Washing and Durability

Pros:

• "Subsequent washes do not add anymore shrinkage and they remain well shaped and very soft."
• "One pair has been laundered 4 times and wash/dry wonderfully."
• "I read some reviews that said these fleece lined sweats shed like crazy. Sorry to disappoint them. I washed mine and they washed beautifully. No shedding, no wrinkles."

Cons:

• "So when you wash them probably don't use tumble dryer or if you going to use it then just order your normal size if you think it is bigger than usual don't return because after washing & drying they will be your normal size."
• "These pants are true to fit and are very comfortable and soft. The fleece lining is not too heavy."
• "These pants were very inexpensive and look and feel like it. You get what you pay for!"
• "Although these pants are warm and comfortable, as previous reviewers have noted, they SHRINK significantly in the length after the first wash."
• "These shrink even after following care instructions. They're soft and comfortable but not with the money if they don't last."
• "I had to immediately mend a pocket in two places, the fabric shrank substantially in length and linted horribly for months."
• "However, they shrunk about 3-4 inches in length after three washings."

Design and Features

Pros:

• "The pockets can hold a cellphone when walking or standing, but will eventually slide out when sitting or jogging. I wish the pockets are deeper—2 inch deeper would have been great."
• "They have pockets that are more than vestigial."
• "I love that they have pockets and are straight legged, don’t look like regular sweatpants."
• "Comfortable sweatpants that actually keep me warm, have pockets, and a drawstring waist."
• "I've had such a hard time finding sweatpants that aren't so much longer than I need that I always have to hem them. I'm 5 feet 1 inches. These are perfect."
• "These are comfortable and didn't shrink after they were washed."
• "Great for around the house, but they look and fit nice so I will definitely wear out to grocery shop or go out for coffee."

Cons:

• "I really like the fit of these sweatpants. These pants are not a 'relaxed' fit like most sweatpants; they are like a slimmer fit."
• "The way the pockets are sewn in makes the hip area very bulky."
• "The waist band lies flat and there is nothing to irritate the skin."
• "I do wish the waistband wasn't so wide. I'd be happier with a 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide waistband."
• "The rise seams are odd on my pair. The rear seam wants to pull left and the front seam wants to pull right."
• "The terry lining sheds but that's to be expected."
• "The pants are a little on the heavy side, which is great for winter."
