👖 Gihuo Casual Winter Fleece Sweatpants for Men - Elevated Apparel Review

I bought these pants for a friend who was going through chemotherapy and had a colostomy. His wife said the pants keep him warm, are comfortable and the waistband is high enough to cover a necessary post-op bag. She said it was difficult to find pants that were comfortable and warm, and she would buy more.

Otherwise these are a great pair of pants and I would have given them 4 or 5 stars if it wasn't for the loose drawstring and weak elastic around the waist. The band is not strong enough. sits on your waist all by itself and the drawstring is the worst I've ever had on a sweatpants, it was so bad I had to buy a new drawstring. Apart from that, the pants keep you very, very warm.

So I ordered them in womens sizes, too short and I'm 5ft 2ft 95lbs and ordered XS which fit perfectly but the length was wow. short. So I ordered the men's size xs and they fit perfectly and the length is great. I have washed and not tumble dried the ladies pair, hung them to dry and they have not shrunk. One trick is to turn it inside out so the cord dries faster. I will have several pairs for the winter! Oh, and love the bags too.

About a year later, two of the three sweaters I bought had problems. First a small problem, if you pull too hard on the waistband, the laces will pull right into the band and it will be a hassle to pull them out. I tried knotting them but the holes got bigger over time and it doesn't matter. The main problem is that all pairs have been washed about 10 times and I don't know if that happens on the drying cycle or in the washing machine, but the straps are twisted and won't straighten, making…

To be honest I had no idea what to expect. But as with any lined garment, I ordered my sons a size up (a wise choice). They came vacuum packed and they are amazing! Wash well, wear well and hopefully they'll last the last 2 seasons! They say they are warm and comfortable. The seams are good, did not sit down at all!

Otherwise it's a great pant and I would give it 4 or 5 stars if it weren't for the weak drawstring and elastic around the waist. Sitting alone in the waist and the drawstring is the worst I've ever had on a sweatpants, it was so bad I had to buy a new drawstring. Apart from that, the pants keep you very, very warm.

I chose the size (as a gift) based on the size chart provided by the seller. Pants are HUGE. We can't really judge the fit and quality yet as we're sending them back for a hopefully more appropriate size. (At first glance they're thick, heavy and appear comfy and warm, serving as a quick change for walking the dog first thing in the morning. Hopefully the next pair will fit too. We can actually check how they wash/wear) .
