There are few pants styles more comfortable than joggers: They can be designed for sportier activities or simply for lounging, and their elastic cuffed hems keep in warmth (and keep out unwanted dirt or bugs, if you wear them while hiking). Depending on the jogger, they can also be styled to wear out and about, whether you’re traveling or simply running errands.
Below, we’ve rounded up some shopper-favorite joggers from across the Internet, no matter what you plan to wear them for. In each case, reviewers vouch for their comfort and usefulness. For most of these, we were able to find matching men’s and women’s styles (or close enough); we’ve noted where we haven’t. Trust us — soon, you’ll be wanting to wear these all day, every day.
These Hanes joggers made of the same material that won a HuffPost Shopping Award
You might recognize Hanes EcoSmart fleece from the HuffPost Shopping Awards, since we gave one to the ridiculously popular hoodie made of the same stuff. If you’re a fan of the material, or have been wanting to try the softness out for yourself, you can get it in these joggers made for men and women. The two styles aren’t exactly the same (the women’s joggers are pocketless and have no drawstring, for a sleeker silhouette), but both are midweight, comfy and sure to be on regular rotation in your closet. Get them in a few different colors and women’s sizes S-XXL, or men’s sizes S-3XL. According to reviewers, you may want to size down.
Promising review: “These are the most comfortable joggers ever and warm especially for this winter, and even for any season. The bottom of the joggers are not loose which I personally love. I even ordered for my parents and they love the joggers also. Highly recommend” — Dianapze
Or this quick-dry lightweight pair from a reader-trusted brand
Baleaf is one of those under-the-radar brands on Amazon you’ll be glad to know about. Their quick-dry hiking pants remain a HuffPost reader favorite, and they make joggers for men and women that boast similar features, like a quick-dry, ultra-lightweight fabrication with four-way stretch that’s ideal for hiking, running and being outdoors. Again, the men’s and women’s styles aren’t an exact match here (the women’s have more zippered pockets, a drawstring and UPF 50+ sun protection), but overall, these are made to be light, comfy and ready for your next workout. Get them in a bunch of colors, in women’s sizes XS-XXL or men’s sizes S-3XL.
Promising review: “ok, these joggers amazing. I threw all my other ones out and bought 6 of these!!! I wear them in every color now. They are amazing. keeps you cool all day, even if it’s hot and even if you are playing. I dont know what tech they use in building this material, but AMAZING!!!
Only dig I have is, I dont like the zipper ends, they have them in orange or a different color, dont really like that. Other than that, no other issue. Also having the zipper is amazing because it holds everything in your pocket also.” — Rando221
Some lightweight lounge joggers from Champion
These Champion joggers aren’t made with ultra-warm fleece, but are nice and comfy, making them a great fit for that in-between fall weather. These come with two side pockets for convenience, as well as that classic C logo at the hip (in the women’s style, it’s in a tonal color, while the men’s has it in its signature colors). The women’s also has a drawstring while the men’s doesn’t. Get them in a handful of colors, in women’s sizes XS-XXL, or men’s sizes S-XXL.
Promising review: “I have many other joggers, cheapies, but these joggers are by far the BEST. They fit my small frame way better than my other less expensive joggers, they wash well & they don’t pill. These are light weight & perfect for warmer weather. You’ll love them too!” — sHe
These fleece pants with Adidas’ classic stripes
Instantly recognizable, the Adidas stripes on these fleece joggers make them stand out from the pack and add a sporty edge to any outfit. Complete with a drawstring and two pockets, these pants can keep you nice and warm thanks to the fleece material and ribbed cuffs to seal in the heat. Get them in a few different colors and women’s sizes 2XS-2XL, or men’s sizes XS-4XL (Amazon also sells the men’s style in Tall).
Promising Amazon review: “These are the most comfortable sweats I can find. Sizing is on the money, fabric feel is great, like the cuffed, but not too small bottoms. Price was unbeatable anywhere! Ordered another pair just to have as back ups!” — TVK1
Some dreamy Vuori sweats in their softest fabric
I own some Vuori clothing, and can vouch for the softness of their DreamKnit fabric, which is what their performance joggers for men and women are made of. It truly feels like heaven against the skin, but the sleekness of the jogger styles help them avoid looking too frumpy or drab. Again, the styles here slightly differ: The men’s features zip pockets on the side and back, while the women’s have open side pockets. But both come in several useful neutral colors, have a drawstring, and are available in two inseam lengths. Get them in women’s sizes XXS-XXL, or men’s sizes XXS-XXL.
Promising review: “These pants are light weight and the softest material you can wear! The pockets lay perfectly without making your hips look wide. They fit perfectly without leaving marks. I’m 5’6 and 145lbs and ordered a medium.” — Kimberly H.
Patagonia’s trail-ready Terrebonne joggers
As you probably know by now, Patagonia is the real deal when it comes to quality clothing for the outdoors. If you like joggers for their hiking-ready appeal thanks to the cuffed elastic hems, you can try these Terrebonne pants, which are quick-drying and water-repellant for your next outdoor adventure. The logo on the left thigh is reflective for low-light visibility, and these even have handy features like a carabiner loop. Get them in women’s sizes XS-XXL, or men’s sizes XS-XXL in a range of colors.
Promising review: “I love these pants, and have since ordered several others in different colors. They are very comfy, quick drying, and great all around outdoor pants. I appreciate the additional pocket on the right side that has a zipper closure too, to make sure my phone isn’t going to slide out while hiking. I am 5’10” and often find pants are too short in length, but these fit just fine.” — Julia
Or these SuperSoft fleece pants from Quince, for those who’d rather lounge around
If you’re not the outdoorsy type (like yours truly), you might prefer a cozy, loungey pair of joggers, like these ones from Quince. They’re made with the brand’s SuperSoft fleece, which is nice and stretchy. They come with pockets and a drawstring in both men’s and women’s styles. Grab them in several different colors, in women’s sizes XS-XL or men’s sizes S-XXL.
Promising review: “My favoritw joggers. They are so soft snd warm! I have been wearing them out and about for errands and they make me feel put together but i’m so comfortable. I plan on getting a few more pairs.” — Irena S.
A pair of sleek, slouchy women’s joggers from Knix
Knix is known for their leakproof underwear, but they make all sorts of clothing items, and that includes these CloudCut joggers, which are both sleek and slouchy for a cool, casual look. Enjoy two side pockets, a flat waistband with an adjustable drawstring and bonded seams for a clean profile. Get them in three colors, and women’s sizes XS-4XL.
Promising review: “I tried these and cannot describe how incredibly comfortable soft and well-made these joggers are ! They are attractive, professional, looking and incredibly comfortable! I bought the navy and ended up buying a pair in black and a second pair of navy because they are so comfortable and well made !” — Melissa
Another workout-ready pair from Vuori for men
If you liked the look of the Vuori joggers shown earlier, but want something sportier, they make a men’s jogger in an athletic slim fit with a quick-drying, lightweight material that’s still comfy and stretchy. (Pro tip: Some reviews mention women wearing these even though they’re marketed for men, so anyone can try these out.) They feature the same side pockets and back zippered pocket. You can get them in three colors and men’s sizes XS-XXL.
Promising review: “The Fleet Sport Jogger is one the most comfortable joggers from Vouri. The material is light, stretches, and high quality. This is my second pair and I plan on buying another in a different color.” — Chris G.
Old Navy’s high-waisted jogger sweats for women
HuffPost has many Old Navy fans, and if you want joggers for an affordable price, theirs are pretty unbeatable. These women’s jogger sweats have an internal drawstring and two side pockets, and are made with a 90% cotton blend that’s nice and warm. Try them out in a bunch of colors, women’s sizes XS-4X, and three inseam lengths.
Promising review: “These sweatpants are lightweight yet warm and super comfortable. The legs are a bit longer, which I really appreciate, and they run slightly larger than normal—which I love! I haven’t been able to find good old-school sweatpants in forever, but these are perfect!” — Barb
