I didn't know what to expect with all the reviews. I'm 5' 5' 190lbs female and I got the XL. It has a comfortable fit at the waist. They are definitely long, probably a foot long. So they're not great to walk outside really quick in, but I love them. The fact they hang over my feet is a plus when I'm looking for lounge pants in winter as my feet get chilled easy. Some people say they're thin? I feel like the material is pretty standard. They're not flannel, sure, but they weren't advertised that way.Personally I love them and have been practically living in mine since I got them last week. I'm almost about to buy a 2nd pair as backup in case something happens to these.I don't know how long the words will last after multiple washings, but for now I'm in love with them.
