I wasn't sure I'd like the terry cloth and nylon split shorts but they are comfortable and look good. I wear them mostly for lounging around the house, but they're not too loose or baggy and I could see them working out. They're terrycloth, but it's a lightweight fabric, not the material I think of when I think of their thick, heavy sweatshirts. They stretch a bit and fit well, just enough room to relax but not a baggy mess. I like them and might order a couple or two more.
