Most of my previous 'workout pants' either eventually tore at the crotch or shrunk too much after a few washes. The material has a net/mesh feel to it and stretches just enough when you're working on something like an inclined press (legs wide apart). Don't think they'll tear with normal use. Yet to run them through a washer/dryer cycle so dunno if & how much they're going to shrink. Plain black all the way down, no stripes or other designs except a small logo.

Update : They do shrink if you run them through the dryer. However, if you run them only through the washer and hang them up to dry the first once or twice and then start running them through the dryer, they don't. I've been using this regularly over the last 6 months and it has held up well.
