Men's Track Pants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is for the Nike Sportswear Authentic Men's Track Pants. Wow! Couldn't be more surprised and happy with the quality of these trackpants. The pictures on the website really don't do the product justice. Let's get into it: Pros: Have to start off the with quality of these pants. They're made using a heavyweight knit fabric (some sort of cotton/poly blend) that really gives this a high quality look and feel. The outside has a shiny sheen as you could expect from a cotton/poly blend fabric; it comes with no inner liner. However, these feels so soft to the touch on the inside that you don't need it. It's a three pocket pocket, with two on the sides and one in the back. The back pocket is large enough to hold even the largest of smartphones. Speaking of the pockets, here's the other thing that blew me away: THE ZIPPERS! The side pockets come with zippers to secure your belongings and WOW; they're heavy duty. I have some luxury hoodies that don't have zippers that are of this quality. The back pocket has a single snap button that's cleverly hidden beneath the flap to give it a cleaner look. And going along with that cleaner look vibe: what helps differentiate this track pants from others is the pintuck sewing down the center of the legs on both sides. It's subtle from afar but when you get up close, it almost feels like this is a "dressier" track pant; definitely shows off some character that you're not getting with other track pants. Other details include a nice single white line piping going down the sides (that definitely gives it some pop) and the traditional Nike Swoosh below the opening of the left side pocket. Drawstrings are available and they are inside-facing, again to help with that clean look. Cons: Can't really see any with these. They're just great the way they are. Some might say they could've added a cuffed ankle or maybe zippers on the ankles. . . but they're missing the point. Then they wouldn't be track pants. If you want a pair of track pants, this is it. You want cuffed/zippered ankles? Go get some joggers. I got the standard fit, size Medium and they fit a bit big. For reference, i'm 5'9 180lbs. I'd say go true to size if you're going with the standard fit (should've gotten a small). For those wondering, these are perfect lounge-around-at-home pants BUT they're stylish enough for a quick run to the market or for running other errands. Great for days when it's a bit chilly and dreary outside. I went with the Brown pair and it does a great job of giving off that vintage vibe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that these track pants are overall very solid. I think the maroon/burgundy is a nice color, and the white pinstripe on the side accents it well. For a typical track pant I think this hits all the marks and is very good. Although I think the overall construction and features of the pants are good, I do have some minor issues with it. Generally, I prefer pants with a straighter leg, and not with as tapered of a leg as these. Although I do not believe this is much of an issue, as this is standard for track pants, its is more of a general preference that I have. My other main issue with the pants is the hardware that's used for all of the pockets. I'm not really a fan of the big, clunky, rough metal zippers and the big button on the back. Although I know it brings another nice looking detail to the front of the pants, I feel as though it's somewhat impractical as they are really rough to the hands, and just feel like a bunch of extra weight on the pants. Overall, I think the pants are really good, and with a few minor tweaks would be really great.
