Customer Reviews Russell Athletic Dri-Power Open Bottom Sweatpants with Pockets

Okay but nothing special... fit a bit short waisted

I'm an " ole skool" Russell fan. The quality have taken a hit with the material. The tie string in the sweatpants is just pathetic. What is that, I took the pants to a seamstress and she went to Joanne's and purchase a real draw string. But overall they are okay.

I received the pants and tried them on. I was happy with the color black and the softness of the material. What I wasn't to happy with is the waist band. I would have preferred a 2" band versus the 1 1/2". I have almost no hips and even with the cord tied they always fall down. Two of my other purchases had the 2" waist band and work very well.

The sweats are ok but for some reason they are very long. But thanks anyway

My last open bottom pants were a better quality and had a back pocket

Comfortable pants, but the drawstring broke within a week or two of wear.

the waist elastic is not as wide as my old pair. They don't stay up well. I have to keep adjusting them all the time. I have the draw string taut. No problem with my old Russels.

I am a tall woman and I have to buy men's sweats for the length. The length of the pants were barely at my ankle. The fleece was warm but a little thin.

This is my second pair, the pair I got last year had deeper pockets, fabric was more heavy and draw string was thick, not thin twine like rope. Won't reorder.

My wife is trying to find me straight leg cotton sweats, with a back pocket. You used to make them. Mine are getting a little tattered. I wear sweats all winter and carry my wallet in my back pocket. Trying to put it in the front is a pain in the ---.. Be a wise company and see that there is a need!

One pair fits well, the other fits oddly like was made on a different pattern. Will be returned.

The sweats pants were too long. I need to take them up about three inches

My favorite fleece bottoms are the "MEN'S COTTON RICH 2.0 PREMIUM FLEECE SWEATPANTS". Unfortunately, they have been only available in the XXL and 3XL sizes for the past few months so I bought these as a stop gap. On the positive side they are soft and feel good. However, they do not fit me as well as the cotton ones since they are bigger for the same size, they seem thinner and the drawstring is a loop which is hard to tie instead of separate laces that are easier to tie and keep the pants up even with a wallet and phone in the pockets. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the cotton ones will soon have the large size in stock.

I prefer the type of string that you can tie, This loop that is stiched in is hard to make tight and eventually tears from the waist band when pulled tight. I've had better quality draw strings on Russel products

I was hoping they would be as nice as my original ones which have been a very successful support to my activities and needs for many years.. My original had a two separate pull draw string tightener system and were thicker. I tried to match them to the ones offered your web site. I'll continue to search for a better match.

Too flimsy, too tight, poorly designed, no rear pocket, too thin. Not worth price.

Bought (3) pairs in different colors. One pair has a leg that is at least 1" longer than the other. The other two are OK. All seem to run toward the high side (larger) of the waist size. Could have been 4 stars or better but for the mismatched legs on one pair.

I highly recommend this pants. They are very durable

These pants are really baggy and really long. If you're shorter than 6' 2" get a M

After one wash the thread came out of the waistband, I had to re-sew the waistband. As expensive as these sweatpants were, I don't think I should have had to re-sew them. Otherwise the material was nice and heavy. I wish they offered more colors to choose from in my husband's size. I also wish you could get the inseam you need, I had to cut off about 3-4 inches and hem them.

I like the previous design of the dri-fit sweat pants better. These do not have the zipper sides on the lower leg. Not really coaching attire. It's more dorm room cozy attire. Nevertheless, I'm definitely going to rock these.

ordered lrg ,normal as in store size ,not tall.Nothing about length.they 8 to 10 in long.

Pockets(front) are not deep enough.. i dont feel comfortable with money in my pockets

They fit alot smaller than the grey pair for some odd reason and fit more like an XL than anything (i got a 2x )

Not really "Dri-Power" as suggested. Bring back the old zipper pocket Polyester sweat pants from a few years ago.
