[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As of mom of 7, full time teacher, and someone who likes to work out and stay in shape, I need athletic wear that I can use multi-purpose. The first thing I noticed about these pants if the color and fabric - they are the perfect shade of greige to wear out and about with any color and hide any marks or wear and tear and the fabric is super soft to the touch! I appreciate the color because I like wearing lighter colors, but as a mom of 7 little kids, I'm always afraid that will be noticeably dirty or stained too quickly. Thankfully, these pants stood the test of sticky little fingers and mom work! While I did experience getting them dirty, the marks and stickiness washed out easily and left no mark! I'm VERY happy with the fabric quality in this regard. Some more pros of these pants: 1) they fit true to size (I got size small and I'm 5'8" 125lbs) with room to move. 2) The waist is the perfect mid/high rise for comfort. 3) The detailing makes them look much more polished than typical sweatpants. 4) The lightweight material is great for layering over running tights/shorts for layered workouts and truly does breathe well. 5)The thicker waistband is ideal for not having a pinch point on my waist when bending and lifting. Some cons: 1) the material is more coarse on the inside - it's not plush or soft. This is good for moisture-wicking, but not the most comfortable for lounging (so just be advised because I feel the title of "sweatpants" made me assume they would be cozier). 2) they run a bit shorter than I prefer (size small, 5'8") and end about jogger length 3) the lightweight fabric is very breathable, but not "warm" or cozy like the title "sweatpants" implies to me - they are more of a tech sweatpant. Overall I really like them and the fact that they are easy clean and can transfer from home to workout so easily and with such style makes them a great purchase in my book!
