These pants are a bit light in terms of fabric in that they do the trick in warmer climates, but you will be cold in Winter wearing these pants. They come out of the dryer ready to wear, but do wrinkle somewhat easily when you sit down. They are true to size and the expandable waist is wonderful. I found the belt loops a bit awkward, however, as two or three are not what I was used to due to the expandable waist.
