Russell Athletic Mens Dri Power Fleece Elastic Bottom Sweatpants Relaxed Fit Moisture Wicking with or Without Pockets

I am tall at 6'5". I wanted a traditional pair of sweat pants that are roomy and comfortable. Most sweatpants made these days are tight fitting even with a standard fit, and it was almost impossible to find a relaxed/loose fit pair of sweatpants. I have been on a mission trying to find a pair that is roomy in the thigh area and not too tapered in the legs. I purchased a variety of brands in-store at other retailers and online. I unfortunately did not keep any, and I was getting discouraged on finding a pair I like. I came across these on Amazon, and when I got them, I have to say I was extremely pleased! The leg length is a bit longer than most which fit my inseam at 6'5" with a bit extra so I don't have to worry about them being too short or worry about losing much after washing. They are the roomiest I have tried and are extremely comfortable to move around in. They don't hug your legs and thighs. I have found my favorite pair of sweats! I mostly wear these to lounge in or something quick to put on when running an errand. And since they are a 50/50 blend, washing them per the instructions will not have much affect on any shrinkage. So I will not lose hardly any length (it also helps that they are made with a bit more length than any other brands I have tried) or overall fit. SHOUT OUT TO RUSSELL!!! Great fit, great quality, and great value for the money! NOTE: this review is for the size L. They also have a good selection of colors, I got the Navy and Oxford Gray colors. Read more

I moved from my Champion ones because these looked like a much better deal, and I immediately liked them more because they fit better. I'm 6'1", 185# with strong legs, etc., ordered large, and these fit and look better, not being as full-cut or baggy as my aging Champions always were. I ordered one gray one and then another one right after I washed and wore the first one. I just put some on, heading for the gym, and thought of writing a review. I also prefer the more subtle Russell labeling, but that is a matter of taste. We'll see if these last as long, but Russell has also worked well for me for a long time. Meanwhile, they're already an excellent feel, look, and value! Read more

After 2 wearings and a wash, half of the cord that is sewn into the back seam came apart. As I have done with older sweats I had to cut a hole at the rear seam, re-thread the half that came out, cut the other side and tie the two sides together...Like they probably should be, so the tie goes al the way around your waist. Other than that they fit well and are very comfortable. Read more

2xl Fit. I really like them. I am 250 pounds 5'10 with and wear a 50" waist in Wrangler loose fit jeans. Fit is great though a little snug at waist but still enough room. Many would consider just right for lounging. If you wanted loose I would order 3xl. I am happy with 2xl as I have been loosing wieght and these will be perfect very soon. note I haven't washed them yet. Read more

Ordered the sweatpants with pockets (every one needs pockets) for a relative. They're a good value, fit well, study and not thin. Read more

These Sweatpants are really nice. Well stitched and warm. However, the waist band elastic isn't very strong. I'm a big guy and always worry that sweats will be too tight. But these, in spite of pulling the string tight, don't want to stay up. I'm constantly having to keep pulling them up. Again, very comfortable but wish the waistband elastic was more snug. Cant wear them outside obviously but they'll work for stay at home days. Read more

I love the length of these sweatpants!! They are a little tighter in the seat than other sweatpants but they are still comfortable. I love that they don’t have pockets!!! Thin sweatpants. They are not thick, more a summer type of sweatpants vs winter. So I don’t know how long they will last or the quality of the fabric. Read more

These Sweatpants are a favorite for my husband. The fabric is soft yet sturdy, offering both comfort and durability, and the moisture-wicking keeps him dry during workouts or lounging around the house. The closed-bottom design and convenient pockets make these sweatpants practical for everyday use, whether running errands, exercising, or relaxing. The fit is true to size, providing a relaxed yet flattering silhouette that doesn’t feel bulky. Compared to other sweatpants on Amazon, these stand out for their combination of comfort, performance, and quality. They maintain their shape and color even after repeated washes, which is something my husband really appreciates. Overall, the Russell Athletic Dri-Power Sweatpants are well-made, comfortable, and versatile, making them a reliable wardrobe staple. They're appropriately thick and great value for money. Read more
