I hope you shower first, because otherwise they won't stay fleecy for long...

Adidas classic 3-stripe pants; fairly cheap and they actually look good.

I think you're only allowed to wear these, with the matching jacket, on airplane routes between the northeast and south Florida...

I do, but what makes you think that they won’t stay fleecy for long if I don’t?

Not a comment about their quality, but $120 sweatpants -- what's the world coming to?

USA made and very high quality materials.

Another vote for Icebreaker Merino wool pants.

TLDR but the Patagonia R1 pants did not come up in a search.

I had the p'gucci fleece sweats until I got too fat. Those things were epic. I spent a week soaking wet on the Eastern Shore in November and never got cold. Pockets and snaps all around.

The R1s would get my money now if not for a pair of fleece pj's my wife made when we got married. Under a pair of loose wind pants I walk in the coldest weather, and could add tights underneath if needed.

Here's a pair. They look awfully baggy.

My wife likes to see more detail. We will leave it at that.

$120/pair for high quality sweat pants. Not cheap, but not crazy.

If you want to choke on a price of sweat pants, here you go:

They were only $500/pair, and yes, they all sold out.

Is this competition to Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop crap? I mean, her highest priced sweatpants are only $295...but you can buy a mattress on Goop for $38,000.

And with regard to the sweatpants...

I'm sorry, I don't wear "experimental heavyweight sweatpants." What if something were to go wrong?

I mean, you have to be pretty blase to not care about putting your junk in experimental pants. Just look at the model. He is the essence of blase.

Buildup of sweaty, salty and grimy stuff from your body.

Is that mud build up on his upper leg? Or is that leg muscle? Yikes!

Rumor has it soap and washing machines have now been invented.
