My son doesn't take these trousers off. They're soft and fluffy in every way without the hard factor. They are roomy, well made and I have a feeling he will enjoy them all winter. My only caveat is that they are labeled "girly". I highly recommend that any parent who has a child with sensory issues when it comes to tissue and skin contact get a pair of these. He earnestly seeks her out after washing to put her back on. Great deal for the price! Great pants for lounging!
