My (62 year old) husband is kind of picky about the way his clothes fit, so he can be hard to buy for, but he thinks these are comfortable. I purchased the size "L" for his 36" waist, and they are a good size. The fabric is thinner than other higher-end brands, but not so flimsy that I would avoid buying them again. We kind of hate the giant advertising on the waist band, but not a deal breaker.
