Elastic and very comfortable to wear.

These pants are great! They are pretty universal as far as you can use them for most occasions. Great to work out in and just a good pair of pants! I always have trouble with pants fitting me correctly but these fit great right out the box! I really enjoy doing Life in those pants

I’ve been using these pants for the past week in 60-80 degree weather and I couldn’t be happier with how they feel and perform. I’ve played outdoor and indoor basketball in these and it really felt like I was wearing shorts with how breathable and flexible these pants are. I was able to move freely without the fear of something ripping. They fit well (I wear medium with a 30in waist) and have a velvet/dry fit comfort to them. Perfect for casual outings in warm to hot weather. I highly recommend these for running, basketball, or skateboarding. The zip pocket on the right securely fits my phone while I run and the mini pocket on the left is perfect to carry my headphone case securely. The only con I can say is that after a wash, they feel a bit more papery/rough. Hoping it keeps up its comfort for many years to come.
