargeColor: Charcoal HeatherVerified Purchase

Like the other reviews said, this is a good set of pants. They are comfortable and fit me well. I am a larger guy and the XL size fit like other workout pants that I have. I am just not a huge fan of the fabric used. It just seems little lightweight to me. The zippers on the pockets was something that I was excited about. I like the idea of jogging with my phone in my pocket, secured by the zippers. However, on my second time wearing them, I think that unzipped a little too far and the zipper came off. It's not a big deal but it is something to think about if you are going to buy one.

Comfy pants

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2020

Size: MediumColor: Bright BlueVerified Purchase

Overall I like these. I have a hard time finding these sort of lounge/athletic pants. I’m 5’11 about 195lbs and found a medium fit well. The material is lightweight, one issue guys may want to know about, it leaves nothing to the imagination when it comes to penis outline (vpl I think they call it)

They run large and baggy for me

They look great and they've got a good weight for warmer spring months. I found them baggy for my 6'2", 38 frame. They sit in the closet.

We love these pants. Our problem is for the second time , second pair the zippers in the lower leg area keep breaking. It would be nice to have a section to just tell the seller. Please advise

Very comfortable and size was as expected. A couple of minor stitching shortfalls that I hope won’t cause them to start falling apart.
