Smartwool  Active Fleece Wind Pants - Men's

Hey REI, the image you're using is for the "Men's Active Fleece Tight". It seemed to cause some confusion today when I went to exchange for a different size. Anyway, on to the pant. As for fit, I'm 6"1' and wear 34x34 Levi 511's. I have a Large F21 sample of "Men's Active Fleece Wind Pants" that fits very well but the fleece is showing normal wear at the knees and seat. I ordered a large F24 for replacement and the sample in F24 large was cut ~2 inches wider in the leg and 3-4 inches larger in the waist compared to the F21 large, overall less insulating. I exchanged them for a F25 Medium that fits a little closer to my original F21 large sample.

Have one of these from several years ago and love it! This one has less panels, fits like sweats, and doesn't have zippers at the bottom for starters. Terrible...returned it immediately! Love smartwool, but guess they're trying to meet some price point. Pass on this one

Along with the Smartwool Active Fleece Pullover, this set stands up to cold weather extremely well. It will keep you warm even with the temps approaching zero without limiting your range of motion for activities like running. I found these while trying to find men’s leggings for outdoor winter runs, which was a challenge in of itself (most “leggings” for men are just base-layers, apparently). I am happy with my purchase. If you’re a bigger guy like me, order for the waist size because the bottom of the pants do a good job of holding on to the ankles. My only nitpick with these pants is that the drawstring makes me feel like I have to be gentle due to the material used, but it has worked so far without issue!

Very comfortable and warm. Good for long runs in the cold weather. They do fit a little big though. I’m 5’11 175 and I always wear medium. Had to size down to a small in these.

The pants featured in these photos are not the same as the current style. No zippers on legs, no phone pocket, no rear pocket and it is a much looser fit.

I do t review things but I have to say these are amazing! I got them for a turkey trot in my area thinking they would do ok. It ended up being a nice 21 degrees with snow and 30 knot winds. I on the other hand could have been running in Florida for all the cold I felt! I’m never going back to my old cold weather running gear this is now what I will be using

This is the second pair of these pants that my husband has had. After at least a decade of hard and weekly wear, the first pair finally got holes in the knees. And he still won't throw them away. He's going to cut off the legs and make shorts out of them. I assume the new pair will be as useful and durable as the first. The design hasn't changed. You can't beat a good thing! The only comment that I would add is that they are a little too short for someone who's 6'4'. Maybe you could offer a tall size??

These are great for cold weather and cool weather with wind activities such as running or cross country skiing. The front panel is ideal for necessary, added protection. They are a bit stretchier than need be and a bit larger than I would prefer. I wear them alone from about 20° to 35°F after that they are too warm. And with base layer under 20° F.

I purchased these mainly to wear over my cycling chamois. They have been great at cutting the wind and maintaining warmth. They are super cozy, good for athletics as well as lounging. Big big fan so far. This winter is allegedly going to be super brutal, I am sure these will hold up just fine.

I've been running outside with these…. they're great. Super comfortable, fine for 15 degrees or 34 and raining. No pilling, like the fancy Salomon's I just got… I machine wash and dry them, and they're in great shape!
