I’m writing this review in Roots sweatpants, I do most things in Roots sweatpants.

I’ve been wearing Roots most of my life. It makes sense — the brand was founded in 1973 in Toronto by Michael Budman and Don Green, who met at summer camp in Ontario’s Algonquin Park. I was founded many years later, but lived near Toronto and went to sleepover camp near Algonquin. The brand was successfully marketed to my social circle but I’ve always been sold on its comfort and quality. I still regularly wear a pair of Roots sweatpants I got when I was 13 (they do have holes and I should retire them, but alas).
