How it fits, and how its doesn't.
Maybe it's just me, but it feels like sweats are getting thinner and thinner as the years progress, and this is a good example of "thinner sweats," I remember when the bulk factor for sweats was significant enough to consider what coats and other outerwear you could and couldn't wear with it. With that caveat, not bad. They are thinner than expected, but still can be used in 45 degree morning walks without another layer, as long as you keep moving. The legs were long enough, and the very large was just about the right size for larger hips. But this purchase made me realize WHY some many sweatpants include drawstrings: a good fit at the hips may or may not insure a good fit at the waist. Also, this is another example of what extra large doesn't mean: the length between the crotch and the top of the waist needs to be longer than it is currently. If I wanted that much definition of my groin area, I'd wear skinny jeans, not sweats. They are not as bad as some I've seen, but still, sweats are designed to be loose, not fitted. While I realize that is function of those hips again, still EXTRA LARGE should include extra larger for that area too. 4 stars though because even with those complaints, still wearable, functionable, and useable.
