The verdict
Fit
Open hem creates a tapered, modern silhouette; Powerblend weight feels substantial without being restrictive. True to Champion sizing.
Quality
Powerblend resists pilling and fading better than lightweight fleece; seams are reinforced. Good lifespan for the price tier.
Is the price fair?
Mid-budget tier; the Powerblend and open-hem construction justify this price, especially compared to basic straight-hem alternatives.
Best for
Anyone wanting a styled, modern sweatpant that looks intentional and will withstand regular wear.
Care
Machine wash warm, tumble dry low; the open hem may require cuffing or hemming if you prefer a different length.
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.
