Rapha and Lulu for sure.

I can't imagine that a month later this is still a question that needs to be answered, but I missed it the first time around.

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

But if you want to be comfortable, you should get merino joggers. Got some on sale at Uniqlo, but they appear to no longer be listing them, and while comfortable, they pilled a bit.

The merino Ibex Hero jogger is awesome, pockets, comfortable tied waistband, if you are working from home all winter, I promise you wont regret it. I don't know much about the new Ibex reboot, but these are great pants.

And they serve double duty as long underwear under ski/snowboarding pants, with pockets!

My lulu sweats are only 10% wool but they do have vents sewn in the crotch. They are amazingly comfortable.

The new straight legged Uniqlo U sweats are super. Smart enough to wear outside too.

All I can say is that I hope that I don't see any of you folks anytime soon on the "People of Walmart" site, because all this talk of stylin' in sweatpants is a slippery slope that ends in a sartorial thud.

If covid confinement continues into the summer, we'll need a similar thread for boxers.

For sweatpants I wear champions joggers, $24 on Amazon (Champion Powerblend Retro Fleece Jogger). I’ve had one pair for years and they haven’t shown any signs of wear. Would love to try Rapha/Lulu, but it’s hard to justify the price.

If we are talking boxers, I and all in on Saxx boxers. Have been a real game changer for me. I wear the long leg variety (I’m 6’3” with large thighs), the short legs tend to ride up on me.

Onsale right now.

I've lived in standard issue Uniqlo sweatpants for most of the pandemic. They are pretty slim fitting, have a couple pockets and I don't feel like a schlump if i have to run out to store or something.

Apparently COVID and the effects of long-term lockdowns are much worse than I thought.

Today's Pearls Before Swine reminded me of this thread.

I rest my case.

Champion Reverse Weave, best ever.
Lulu for men, never...

It's been a long time since I bought any, so don't know if they've changed a lot, but Sporthill was my choice for trim fitting, comfortable, functional pants. Not "sweats", but you could do anything in them.

Haven't worn anything but sweatpants/track pants for the past year. Not sure that's going to change anytime soon (except for shorts in the summer).

Just ordered two pair of the Raphas onsale. Wife will be happy that I'm upgrading my look. While the track pants look fine, the old school sweat pants look pretty schlumpy.

Sweatpant is what I do when I’m riding hard. When I’m done with the ride, I put on my warm and snug Puma sweatpants that have a fleecy lining. Yummmm.
