ChampionWomen's Open-Bottom Fleece Sweatpants, Standard Fit, Midweight
N**T
I've been buying these since 2019...
I've been buying these sweatpants since 2019, in sizes medium and large (I'm 5' 6", approx 145 lbs), and in all colors. I now own more than one pair of each color in both of those sizes (I told you I had a lot). I pretty much live in them in the colder months here in New York. They always fit me better than any other sweatpants, The mediums fit how you would say is "a perfect fit", and the large are quite roomy on me, which is a whole different look that I also like. Some days you just want a big old baggy pair of sweatpants! These pants wear and launder well, and last a long time, still looking and feeling great. I still wear every single pair I own, and they are all still EXTREMELY comfortable. In their natural state, they are high rise, and I wear them that way, and also often roll the top over. There's ample room to do that without causing the crotch to rise up too much or give a muffin top. They do tend to get pilling on the inner thighs with wear, but that's pretty normal with cotton sweatpants. The biggest criticism that I have of them is the inconsistency in inseam length. Usually they're between 31 and 32 in, which is great for me, with sneakers on, but other times they are 33 in, and then the worst (for me), is when they're only 30 in. There doesn't seem to be much quality control in that regard. Also they sometimes fit slightly different in other areas, but that's rarely been a real issue for me. The slight differences don't tend to affect them still looking good, and it never affects comfort in the least.So it's now 2024, and here I am to buy yet a couple more pairs for the new season. I ordered one in dark gray and one in light gray, both size medium.For anyone who has ordered these in the past, and is back to buy more (although those people probably aren't even reading the reviews), of note, is that the style has changed from previous years. The trim on the pockets is different (I think I like it more), and the top of the light gray sweatpants used to have a lighter colored band at the top, which I loved, and that's no longer like that. Now they're the same color from top to bottom, but that's no biggie. Also, and time will tell, but it seems like MAYBE the inner thigh area is pilling faster (after just one wear), but I don't know that I ever closely looked at them after one wear before. I just happened to notice it today when I was measuring the inseams. That's not a big deal to me, but I just hope that other areas don't significantly pill now, because that's never been an issue in the past. I will try to remember to come back here and update my review when I have worn them more.I really do love the way the new-style, light gray pair fits me. The inseam is 32 in, and they're actually one of the most flattering I've ever had of these, so after trying them on, I was so happy that I got them in dark gray too. I was hopeful that the inseam issue would no longer be a thing with the new style, until I tried them on. They turned out to have only a 30-in inseam, and were also one of those rare pairs that fits me poorly in other areas.At times like this, the dilemma always is, do I return the ill-fitting pair and try for another, hoping that the replacement pair will fit better?Overall I still give them five stars, but if this updated style proves to not wear as well, etc, again, I will certainly try to remember to come back and update.That's my two cents, or in this case, maybe more like 20 cents.

Fit Great! I Sized Down!
Love these women's Champion straight leg Power Blend sweat pants! They are 60% polyester and 40% cotton. They are a nice medium weight fleece inside. They will be perfect for our cool summers and even winter, because we wear long underwear underneath them in the winter in this part of the country. They are made in El Salvador. They also have pockets, which I don't usually care about, but these pockets lie nice and smoothly.I have tried so many brands of sweats in the past. Some are too large and baggy. Some shrink too much. I usually wear a size 12 in jeans or cords. That is a medium in most size charts. I have lost 15 pounds since last year, and my legs are naturally very thin and long anyway. I am 5'6" and 145 lbs. I decided that I would take the risk and order the black, dark gray, and light gray in size small. They fit just perfect! I knew the legs and hips in a small would fit me, but I was concerned about the waist. The waist is both elastic and has a draw string. The size chart says small will stretch to accommodate a 26.5" waist. My waist is 32", and I have absolutely no problem getting them on. They are very comfortable. The inseam measures exactly 31". Size medium would have been huge on me. I like them the way they fit now. I intend to wash my sweats on cold and either air dry or hang to dry. I do that with some of my other clothing too.We all have different sizing issues and body shapes. If you are on the thin side, you might want to size down if you don't like baggy pants. However, if you do not like taking a little extra care of your sweats by washing on cold and air drying, then you may want to order your usual size. I am retired and have the time available to fuss a little more with my clothing now. These pants definitely get 5 stars from me!

Comfort and value
I bought each color in small. While they are a bit long, I found when washed and dried first time they do shrink a bit. I did shorten one pair one inch, not hard to do. I am extremely pleased with this style. I am 5’4” and weigh about 132 and the small fits well. These don’t stretch out but like all fleece, you can manually stretch where needed in length. I love that they have a perfect straight leg from thigh to bottom. Excellent Champion product! And I have no piling.

Thick
These are what you imagine when you think of sweatpants!!! They keep me warm and comfortable when it's down to 30 degrees, add some wool knee highs and it can be a little colder before I get chilly. I have arthritis and catch a chill pretty easily so to me that says alot. The fit is amazing which for me is very rare as most pants will hit my ribs before they fit well everywhere else.

The pants were tooo long. Would need to cut fabric off the bottom of the legs.
Bought these in my normal size - large. They are much too long. I'm 5'6" I'm not tall but I'm defintely not short. I'd need to cut quite a bit of fabric off the end of the pants to make them short enough for me. I didn't particularly like the fabric. The brushed fleece is a lightweight fabric, I expected it to be warmer. It's not for cold weather. For sometime not winter they'd be fine, if they weren't too long. The color is nice. I was looking for something to wear now, in my NY winters. Other than the size they are nice pants. The price was good.
