How does the open bottom differ from cuffed sweatpants?

The leg ends in a straight hem instead of an elastic cuff, so it drapes loosely over shoes and doesn't gather at the ankle. That gives a looser, more casual look than a jogger.

Do these sweatpants have pockets?

Yes. There are two side-seam pockets for hands or small items. There is no back pocket or zip pocket.

How should I choose a size?

The cut is relaxed and several owners say it runs roomy. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down; if you want a loose lounge fit, take your usual size.

Are they warm enough for cold weather?

The brushed interior adds softness and some warmth, but the fabric is lighter than heavy fleece. They suit mild weather, the gym and indoor lounging better than deep winter outdoors.

How do I care for them?

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Wash inside out to protect the brushed interior and avoid fabric softener, which can flatten the fleece.

What is the waistband like?

It is an elastic waistband with an adjustable interior drawcord, so you can tighten or loosen the fit. It pulls on with no fly or button.

Our take on the Athletic Works Men's Open Bottom Sweatpants

Athletic Works men's open-bottom sweatpants are a basic pull-on pair with an elastic waistband, an interior drawcord, two side-seam pockets and a brushed interior. The open hem gives a straight, relaxed drape that slips over shoes and doesn't bunch at the ankle like a cuffed jogger. They suit gym warm-ups, errands and lounging. Against cuffed sweatpants and branded fleece joggers, they trade the tapered look and heavier fabrics for a loose, uncomplicated fit, and owners rate them well as an everyday pair.
