Wash easily, wear wellIve had these for about a month and they keep me warm where I work in a cold storage warehouse driving a forklift and motorized pallet jack.Very pleased with my purchase of the Amazon Essentials Men's Performance Stretch Knit Training Pant. They are very comfortable and they fit really well. Would highly recommend them to a friend.Everyone is always looking for something different. So I hope my review can help someone.5'11, 180lbs and I spend a lot of time weight training (power lifting and endurance training), and playing sports year round. I'm looking for versatile pants that look/feel good, stretch, and taper to a fitted style around the ankles.The material is great. It feels a lot like the material of my Adidas Astro pants (my favorite training pants). The material is smooth, pretty light, and provides the right amount of stretch.The fit is a bit baggy for my taste. Reading all the reviews it was impossible for me to understand how these fit. The best I can describe the fit is in 'modern' terms is that it's a Regular fit style. It's not fitted or slim fit. There's a good amount of room in the thighs all the way through the ankle. The length hits just below my ankles so it's about 29-30" long. The size M waist is just slightly looser than other size M athletic pants I own including Nike, UA, Adidas. But it has a drawstring to tighten them.I love the zipper pockets. I don't know if you're like me, but I always find training pant pockets far too shallow.Overall I like these pants a lot and would probably keep them but for one thing: the bottom is simply too loose. This causes a problem if you're running and the bottom moves with your legs, and you can feel the weight of the zipper. At times it'll even hit your ankle.If you're looking for a trainer where you're focused on weight training and prefer the Regular fit style, this would do just great. If you need a trainer that has you moving around a lot, I'd probably consider a different style.Since the temperature outdoors was getting in the 30-40s, I was in the need for some long running pants vs. wearing running shorts. I didn't want anything too heavy or too tight. These seem to be a good fit for that need. The size chart suggested a medium for my build (5'11", 185lbs) but I opted for the large. A good choice since I don't like the tight fit of a lot of running pants nor do I want the baggy look of workout sweats. There is still a lot of stretch to these pants so you don't feel constricted when you do your warm-ups. The material is light in weight so they are not going to be your choice on windy and snowy weather. That being said, they do not feel sweaty on the inside after a long workout either.The stitching is OK. You might feel it chaffing on the inseam leg if you get the smaller size. The waist band fits snug and stays put. The fit on the legs is just right for me (31"). Right on the ankle. I have not had a use for the ankle zippers yet. I like the pocket zippers. No worry about loose items falling out on my run.I have washed these twice already and they appear to have survived with no loose threads. I used warm delicate with hangar dry. By the way, they do dry rather fast due to the thin weight of the material.The only reason I gave these a four star is due to the inner stitching but they are still an excellent choice compared to other brands at a higher price.Very comfortable and size was as expected. A couple of minor stitching shortfalls that I hope won’t cause them to start falling apart.I had looked occasionally over several years for new pants like these without success... until Amazon came through with the best ones ever! The fabric is stretchy and comfortable, the pockets have zippers (keys & phone don't fall out at the gym when lying on a bench for the first time ever), and if you want to tie the drawstring it's on the inside (looks much better) but is thin and comfortable (no huge knot pressing against your belly). I got these in Grey, then immediately bought a Black pair PLUS a backup pair of each. I'm 5'11" about 190lbs, and Large fits me perfectly (wearing them at my desk as I type this). At the same time I bought these, I was desperate to replace worn out pants and also bought a few other brands to try, but they aren't going to get worn much... maybe some Champion ones that are thick so nice for really cold days. Some expensive big-name ones were the worst of all - bizarrely way oversized.I do a lot of walking and I find them very comfortable very happy with them thank youBeing an Amazon range, I wasn't expecting a lot, but they are very good quality for the money.Causing little discomfort on chain..Very good value for the price.Value of money
