Southpole Juniors Basic Fleece Jogger Pants with Cargo Pockets

Detailed review:First off, I consider the fit to be somewhat large because I am approximately 5'1" with a 28/29 waist and 37 hips so I usually fit a medium and sometimes a small; never a large. However, upon looking at the sizing chart I realized a size Large met my measurements. They fit great. The pants actually cover my ankles a little and sit comfortably at my waist (i hardly had to tighten them with the drawstring). They're not baggy on me, but not tight. I suppose you could say they're a little "loose" (for lack of a better word); I have room to move freely in them. Next the sweatpants are surprisingly warm. Before putting these pants on I was a little cold in my baggy college sweatpants, now I'm comfortably warm. I also read on the tag that they are made to keep you dry as well; I didn't see that in the description. Finally, in case you were wondering, the side pocket is deep enough to hold my iPhone 5s with pocket buttoned (only side pockets).Now the shipping.I thought it said they were being shipped from Asia or something, but they still guaranteed I'd get them within my Prime Two-Day shipping. The morning of the guaranteed delivery day I received an email saying the shipment would be delayed, but when I tracked the package, it was in my state; in fact, only two towns away. So I did receive the shipment on time with Prime.In my opinion I think this was a GREAT buy and I'm so glad I got two pairs (black and heather gray). All the other skinny sweatpants on Amazon either shipped from Asia, didn't have Prime, or were waaaayyyy too expensive for my college budget.I just hope they don't shrink when I wash them...Hope this review helped everyone! Please comment with any other questions!

TLDR: Size up just ONE size unless you're taller than 5'4".Seams come apart and holes form after 10 minutes of walking.May 1, 2015. Sizing info.A lot of the reviews here say to size up. You totally DON'T need to size up TOO much. I'm normally a small/medium (5'4" 135 lbs, waist ~29/30) in sweatpants. I order things from China a lot (from Amazon) so when I think "size up," I think 2 sizes up. One size up should be more than enough. I ordered a size XL and it's SO HUUGGEEE, especially in the legs; quite baggy. I'll probably end up ordering both a medium and a large and seeing which works, definitely sending this XL back. If you'd like to know more specifically how sizing works, drop a comment and I'll try to be helpful. But the product itself is nice for $12; the inside is soft and warm and the outside looks presentable enough to go out to the grocery store or class.Update: May 13, 2015. Terrible quality! Drop TWO stars.So I went with the medium, it fits well at the waist but the ankles were a bit too short (I'm 5'4") but no big. Looks ok except for the weird bunching happening at the ankle cuffs. Not a terrible look for everyday errands. Now here's the problem. I went out to walk in them for 10 minutes. Just 10 minutes. I came back and found a massive hole in the croach area as well as intense thigh pilling. I have large.ish thighs but this type of thing has never happened with TEN MINUTES of walking before. The seams are coming undone as well. Would never recommend this product to anyone. If you want to wear it for one weekend, then this is ok, but if you want sweatpants to last at least 2 months (which was my hope!) then these are not for you.

Plusses: Material is very soft fleece, thick, and warm. Length is just right (I'm 5'4) Pockets would hold things securely.Minuses: Material pilled like CRAZY after washing/drying it. Not the end of the world as they are intended solely for house and pj wear only but if you plan on wearing them in public...wash and dry them by themselves. I ordered a size large since other reviews said they run small (and they're junior sizing) and they fit like a medium juniors. I'm typically a size 6 in Misses, and these in Large Juniors are very snug on me, when normally I can wear a size 7/8 in Juniors, so they do run quite small. They are not stretchy at all, so when bending over, your bum *might* flash any people or pets who happen to be behind you at the time. This may be a plus or a minus, depending on your intentions for these pants! If you are taller than 5'6, these pants will be crops on you...again, this might be what you're looking for. If not, you've been warned.

These are pretty comfortable! The pockets are a little shallow because of the way they are made, but they look pretty cool. I like that they're on the side instead of in the front or on the back. I only have two complaints: (1) The material doesn't respond well to friction, so unless your thighs don't touch, you're probably going to make the material really rough/worn just from a normal amount of walking. (2) The waistband tends to roll down sometimes, which isn't a big deal. It doesn't really matter, just kind of a bother to fix every now and then. Other than that these are pretty comfy lounge pants and they look great.

I'm usually a small but I ordered a medium to get a looser fit in these slim fit pants. The medium was a tight but comfortable fit. They're really flattering for sweat pants too. The small may have been too tight for me. I'm barely able to layer my leggings underneath for going to the gym in the winter. In the future, I'll order a large for the looser slim fit I was trying to achieve.

Wow, these pants were unexpectedly warm. They are super comfortable and I wear them all the time. The only thing I would change is the location of the pockets - where they are right now, they seem to sit in an awkward place mid-thigh that makes them jut out and makes your thighs look bigger than they are. I would rather have the standard two decently deep pockets starting at the hip.
