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.

Yes, I am 5'1" and don't have any issues with these being too long. I ordered a size small and they fit pretty well. When pulled up all the way the elastic waist band is definitely above my belly button, but that doesn't seem to be uncomfortable.

I think they fit the waist ok not exceptionally low. Make sure you buy a size smaller though. I found they run big.

Not sure, my (32 waist) medium fit snug with the elastic belt tightening perfect for it to stay up just right. Love the shorts .... I'd think exlarge.

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.

Go XL, they have a very stretchy waistband so don't worry about it being too tight. And you can just use the drawstring if its slightly too big

I wouldn't recommend getting the leg warmers. After a couple of uses they start to slide down. I strongly suggest looking into long pants, much better, but I would recommend getting an extra large in pants or leg warmers, if you go that way

I found the J hooks to be more comfortable as well as more concealable. You will wont to wear pants with sturdy waist band though.Another good thing is that the J hooks don't snag on things when you take a seat.

Thanks to the fairly good elastic at the waist + the presence of some tightening cords (which I didn't need to use), whether you get small / medium, you should still find it a good fit. But being padding, it's still somewhat bulky, and you may not want it to be so big that you can't fit in your pants (biggest risk when you buy these sorts of impact protection). I suggest buying a small, even though you're probably not usually a 'small' and may feel a bit apprehensive about it. Their sizing is different from normal clothing sizing.

Hi Ben, I'm a 37 1/2" waist and the large are fine on me. Snug enough to stay up without a belt, but because of the elastic there's lots of room. You might even want to think about a medium but definitely not XL. Tom

Hi, I just put my husbands on to confirm for you. His are 7 for mankind and not super heavy. The hanger didn't bend at all. It is quite lightweight though and what I found with them is that the hook part comes away from the body. I would recommend the 12 piece set Jobar slacks hangers open ended easy slide organizers. I got those for my husbands jeans etc and they are much heavier and withstand the putting on and taking off much better and don't leave creases in the jeans. However if you just want one set, these will do the job, they just won't last. hope that helps :)

Who wants extra care for sweats, so I pop these in the dryer on medium heat. The pants did shrink some (perhaps 1/2") in length. In my grey set the pants were on the short side to begin with. Shrinkage would normally be welcome (I am only 5'4") however the grey sweat pants ran pretty short and are now barely long enough. My navy blue pants are fine but were cut longer at the start. The fit otherwise remains fine after repeated washing and drying. So far they have held up well remaining soft, no pilling, very comfortable. Fabric content on the sets I've received is 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Who wants extra care for sweats, so I pop these in the dryer on medium heat.

They should not be to loose either. If your legs are thick then XXL but then waist might be to big. See my other note.

The belt is white. The pants are normal elastic waist with a drawstring. They're not like some gis I've seen with the weird "potato sack" drawstring that's open and never really stays tied... We've had these gis for 6 months and they've held up very well. We wash them 2x a week and they don't even show any wear or fading.

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.

Yes, yes they do have elastic all the way around. You won't be disappointed if you buy a set or two, like I did. I love the way they feel against my skin!!

Hi! I'm a 34 waist, usually and I wear a medium. A first time user will experience some discomfort after 4 hours of using with the elastic binding fastened. If he has ever had sciatica, protracted and frequent use with elastic binding could cause flair ups. I suggest relaxing the bind for some period while wearing is an alternative. Good luck!
