I'll be honest - I was torn about these pants. On one hand, they kept me warm on a chilly late fall hike. On the other, they didn't quite live up to my expectations. Let's start with the good. The softshell fleece material made for a well-insulated pair of pants that kept my lower half toasty in the brisk outdoors. The elastic waistband was also a nice touch, ensuring a comfortable fit that didn't shift around while I was on the move. However, the sizing left something to be desired. I ordered the 3XL size, which should have fit comfortably according to the sizing chart. Instead, they were snug around the hips and thighs, making it hard to move freely - not exactly what you want in a hiking pant. And while the softshell material was great for warmth, it wasn't as durable as I'd hoped. After just a few hikes, I noticed some significant pilling and wear along the seams. Overall, the Men's Grey Softshell Fleece Hiking Pants get the job done in terms of keeping you comfortable outdoors. But if you're looking for a pair of pants that will last for more than a season, you may want to consider a sturdier material.
