I would say these pants are a little coarser feeling than than a jersey material, light weight and comfortable. Only problem I had with them was shrinkage. I lost about an inch in length and they were snug fitting after the first wash. I didn't put them in the dryer either so shrinkage could be worse if you did. I still like the pants but I wish companies would make more lightweight pants similar to these with a little better fabric, there isn't much to choose from. So if you are less than 5'7 and you don't mind your pants right at the ankle, these are a fair deal.
