Is the crinkle permanent?

The crinkled texture is built into the nylon finish, so it holds through normal wear. Wash cold and skip a hot iron, which can flatten the texture.

How do these fit compared with regular joggers?

They run loose and baggy through the leg, with elastic cuffs at the ankle. If you want a closer fit, size down; the drawstring waist helps either way.

Are they good for hot weather?

They are light, but nylon does not breathe well. They suit mild days, travel and layering better than a heatwave.

Just the pants. No belt or extra drawstring is included.

When is the best time to buy?

Watch the price history for dips around seasonal sales and end-of-season clearances. Parachute pants are a trend item, so discounts tend to come when the season turns.
