This is SO incredibly disappointing and a bit careless. Here’s why:
I really could use these pants and was so happy to see them again as I’ve purchased them before. The have all been the BT brand.
This time, it says they will be BT or Black Ice. Well, the Black Ice mediums are cut very small so I’d need a large in those but the medium BT are cut loosely so they are slightly baggy in medium which is fine.
So because of this, I can’t order the 3 sets of these that I wanted because with the random brand being thrown in, it’s impossible to choose a size. I can’t emphasize enough the size differential between mediums across these two brands.
Hi there. Pass your comment on to our vendor. He responded:
…the items are identical in fabrication and sizing, they just happen to have different brands on the tags.
Here is a pic of two mediums on top of each other from each brand, they are the same fit. Im not sure what the customer received in the past, its possible that it was a one off situation but that was a diff jogger, I believe it was fleece. This is the first time we are offering the Ft joggers this way and sizing is in fact the same.
@ThunderThighs Because of course as someone that has purchased these many times over would lie for the fun of it. I invite you to look at my purchase history. Then tell the vendor that they full of it. I bought sets of these last time with the BT picture and didn’t notice the possibility of Black Ice since I had gotten BT every time before and the pic was the same one that accompanied that listing. I got the Black Ice ones and they are very tight everywhere.
I know, I know, return them. Easy to say. I am ill. Getting a bag of garbage to the street is difficult enough than dealing with getting out to return something.
I just measured them.
Black Ice:
Just above the bottom cuff from seam to seam on the Black Ice is 5 inches
BT:
6 inches.
Black Ice:
Across the thigh from seam to just where the crotch seam is 8 inches
BT:
A bit over 9 inches
The material is also vastly different across the two brands. The BT ones have a looser feel. The Black Ice more of a sweatpants feel that’s more rigid and much less flexible than the BT.
But feel free to take the vendor’s word for it rather than someone who essentially lives in these pants out of necessity.
I’m sorry. where did anyone say you were lying?
Nobody said you didn’t get something different. Just that it might have been a one-off.
Either way, I’m just the middle person here so I’m not going to go to battle for this. Just wanted to share the pic from the vendor.
I appreciate you asking them and your position. I would not expect them to say anything different since throwing these things randomly into a package is easier for them.
But the size differential means I can’t purchase them anymore. And that’s upsetting. I buy them every time they come up and have bought about 30 pairs of these with at least 12 of them being too tight because they are not the BT brand.
