1) are these soft or stiff? 2) are these elastic waist pants? If so, is there also a drawstring, and is it needed to keep the pants up? Thanks!

not too soft not too stiff really works for me in the tropics and the quality keeps up in the wash especially when i have to use bleach. they are elastic waist and string and it really helps even though the sizes are correct. but to the size chart and you will not be disappointed

The outfit is not extremely soft because the uniform needs to look clean cut when wearing it, but I wouldn't say it was uncomfortably stiff either. There is an elastic waist band but no draw string, pants held up fine by themself.

Its an elastic waist. I think XL would be a bit big on you. I'm a 34 waist and wear the large

I'm 5'6 and 145. I got med I believe. They are tight but that's what you want. They also have a drawstring. I'm big legged and have a big hinder so med works just fine for me. Hope that helps!

"Light-Medium" weight. Not too thick, or heavy, but not lightweight. Right in the middle somewhere. Seems to be a very dense fabric, not flimsy or 'tissue' like either. I think the pants are a very substantial fabric, yet they'd be okay on a warmer day and not stifling hot. They do not feel bulky or heavy on, but I think they're substantial enough for hiking and having your legs rub against brush and it wouldn't hurt or scratch through.

No, they do not have an elastic waist. They do however come with a mesh fabric belt. There is one small section in the back that is elasticized but it allows for no more than one inch of adjustment and maybe not quite that much. These were pants I bought for my son with a 30 inch waist. Perhaps larger sizes will have more elastic in them.

They are soft with elastic in the back. However they are stiff on the design part and I have avoided wearing them when I know I will sweat such as running. I think sweat will stain them and they do not seem like they would absorb. I am a nurse and wear them to work with my hair in a ponytail.

They do fit just slightly below the waist but are not like hip huggers. I found them very comfortable (I do not like high waisted pants_. to be more specific, although they do sit below the natural waist line they are not anything that is going to expose your rear when you bend down.

There is a band of elastic, but it's only at the outer end of the fabric. The elastic material does not cover the full sides, as I've seen with other mattress pads. The mattress pad fits well around my mattress (my mattress is not thick, so the elastic part is underneath), but it is more loose/baggy on the sides than with my previous (non organic, cheap) mattress pad. Nothing that bothers me, though.

I have always worn with long pants or jeans. I think just because they are rubber, its actually cooler to wear some sort of pants because rubber doesn't absorb sweat but yes I wouild imagine they would cling to your legs a bit if it were against skin. However, it is a thick rubber so less likely to stick hard, you actually roll them down your legs anyway to take them off. But I love mine I use them quite frequently.

I sized my pants from my underwear size S/M/L. I am 6' and 225lbs so I had to get XL and they fit wonderfully. The waist band is very good elastic allowing a tight but very comfortable fit. Hope this helps.Jim

I've never worn Lululemon... But the prana pants are nice. Light fabric, with stretch. No elastic in the waistband, and that is a plus for my comfort level. No fly. Two pockets.I have two pair. Good for exercise, yoga, casual wear. It seems like these are 'boot cut,' slightly flared legs.Comfortable. Pretty $$, but I imagine the Lululemon are in the same range

5 will be too long. I had to have them hemmed. The waist is elastic and will stretch.

The material is similar to Army ACU uniform pants. Similar to ripstop material. It's not stretchy.

I know nothing about material but I would probably call them a Poly/Cotton blend and they feel like a light weight canvas.. I do know that they are rip-stop....and they wear well in all kinds of weather. I especially like them in the Texas summer. They are much more comfortable than blue jeans. I've been wearing them for a couple of years and the oldest ones look as good as the newer ones.

These are definitely warm! The lining is very warm and soft - I would say they are the warmest sweatpants that I own. They aren't thermal or anything like that, but great for lounging and warmer than the knit-type sweatpants that I have from VS and some other comparable places. Hope this helps.
