I am 5'3" and 206lbs and the XL was a perfect fit and I was shocked that they weren't too long. I wish the elastic bottoms were cinched a bit more but I ordered all,of,the colors despite this. Hope this helps someone.
Comfy and affordable

These are really comfy and not super thick and stuffy or too thin either. The length fit me just fine, the waist is a little high they are defensive not low rise. I ordered the medium that I usually wear and to account for aome shrinking through the wash. The medium was a little bigger than expected though. I am 5â 2â and currently 143 lbs. and I definitely could have gotten a small. The picture attached shows a side shot of me holding out the waist without any effort at all. I am ordering some other colors but will order small instead.
Runs Ridiculously Large
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018
Runs ridiculously large. The Hanes size chart says XL fits a 32-34" waist, yet when I measured, the waistband is actually 42" wide, and would fit a 42-44" waist. There is no drawstring, just a 2 inch wide elastic band. The hip measures 52", inseam is 30", outseam is 40". The ankle is loosely cinched with elastic, leaving a 13" opening. The Navy Heather color is pretty, like that of faded denim. The fabric is between thin and medium weight. I'd call these 'just okay' for $6-8 sweatpants, but because the sizing deviates so far from the chart, I can only give 2 stars. I bought these expecting a generally comfortable fit, only to find the waist 10 inches too wide... so big they wouldn't even stay up on my hips.*** Update *** I ordered the medium and they measure (before laundering) 35" in waist and 45" in hip.. a FAR CRY from what the size chart says, and exactly what I needed in a pair of 'fat-day' sweatpants. Interesting to note, reviewers at W-Mart reported the same problem with size difference, so it's not an isolated issue of shipments to Amazon. I expect there will be a little shrinkage after laundering and will update later if it's worth mentioning. Advice: If ordering, order DOWN at least 1 size.*Update on my update, the mediums had barely noticeable shrinkage. After wearing them for a few months I've noticed that they're holding up pretty well with use and laundering. They do have a little bit of "pilling" but it's not too bad. I upgraded to 3 stars for comfort, price, and durability. They are "okay" for sweatpants. Note, I never wear them out of the house.
Hanes Fleece Sweatpants
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2015
I LOVE these sweatpants! The fabric is a great quality, not thin...great colors. They do run a bit large so take that into consideration. Other than that I've read reviews that have given these sweatpants a lower rating because they don't have pockets...yeah, that's in the description. No pockets means a cleaner line (I know, like that's a major priority when buying sweatpants). Nope, no drawstring either...again, in the description. I hate drawstrings, they're always coming undone. The elastic waist is great, buy the size that fits you (go down a size) and you'll be lounging around in comfort! Oh, and seriously? No better quality sweatpants out there for this price with free shipping (Prime)!
Just Use A Drawstring!
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017
COLOR: I've ordered several pairs. The colors have been true to those shown in the photos. INSEAM: 30 and 1/2 inches. Expect it to be around 30 after dryer shrinkage. POCKETS: These do not have pockets. The closest equivalent that does have pockets are these: Hanes Women's French Terry Jogger Pant, Black, Small sweats. Medium weight fabric. A 50/50 cotton poly blend. They do pill badly between the thighs. *NOTE: Some colors have flared legs and may be made with different materials. PRICE: Consistent with other brands but actually a bit cheaper that if you were to buy it in-store.ALTERATION: After inserting a drawstring and knotting it at just the right width, these became the perfect pull-on tapered leg pants. I always felt dumpy wearing regular sweats no matter what my size was. Too much extra material. These fit more like jogger pants - room up top with tapered legs. At this price point who cares what damage may be caused by inserting a cheapo drawstring from a craft or sewing store. My drawstring is actually from an old knapsack. And the effect is cute for all ages. You get paper bag or groucho pants which are cute. You have to figure out what feels comfortable and flatters your body type. If you're overweight like me and your thighs rub together causing pilling then these wont last long anyway.BRAND: I've also purchased these in every color (direct from Hanes) for my mom who lives in a facility. Pull on pants make it easier for her caregivers to dress her and for her to use the restroom on her own without confusion. They're one of the few companies that carries petite sweats that fit her. She's always warm and comfortable (no flared legs) and hers don't need a drawstring.
Warm, soft, comfortable...reasonably priced

These sweatpants do run a tad large. I am 5'5", 145 lbs and I purchased a small in black. They are warm, soft, comfy and perhaps just a little long but they are absolutely what I wanted to lounge around the house on chilly days and nights. I really like the fact that they have the cinch ankles. The open type are not as warm. Like some other reviewers noted, they seem to ride lower in the back than in the front but they are not uncomfortable and it may just be my body type. I liked them so well, I also purchased them in slate heather and I'm now ready to purchase another in the heather navy. If you are looking for a warm, soft, comfy sweat pant for a very reasonable price, these would be my recommendation.

I ordered 2 pairs on 2 separate occasions. I do believe these are vanity sized for the bigger person. I normally wear a medium. Those seem like a large or a loose PJ fit. My second order was due a small. It still feels roomy. I am more comfortable leaving the house with these. The small is roomy but still fitted. So order a size down from what you normally get, using the North American store sizes as a guide.
These are very comfortable sweatpants
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2018
So comfortable are these pants that I bought 3 colors. I love wearing them around the house during the day. They do run large so make sure you purchase a size smaller than what you normally wear. I usually wear an XL so I purchased the Large and they are still a little oversized. But I think the Medium would be too small on me. I am 5' 1" and I weigh 174 pounds and they are great for the length and the size, though a little big around the waist, but manageable.. They have elastic at the feet so even though they are a little long the elastic keeps them from going past my feet. These are exactly what I was looking for. And for those of you who are wondering if they come with pockets, they don't.

Gracias a las previas opiniones escogà bien la talla de estos y me pedà dos más. Son muy cómodos. Aunque pedà talla chica y no hay otra más pequeña, queda algo flojito. La tela es muy suave y no tienes que hacerle bastillas o por el estilo. Mido 1.58 y me quedó súper bien de lo largo, no exagerado!!! VolverÃa a pedir otros sin problema. E insisto gracias, gracias a los que opinan dando todos los detalles posibles, para que otros compremos acertadamente.

I have purchased so many pairs of sweatpants now and all have been very disappointing, Usually the legs are so wide where I could fit 5 of my legs into them and the length is very short or the leg is very long and bunchy at the bottom with the legs and butt area being super baggy. These however, actually have a half decent cut to them. They could stand to be a bit longer BUT biggest downside is the waist, no draw string! Big deal breaker! After being excited about the pants fitting half decent I found when I sit down and my pants slide down. They are extremely huge in the waist with no adjustment. There is no way I can wear these pants unless I try to insert a draw string myself. Hanes could have a great sweat pant IF ONLY they add a drawstring.

I love these fleece pants. The wide band elastic waist is very very comfortable. They are medium weight in thickness which is great in the rainy weather here in Vancouver, BC. The elastic around the ankle is loose and not tight to the ankle. I've washed them 6x now and they still look new with no color loss. I'm buying more because I think they are very well made, excellent quality and very comfortable.

I actually prefer these over some other I have.The length is good i wish it was a bit longer as I have long legs but the length is good considering most track pants are floods on me. These arent.They may not be the prettiest but I just wanted some comfy tracks and these are great and the price is amazing. Atleast when I bought them they were under $20.They wash well and fit the same after doing so.

Los compré exclusivamente para estar en casa, sin pasar frío y cómoda. Cumplen ésa función y el color no es el típico negro o gris.En cuanto a la talla, compré medianos y me quedan muy sueltos, sin ajuste (lo cual es cómodo). Dependiendo del tipo de ropa, me encuentro entre las tallas chica y mediana.Me quedan largos, no justos al tobillo. Mido 1.66 m.

After I saw reviews on here that these run large, I was a little skepticalâespecially since there is no drawstring. However, I went with a medium instead of large, and they fit perfectly. Theyâre very comfortable and the waist band is a good level of stretch. Theyâre not loose but could comfortably fit a bit larger size. For this price, theyâre a must! I did notice they collect lint and cat hair very easily. It doesnât bother me because thereâs always car hair on me anyway. But that may bother some!

I bought Large because of the reviews that suggested they might be a little big, so I think I expected them to fit, but my normal pants size is 14/16 or XL.They actually fit me perfectly because of my hip:waist ratio. If you have a tiny waist, I can see why they would fit loosely and even fall down; I had no such problem and my waist is 36 to 38. The only problem I had, out of the three different colours I bought, was a difference in the length of the legs of black ones, which means I need to buy another pair of black ones because it's such a basic colour that I feel the need to buy another one and hope it doesn't have that problem. It was okay to lounge around at home with it, and it was even fine for tall boots, but not my lower boots, so that was truly unfortunate.I hadn't noticed any shrinkage after washing. They fit well and are warm and comfortable. I do like them. Of course, having a cinchable waist would have been better, IMO, but I don't mind because they stay put on me, they're not tight and they maintain their shape. I don't even care that they don't have pockets.For the price I paid, I am very happy with the fit and I would have bought more if I'd found better colours, like red.

The large is just a bit too big in the waist for me as it is not an elastic waist but they are very comfortable and don't slide down (I am 160 lbs 5'2"). I like them a lot and will buy another pair in medium.

Length and fit is true to size chart but with no drawstring waist I do have to constantly keep pulling the pants up. they did also seem to be slightly low rised in the back, but that could also be a big butt factor. Not a huge issue only $10 and only going to wear these around the house.

Great quality sweats, but I will order another pair a size smaller. The large fits like an XL and there is no drawstring to snug them up. Bought to wear when playing with my nephews, but this pair is going to end up around my knees if I did.

Pros: Comfortable to wear and length wise is good for a person that is 5â2 (as I usually have trouble finding pants that do not drag on the floor).Cons: I chose size small (4-6 was in brackets on the tag displayed on the photo of these pants). They do not have any garter / drawstring on the waist section of the pants so this is where it is quite large. After a few washes Iâm hoping itâll shrink to fit properly.

These are warm and comfy, perfect for the fall and winter season, I did order a large and the elastic isnât as tight as I would have liked, so I would probably order a M next time. But they stayed up and I didnât need to continuously pull them up. Another feature I appreciated was the tension of the ankle bands, tight enough to keep the cold out but loose enough it didnât suffocate my ankles. This is a way better quality product then Iâve found out at retail stores, and the price is way below then what others are asking!!
