First thing, and I've had this issue on several pieces of clothing: on men's clothing, the zipper goes on the right, not the left. The zipper on the jacket for this item is on the left, like American women's clothing, so I gave it to my wife.As for the pants, they're functional but nothing special, the pants have zippered pockets which I assume are great for when you're running and don't want things to fall out.For lounging around pants, they're not great, but that's more the style than this particular item. They've held up well through a few washes, and haven't had any issues so far.
