These feel good. They're soft & warm. I got a size "L". My waist is aprox 37". They are a slightly snug fit. They're fine at my current weight. I lost around 50 pounds in the last year; they would not have fit before the weight loss; you may want to keep that in mind. Especially with the low price; I'd suggest ordering on the high size side of things. I am writing this before wash/dry cycle; if they shrink I will be changing this a bit.

I'm used to the draw string style; no problems for me there. I like having pockets; the only thing even remotely negative I have to mention is the pockets are a bit thin; they may not be ideal for keys.

This doesn't mean anything positive or negative to me; in case it does to you they are made in Honduras.
