Hanes Women's SoftSweats Fleece Cinched Bottom Pant

These are really comfy and not super thick and stuffy or too thin either. The length fit me just fine, the waist is a little high they are defensive not low rise. I ordered the medium that I usually wear and to account for aome shrinking through the wash. The medium was a little bigger than expected though. I am 5’ 2” and currently 143 lbs. and I definitely could have gotten a small. The picture attached shows a side shot of me holding out the waist without any effort at all. I am ordering some other colors but will order small instead.

Runs ridiculously large. The Hanes size chart says XL fits a 32-34" waist, yet when I measured, the waistband is actually 42" wide, and would fit a 42-44" waist. There is no drawstring, just a 2 inch wide elastic band. The hip measures 52", inseam is 30", outseam is 40". The ankle is loosely cinched with elastic, leaving a 13" opening. The Navy Heather color is pretty, like that of faded denim. The fabric is between thin and medium weight. I'd call these 'just okay' for $6-8 sweatpants, but because the sizing deviates so far from the chart, I can only give 2 stars. I bought these expecting a generally comfortable fit, only to find the waist 10 inches too wide... so big they wouldn't even stay up on my hips.*** Update *** I ordered the medium and they measure (before laundering) 35" in waist and 45" in hip.. a FAR CRY from what the size chart says, and exactly what I needed in a pair of 'fat-day' sweatpants. Interesting to note, reviewers at W-Mart reported the same problem with size difference, so it's not an isolated issue of shipments to Amazon. I expect there will be a little shrinkage after laundering and will update later if it's worth mentioning. Advice: If ordering, order DOWN at least 1 size.*Update on my update, the mediums had barely noticeable shrinkage. After wearing them for a few months I've noticed that they're holding up pretty well with use and laundering. They do have a little bit of "pilling" but it's not too bad. I upgraded to 3 stars for comfort, price, and durability. They are "okay" for sweatpants. Note, I never wear them out of the house.

I am 5'3" and 206lbs and the XL was a perfect fit and I was shocked that they weren't too long. I wish the elastic bottoms were cinched a bit more but I ordered all,of,the colors despite this. Hope this helps someone.

COLOR: I've ordered several pairs. The colors have been true to those shown in the photos. INSEAM: 30 and 1/2 inches. Expect it to be around 30 after dryer shrinkage. POCKETS: These do not have pockets. The closest equivalent that does have pockets are these:  Hanes Women's French Terry Jogger Pant, Black, Small  sweats. Medium weight fabric. A 50/50 cotton poly blend. They do pill badly between the thighs. *NOTE: Some colors have flared legs and may be made with different materials. PRICE: Consistent with other brands but actually a bit cheaper that if you were to buy it in-store.ALTERATION: After inserting a drawstring and knotting it at just the right width, these became the perfect pull-on tapered leg pants. I always felt dumpy wearing regular sweats no matter what my size was. Too much extra material. These fit more like jogger pants - room up top with tapered legs. At this price point who cares what damage may be caused by inserting a cheapo drawstring from a craft or sewing store. My drawstring is actually from an old knapsack. And the effect is cute for all ages. You get paper bag or groucho pants which are cute. You have to figure out what feels comfortable and flatters your body type. If you're overweight like me and your thighs rub together causing pilling then these wont last long anyway.BRAND: I've also purchased these in every color (direct from Hanes) for my mom who lives in a facility. Pull on pants make it easier for her caregivers to dress her and for her to use the restroom on her own without confusion. They're one of the few companies that carries petite sweats that fit her. She's always warm and comfortable (no flared legs) and hers don't need a drawstring.

I ordered 3 pair of these sweatpants and each one fits differently! One pair has a waistband that is way too big, one pair comes down too low in the back and the third pair has two different size legs. In my opinion these are definitely not store quality, more like factory seconds. Very disappointed.

I LOVE these sweatpants! The fabric is a great quality, not thin...great colors. They do run a bit large so take that into consideration. Other than that I've read reviews that have given these sweatpants a lower rating because they don't have pockets...yeah, that's in the description. No pockets means a cleaner line (I know, like that's a major priority when buying sweatpants). Nope, no drawstring either...again, in the description. I hate drawstrings, they're always coming undone. The elastic waist is great, buy the size that fits you (go down a size) and you'll be lounging around in comfort! Oh, and seriously? No better quality sweatpants out there for this price with free shipping (Prime)!

So comfortable are these pants that I bought 3 colors. I love wearing them around the house during the day. They do run large so make sure you purchase a size smaller than what you normally wear. I usually wear an XL so I purchased the Large and they are still a little oversized. But I think the Medium would be too small on me. I am 5' 1" and I weigh 174 pounds and they are great for the length and the size, though a little big around the waist, but manageable.. They have elastic at the feet so even though they are a little long the elastic keeps them from going past my feet. These are exactly what I was looking for. And for those of you who are wondering if they come with pockets, they don't.

I ordered 2 pairs on 2 separate occasions. I do believe these are vanity sized for the bigger person. I normally wear a medium. Those seem like a large or a loose PJ fit. My second order was due a small. It still feels roomy. I am more comfortable leaving the house with these. The small is roomy but still fitted. So order a size down from what you normally get, using the North American store sizes as a guide.

I have purchased so many pairs of sweatpants now and all have been very disappointing, Usually the legs are so wide where I could fit 5 of my legs into them and the length is very short or the leg is very long and bunchy at the bottom with the legs and butt area being super baggy. These however, actually have a half decent cut to them. They could stand to be a bit longer BUT biggest downside is the waist, no draw string! Big deal breaker! After being excited about the pants fitting half decent I found when I sit down and my pants slide down. They are extremely huge in the waist with no adjustment. There is no way I can wear these pants unless I try to insert a draw string myself. Hanes could have a great sweat pant IF ONLY they add a drawstring.

I love these fleece pants. The wide band elastic waist is very very comfortable. They are medium weight in thickness which is great in the rainy weather here in Vancouver, BC. The elastic around the ankle is loose and not tight to the ankle. I've washed them 6x now and they still look new with no color loss. I'm buying more because I think they are very well made, excellent quality and very comfortable.

I bought Large because of the reviews that suggested they might be a little big, so I think I expected them to fit, but my normal pants size is 14/16 or XL.They actually fit me perfectly because of my hip:waist ratio. If you have a tiny waist, I can see why they would fit loosely and even fall down; I had no such problem and my waist is 36 to 38. The only problem I had, out of the three different colours I bought, was a difference in the length of the legs of black ones, which means I need to buy another pair of black ones because it's such a basic colour that I feel the need to buy another one and hope it doesn't have that problem. It was okay to lounge around at home with it, and it was even fine for tall boots, but not my lower boots, so that was truly unfortunate.I hadn't noticed any shrinkage after washing. They fit well and are warm and comfortable. I do like them. Of course, having a cinchable waist would have been better, IMO, but I don't mind because they stay put on me, they're not tight and they maintain their shape. I don't even care that they don't have pockets.For the price I paid, I am very happy with the fit and I would have bought more if I'd found better colours, like red.

They are super comfy but they are massive! I ordered the size small and the waist band is massive ... sad there isn’t an xs. If you normally wear I size small I wouldn’t recommend buying these
