If you like a nice sweatpants style of pants that look a little nicer than regular sweatpants, these are your friend. The material is soft, but solid. Not too thick, not too thin. They are the Goldilocks zone of sweatpants. They have really nice pockets. And the ankle cuffs are not tight--which can be a problem for me and anyone with not-delicate ankles. I have washed them once and they seemed to hold up well. Let's hope they are stain proof because I'd like to keep them nice enough if I did decide to step out of the house with them on!
