The verdict
Fit
Likely a relaxed leg with a deliberately unfinished, raw-cut hem sitting above the ankle, so the overall length should run shorter than a standard sweatpant.
Quality
The panelled construction suggests more seaming than a basic sweatpant, a reasonable use of the brand's usual fleece quality.
Is the price fair?
$135 is mid-pack for this brand's sweatpant range -- still a premium price for a sweatpant overall, but not the most expensive option in the lineup.
Best for
Shoppers specifically wanting a cropped, raw-hem streetwear silhouette rather than a traditional sweatpant.
Care
Wash cold and air dry when possible to help the raw-cut hem hold its shape longer.
What owners report about ESSENTIALS sweatpants
One owner's year-long wear report found the fleece held up well: no pilling on the thighs and no thinning at the knees after regular winter wear, with the boxy-at-first fit relaxing into a straighter drape after repeated washing. The main complaint was the waistband, which stretches noticeably over a day of wear and only tightens back up after washing. Care guides separately flag the fabric as delicate, recommending an inside-out cold hand wash rather than a machine wash and dry to avoid shrinkage or print damage.
