These are super comfortable, thick without being hot. The nicest part is as a tall girl, 5’8” it’s hard to find regular length bottoms that are a good length. Most sweats in reg. length hit just a smidge below the ankle bone. I like them to hit the tops of my shoes. Bottoms with elastic closure are naturally shortened because of the elastic band but I hate open bottoms. These are perfect! They aren’t a traditional elastic band closure and not a full open hem. The talks do go to the top of the shoe and bunch a little but doesn’t look like they are too big/long. A couple washings and still no change to length or comfort. I do not dry sweats so they stay a bit oversized. Care so far: These have been washed in warm/hot and hung dry. Really pleased! I will buy more as I find the sale prices, $15-25. Oh…I’m not a small girl in terms of weight and these do not hug anywhere and the prefect loose fit doesn’t make me look like I have a load in my pants or make me look “fluffier”!
