I have been wearing Nike dri-FIT training garments, both pants and shorts, since they were introduced. I have always been very well satisfied with their fit and functionality. I I'm 6 ft/185 lbs and I'm very fit and athletically built. These pants are very well made and comfortable to wear with one huge design flaw which makes them only usable for training and not general wear: it is impossible to sit while wearing them without completely opening the side leg zippers and hitching up the pants to allow knee flexion. This is really too bad since, my other Nike pants have always been the perfect combination of training garment and also usable for casual wear of all kinds. This matter really needs to be addressed by your design team and tested by actual people.

How This Was Made
- The recycled polyester used in Nike products begins as recycled plastic bottles, which are cleaned, shredded into flakes and converted into pellets. From there, the pellets are spun into new, high-quality yarn used in our products, delivering peak performance with a lower impact on the environment.
- In addition to reducing waste, recycled polyester reduces carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to virgin polyester. Nike diverts an average of 1 billion plastic bottles annually from landfills and waterways.
