Like the fact they have the back elastic, however they are drawstring all the way around which negates the elastic if you implement the use of the drawstring at all. Not exactly what I was looking for, and a bit of a let down. They do seem a little bit big for a size medium, though a small wouldn't be big enough. The fabric feels kind of stiff (maybe a few washings/wearings will break it in). They are SUPER long on me (I am 5'2") and need to have about 3.5" hemmed on these, which is a big surprise since the size description says the inseam should be 30in.
For the price they will do.
