Sweat pants with pockets - what a concept! In the past I had to purchase mens sweats to get the pockets - and the length - but of course they didn't quite fit right. These are perfection! They're medium weight and very soft, they sit just below the waist (they certainly don't feel like they'll fall off and the fit is much more flattering than if they came up higher) and best of all, they are long enough so I can actually put them in the dryer! I ordered the XL because I like my sweats a little loose - my inseam is 31.5" and these out of the box are around 34", which means I don't have to worry about them shrinking too much. In fact, I may have to get them hemmed, but that's a good problem to have for me. I'm so tired of having to hang dry my sweats - they are so much softer out of the dryer. I got my first two pairs in the medium gray and have already ordered 2 more pair in blue...gotta get 'em while I can!
