“way too small in the waist”
“it wont zip up”
“they don't hold up”
“doesn't have much stretch so they run a little tight around the waist other than that I like them they are durable not baggy around the thighs like so most others if they had a little more stretch they would be a perfect for me so I when I wash them I don't dry them all the way so they won't be too tight around the waist”
