Contour Men’s Sweatpants with Pockets Zipper, Cruise Sweatpants for Men, Joggers for Men Slim Fit, Mens Joggers for Workout

I’m a guy and have been searching for a pair of pants that are well made, comfortable and don’t cost a fortune. I like the Virus pants but they’re just too expensive. Here comes Contour Athletics.Just wow! The color selection is nice, the pants have all the traits I like and the price is right! Plus zippered pockets! Yasss!! There’s no back pockets in these which is fine as I do a lot of rowing and the zipper may stab my buttcheeks over time and they’re sore enough as it is rowing 10,000m a week!My only issue (not worth removing a star) is a size chart. I reached out to the seller Amcrest Direct and they said they will add one but never did. I believe that is because, while I also reached out to Contour Athletics directly on their Facebook page, they said they do not even have a size chart available. Can you believe that? No size chart! I was baffled... So, this issue isn’t on Amcrest Direct. I ended up buying two different sizes (Large and X-Large) and returning the one that fit the least well.I measured my waist and I’m at 38 and I’ve got a huge butt, so the large was the best fitting for me. I also got the extra large but it was too big in the legs as in, it wasn’t a nice tight fit I like around all the areas. Let’s just say if my butt doesn’t look good, I’m not buying it.A word of caution. As others have mentioned, the pull cord is sturdy with nice solid metal ends to tighten and loosen the pants but it is rather short which is both good and bad. Good because it doesn’t get in the way if you don’t like to tie them together but bad if you pull the waist too far out to get some air in your pants after an intense workout or just when taking them off or maybe in the washer or dryer, you’ll lose one of them inside the pants and it’s frustrating to get out. It’s like losing the pull cord in a hoodie; super annoying to thread it through cm by cm. I have tied a knot on the ends of mine to avoid the problem altogether.Overall, I love these pants and I’m going to buy more in some other colors. I also bought their shorts and they’re nice as well.

These joggers are great to relax in at home or even run a few errands on a lazy day. They fit well if you are looking for a snug fit or tapered pant legs. I’ve had them for a few months now and I haven’t noticed any wear or tear like other reviews have mentioned. As long as you take care of them like you would for most other clothes, they will last.A few things to note as a suggestion and a warning to anyone considering this purchase:1. The ankles are very tight. It’s relatively easy to slip your feet into them, however, it’s usually a hassle for me to take them off. I wear a size 10 in US men’s shoes, so that is average for most adults. It’s not a deal breaker for me, but maybe it’s because I ordered small joggers. Be warned if you’re taller and/or have wide feet.2. There is no back pocket. I love that the joggers come with zippers for the front pockets. Since the pockets are pretty roomy, it allows for the security that nothing will fall out in case you are going for a jog or laying down on the couch. However if you’re planning to go to the store or go out, you won’t find a back pocket to place your wallet or other items. I personally, prefer a back pocket on all of my bottoms, but it’s not a big deal unless I have a lot of things I’m traveling with.3. The stitching can be uncomfortable to those with sensitive skin. Most people won’t be too bothered by it, but the stitching above the knee and behind the calf are fairly noticeable when you wear them. I’m honestly not sure what the purpose of those stitches are, but I think the joggers could easily do without them.Overall, I’m glad that I bought them since they are my go-to jogger of choice. Definitely better than regular sweatpants and perfect to relax in during the cooler months.

I bought these Men’s “Cruise Sweatpants Joggers” from Contour in Heather Gray, Size Small. I’m 5’ 8” and 110 pounds with a slim build and slim waist.Overall, I really liked these! In my vocabulary, I would call these more of “Sweatpants” — but not the thick, inflexible cotton of our childhood days. This is a great, soft, and flexible fleecy cottony material—not the smooth polyester material of Contour’s Hydrafit or Mechanical Stretch Joggers. This will be great for chillier weather and running outside in the autumn or winter. The material isn’t too thick, but would suffice for 50-60 degree F weather.In terms of sizing, these run a little long in the legs (as compared to Contour’s Hydrafit or Mechanical Stretch Joggers). These sweatpants in size small had a leg length of about 31”, I would estimate. Thighs are flexible and not tight, but if you have skinny slim thighs like me it’s okay — elastic enough where it’s not baggy in the thighs.There are no back pockets. The 2 side pockets are fairly small — can fit the iPhone X but I have doubts about anything bigger.My least favorite part is that these pants are, as all of Contour’s pants, way too boxy in the crotch area—not the thighs, but the crotch. There is just too much fabric, creating an unflattering look with bunching. Calves have more breathing room and are a bit wider than other Contour products, but not baggy and remain slim down the pant leg.Moreover, the drawstring straps don’t do much to tighten—the waist is a bit large (I would estimate small to have a 30” waist size, my best guess). I usually wear 28”, but the drawstrings don’t do very much. Where the drawstring does tighten the pants, it creates this unflattering bunching up in the crotch area that doesn’t pair well with the too-long crotch dimensions.Feedback to manufacturer—please, please revisit the crotch proportions and shorten it up. Moreover, could you please make an extra-small for those of us who have a slimmer, smaller build?

Fits and looks great, my new favorite brand...
