Waistband is comfortable, but seems to have shrunk some, but still wearable.  Will get the next size up, when size 36 is restocked.  Material is reasonably soft, and opening is not perfect, but better than many others.  Pretty good support.  Elastic around legs is comfortable.  This is my top choice for now (have tried many others).  Price is also a plus.  I wish they could be found in the stores and more quality places online.
