These pants are SUPER comfortable. I can often wear either a medium or a large, and I'm glad I went up to a large on this one. They're soft and not at all constricting. The only thing I don't like is the tie at the hips. It's not necessary (there's elastic in the waistband), and I don't like that it's not stretchy. It's annoying to have to untie it anytime I want to go to the bathroom or something. I usually end up just leaving it untied, which doesn't look as good, but is more comfortable.
