The verdict
Fit
Open hem allows a relaxed ankle. Champion runs generous through the waist and thigh. Big & Tall sizing adds additional room.

Powerblend is Champion's reliable polyester-cotton blend—adequately durable for regular wear. Seaming is functional, not refined.
Is the price fair?
At $37.50, exceptional value. This is genuine budget-tier pricing with expected trade-offs in fabric weight and finish.
Best for
Practical shoppers seeking no-fuss sweatpants for loungewear, gym, or everyday casual without spending.
Care
Machine wash warm; tumble dry medium. Powerblend tolerates frequent washing.
What owners report about Champion sweatpants
Owners of Champion's heavier sweatpants, especially the Reverse Weave line, praise a thick, sturdy fleece that holds up through repeated washing with little color fading. The complaints cluster around fit and consistency: sizing is unpredictable across pairs and styles (some report a size too big, others too small), the rise and leg run long, and some styles lack a drawstring. Occasional quality-control misses — ripped or unsewn pockets — also show up in owner reviews, and reports on shrinkage range from minimal to noticeable.
- Strengths
- Owners say the heavyweight fleece is the draw — thick, warm, and durable through many washes without much fading.
- Watch out for
- Sizing inconsistency is the top complaint — pairs run big or small unpredictably with a very long rise — alongside scattered quality-control defects like ripped pockets.
- Sizing
- Check the garment measurements rather than trusting your usual size: many owners found pairs a full size big with a long rise and leg, while others found the joggers ran small.
