The pant material is JERSEY not FLEECE.  Order the fleece sweat pants, if you want something heavy to keep warm outdoors in cold climates.  Order these jersey pants, if you want a light workout pant that allows maximum freedom of movement with some ability to wick the perspiration from your skin.  I wear these while exercising at the health club.  The texture of the fabric is difficult to describe.  It is the weight of a heavy t-shirt cotton, but with a hard finish for durability.  These pants are better at keeping one dry during an intense workout then the old fashion heavy weight fleece sweat pants.

I have ordered these pants from Amazon on three separate occasions.  Yes the pants are a little large, but they are suppose to be for freedom of movement.

May 2013 UPDATE:
Rating on this order  * * *

The quality of the materials in my latest order of this item has changed.  The elastic waist band is constructed of thinner/flimsy material and the pant material seems slightly thinner.  I am hoping this is a one time problem, because this is/was a nice product.  I can tell the pants in this order will not last long.  The pant in this current order barely deserve 3 stars.
