I really like my pants.  The polar fleece is very dense and warm.  I use the pants when I walk the dogs on cold mornings, and the fleece is thicker than other fleece pants that I own.  There are two things that would make these pants better.  First, I'm only 5'4" tall, and I'm going to have to have these pants shortened.  I have never had to have pants shortened, but these are way too long to wear with tennis shoes/ flip flops.  The second fix is the drawstring.  The drawstring has too much elastic to be useful.  A quick change out for something less stretchy and all will be good.  Overall, these are great.  I'm sure I'll like them better once they are the right length for me.
