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

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

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

Soft, comfortable sweatpants, and the fabric is a good thickness. Somewhat baggy, but overall I would say they fit true to size. Good quality for the price. Read more

They fit perfect Read more

Soft, comfortable sweatpants, but they seem to have a flaw where the left pocket rips out easily. This isn’t the fist time it’s happened to me with this brand, but definitely the first time the pocket ripped out after only two weeks of use. 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

Awesome value and well put together. Exactly what I would expect from this company still great after all these years. My only complaint is, I wish they were looser fitting. I ordered my waist size and they fit good but not as loose as preferred. I’m worried they might shrink a little in the dryer. I will mostly use for the home lounging. I think they would be a good substitute for baseball pants. If anyone is considering a pair, order up one or two sizes for looser fit. They have a drawstring in the waistband which should help with sizes. Read more
