This is the best of several pairs of Gildan fleece pants that I've tried lately. But I have other sweatpants that I like a lot better, so I'm giving these 3 stars. If you're looking for a relatively low price and can't wait for a sale, these are an acceptable choice. Years ago, I bought some 55% cotton/ 45% polyester "Simply for Sports" brand sweatpants from JCPenney that have lasted forever. JCP discontinued them and I've tried one brand after another trying to duplicate the quality and fit. So far, I've been unsuccessful and increasingly frustrated. After trials of several styles and sizes of Gildan sweats, I am now giving up on the Gildan brand.
