[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a frequent gym-goer so I am always on the hunt for a nice pair of joggers or sweats to wear to the gym. When I came across these, I thought they'd be perfect. The material on the outside is exactly what I was hoping for- it's soft and smooth, but not too smooth that it feels unnatural. The fit feels nice and they seem to run true to size. The rubbing on the waistband was super innovative and it allowed me to get a solid fit without it being too tight. This is important to me because when I'm running on the treadmill or the lap, I want to make sure I have a good fit so my pants don't need to be pulled up (no one likes that), but I also don't want them squeezing me and causing discomfort when I move over to the weight room for squats or dead lifts. These joggers excel here because I can do all sorts of calisthenics and not worry about them riding up, or falling down, and simultaneously feel comfortable in all other activities too. The pockets are solid and have plenty of room to hold my phone, wallet, and keys so I don't have to bring a bunch of other items into the gym with me. The joggers also have a nice fit around my ankles. There is a solid finger width between my pants and the ankles, which is my preferred fit. I want them to be fitted, but not tight. My only gripe, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is the inside material of these pants is quite uncomfortable. It feels like they were too focused on sweat wicking and put like a waterproof layer of plastic inside the pants. It is absolutely grating on my skin and feels so unnatural it makes it hard for me to wear these pants for any extended period of time. If the material from the outside of the pants was the same used on the inside, these would be a perfect 5 star.
