AKADEMIKS Men's Big and Tall Flatbush Sweatpants Review:


They were a little too young for me, but attention is what matters, right? I'm roughly 5'11" and 167 pounds, with a waist size of 33. White medium was an excellent fit. Form-fitting, not too tight or too loose. These pants will complement tough leg day work from lunges and deadlifts. It's made of a thick cloth that feels similar to South Pole joggers, making it suitable for wintertime casual wear or cold-weather workouts.



Southpole Men's Basic Fleece Marled Jogger Pant-Reg and Big & Tall Sizes Review:


First of all, these are exactly the warm sweatpants with zipper pockets that I was hoping for. I frequently receive remarks on how stylish they are, which I find odd given that they are basically sweatpants. However, they are nice. I assumed that at 5'10", 165 lbs, and 32 waist, a size Large would be suitable based on the reviews and questions/answers. They felt a little loose and baggy when they arrived; I almost sent them back for a medium, but I ultimately realized that loose and baggy is kind of what I wanted. I didn't want to take the chance of ordering a medium and having them fit too tightly because I occasionally wear gym shorts underneath. I simply tuck in the drawstring and am ready to go. They are comfortable enough for me to wear all day. pertaining to the caliber. The 100% polyester material gives off an extremely strong chemical smell when you first get them. I figured I would just put them on because I was so excited, but the stench bothered me all day. After the second wash, I discovered that 75% of the chemical smell is gone, and after the third, it is completely gone. Another problem is that after a few weeks, part of the stitching around the waist is coming undone, but it doesn't appear to be affecting the sweatpants "structurally." Additionally, the top stitching on both sides of the zipper pocket ends failed, but this didn't seem to effect how the zipper worked. I suppose if I had pulled on the zipper with more force, it might have come off, but this hasn't happened yet. I provided a visual example of what I'm referring to. They deserve 3.5 stars overall, but I'm going to round it up to 4. If they start to completely malfunction by the end of the winter, I'll change my opinion. I did purchase a second pair after finding them to be generally satisfactory.



Southpole Men's Fleece Joggers Review:


Despite being an absurdly big man, I often wear a 3XL. When I placed my order, I read a few reviews that claimed others had ordered a size larger and they were still snug. I thus got a size larger, but they're still a little tight. Fortunately, they're tied just as tightly as I would normally. They are quite cozy. The fleece is quite beautiful. The stretchy cuffs cause me to feel conflicted. On the one hand, it's good to have a cuff that tightly holds your sweatpants legs around your ankle where they belong and prevents them from riding up your leg or slipping down behind your shoe. The cuffs, on the other hand, are so tight that you can only pull them up your leg a short distance. Because of the significant scarring on my legs, I wear compression socks. I literally have to put those on before I put these on. I originally made an attempt to raise the cuff far enough. It worked, but pulling back down was twice as difficult and felt like I was wearing a tourniquet. I merely removed my jeans so that I could put the second compression sock on. You might want to do the same thing and cover them with your usual socks. It's a little challenging, but you can bring the cuffs up high enough to put on ordinary socks without feeling uncomfortable. What they were thinking when they used these cuffs completely escapes me.fantastic sweats They are undersized, so you might not like the elastic cuffs, and I'll probably buy another pair later.



Southpole Big and Tall Basic Stretch Twill Jogger Pants-Reg and Big & Tall Sizes Review:


This would fit someone with a 52-inch waist if they ordered the 6xl, which I did (under the stomach). Outstanding pants. Leg fit is nice and slender, but not too tight. genuinely looks wonderful and doesn't look cheap. The legs are really lengthy, which is the only negative. The good news is that the elastic on the ankles holds your pants in place even though it feels like these would be 52x34 in pants.Okay, so I wore these out for the evening. I went to a bar with some companions, and because I was dressed so nicely, the doorman questioned whether I was leaving a club. For that, I gave it an extra star. Additionally, because of my sensitive stomach, I can clearly tell when my jeans are too tight. I was concerned about these, but after wearing them for a few hours, my stomach didn't hurt in any way.



Southpole Men's Active Basic Jogger Fleece Pants-Reg and Big & Tall Sizes Review:


They are brief (#1). They could use around 6-8" as I am 5'8", weigh 125 lbs, and typically have a 30" inseam.2) Although marketed as a men's pant, they seem to be more of a woman's cut; I bought them for my husband and they were WAY short for him so I kept them as they are only a "little" short on me, plus they are super roomy in the hips and butt and less so in the legs.I love the front pockets - can put a wallet or phone in there and sit down (like to drive someone to the airport at 3 in the morning...which is totally a sweatpant event) very comfortably. That being said, they seem well made—more so than I expected for a sweatpant at this price. I also like the wide ankle elastic and the wider drawstring, since it seems like it won't get lost in the waistband as easily as the thinner ones. Sadly, they only have one back pocket4) I haven't cleaned them yet, so I can't comment on durability or pilling, but I will update this review if I remember to do so after a few washes.Update: After about 5 wearings, they do begin to pill a little, but not too badly.



Southpole Men's Athletic Skinny Track Pants Open Bottom Review:


Let's begin by congratulating South Pole with a big shout-out! I like to think of myself as a fairly stylish man. I can honestly claim that South Pole has advanced much in recent years and should be compared to other more well-known names in the industry. These track trousers are made of high-quality cloth. They have a decent build, are strong, lightweight, and breathable. i.e., they won't rip or tear easily. Because I'm a bigger guy, I can speak with authority. Haha My jeans normally need to be altered because I'm taller (6'2), but these fit wonderfully and end just above the top of my sneakers. That's what I would call perfection! Very fashionable pants that you can definitely pull off brilliantly if you know what you're doing. If South-Pole and the new designers they've recently hired keep moving in the right direction, I firmly believe this brand will start to make a significant comeback in mainstream fashion. I receive all accolades. even placed a second pair on the order. They must, however, provide more of the different hues so that bigger guys like myself can expand the variety of our wardrobes. Those bumble bee track trousers (yellow with black stripes) are what I want so bad! Haha But here, five stars. Ordering these is definitely safe.



Southpole Men's Active Basic Jogger Fleece Pants (Moto and Zipper Details) Review:


I've had my pair on a few occasions and have grown to really like them. They're warm, cozy, and rather nicely made. Since I got it, the olive hue I purchased hasn't at all faded. The fit is pretty standard for sweatpants, however it has a seam over the thigh and a large pocket down the side that make my thighs seem thundering. I typically wear 32/34 W/L jeans, so a medium fits perfectly, if a little bit short. They're designed to reveal a little ankle, so who cares. Returning to the lengthy pocket, its construction makes very little logic. One ridiculously long zipper unlocks two pockets. Therefore, the item in the top pocket will fall out if you put anything there and then need to reach for the bottom pocket. Not the best idea for runners, however I really enjoy the lengthy zipper for fashion. I would like a pair in black with a zipper that is white like that. It will make your thighs appear a little beefier, but other than that, it's nicely made, comfortable, and all you could possibly need.



Southpole Men's Tech Fleece Basic Jogger Pants-Reg and Big & Tall Sizes Review:


the Heather Charcoal/tech was bought. Snug but not tight, the fit is. The medium would have seemed too baggy on me because of my tiny build. Exactly how it seems in the photo. The only thing I have to complain about is how stiff the fabric is. I bought this to wear while working out, but the cloth is so stiff that it limits movement. That is the reason I deducted a star. Perhaps the name deceived me. However, I like it and will wear it as a casual pair of pants. Will buy once more if I need casual pants—not for working out.



Southpole Men's Colorblock Athletic Wind Pants Review:


I bought these because I like the material, but when I put them on, I was pleasantly pleased. On bare legs, they feel really amazing. They feel wonderful and are also incredibly loose-fitting and breathable. Going commando doesn't seem like a bad idea, if that's your thing, because they have the netting type of stuff you usually see in swimming trunks. Additionally, there is a "secret" vent located near the knee, halfway down each leg. As winter is quickly approaching, I originally purchased these to wear as a top layer over my joggers. However, I can already say that if they survive the winter, I'll definitely wear them all summer. They're not only incredibly soft and comfortable against the skin, but they're also incredibly light and airy. They'll make excellent pants for jogging, trekking, and other daily activities. Even the back pocket, which is for storage, has a zipper. The sound it makes while walking is the one thing I could maybe object to, but really, it's not that loud. It actually isn't much of an issue; I only become aware of it when I'm attempting to be quiet. Overall, I would give these an 11/10. Although I've had them for a few weeks and have been loving them, I'll check back and provide an update if I encounter any problems. Yes, I would suggest these to anyone who looks at them with a sparkle in their eye, and I do intend to get more if you couldn't tell by now. I adore them.
