My elderly brother is wheelchair bound in a nursing home. He may be sitting, but he still needs pants. These are what I purchase for him. According to him, he is comfortable, warm, looks good, and gets good wear from them (even on the seat). So whether you are jogging down the street, or watching t.v., these should do the job. I'd wear them all the time myself, but with all the stuff I carry with me all the time (phone, Leatherman, etc.) they would be wrapped around my ankles.
