Lululemon Surge Joggers are black, seamless, and classic. They have three zippered pockets, an elastic waistband, and a drawstring. The cinched ankles also have zippers for adjustability. They are super lightweight and moisture-wicking. Each pair has an odor-reducing technology as well – ensuring no weird smells fester or emit when wearing these – great if you plan on wearing them for several days between washes.
Made out of nylon and Xtra Life Lycra, they draw moisture away from your skin and reduce any chance of chaffing or sweat buildup.
While these can work well at the gym, their tapered design and quality materials make this well suited for various scenarios—the black color pairs well with colorful t-shirts and sweatshirts for a comfy classic look.

- Stylish
- Lightweight
- Versatile
Cons
- A bit pricey
- Modern-cut may not work for all body types

Located in Encinitas, California, and founded in 2014, Vuori is making a name for itself in the men’s athletic apparel industry. The Sunday Performance Jogger is unique because they perfectly burl the lines between durability and softness, making them ideal for workouts and lounging.
To deliver the outstanding quality, Vuroi Joggers rely on a blend of polyester (88%) and elastane (12%). Therefore, you get to enjoy an always proper fit that never gets stretched out and naturally moisture-wicking fabric.
With side seam pockets that have been paried with a side zip pocket, you can carry the essentials with you and still enjoy that tailored look of joggers. Sizes range from XS to 2XL accommodating a waist of 27 to 47 inches.

To ensure you get a proper fit, Public Rec offers several waist and inseam sizes.

4. Socially Responsible: Patagonia Men’s Terrebonne Joggers
Whether hitting the trails or the city streets, the Patagonia Men’s Terrebonne Joggers are a performance-centric pair that provides you with unhindered movement.
The Terrebonne Joggers can achieve this performance thanks to the reliance on a stretch and ripstop 100% recycled polyester fabric. In addition, Patagonia added just a touch of spandex for comfort around the hip for that extra bit of stretch.
For details, the Terrebonne is pretty standard – a drawstring waist paired with two side seam pockets.
Patagonia is no stranger to societal and environmental issues – they are one of the few companies that talks the talk and walks the walk. When you head over to their product page, you can see exactly how and where these joggers are made.
Pros
- Environmentally-friendly
- Performance-focused design
- Simple appearance
Cons
- Limited colors

Constructed from a blend of cotton (66%) and polyester (34%) fabrics, you’ll get a breathable, durable, and moisture-wicking fabric. While these work great for around the house, the Sportswear Tech Fleece is designed for cold-weather training.
The details are standard – drawstring elastic waistband paired with two side pockets. To prevent discomfort while sitting, Nike added a vertical zip back pocket.
Pros
- Wide size variety
- Several colors
- Classic design
Cons
- Thicker fabric adds considerable weight
6. Work From Home: Flint and Tinder 365 Jogger
If you are looking for the jogger style, but don’t exactly want a pair of tailored sweatpants, then consider this 365 Jogger by Flint and Tinder.
Unlike joggers that primarily rely on a blend of polyester and spandex, the 365 Jogger is a cotton (98%) pant with a jogger-like style. With an added touch of stretch through the inclusion of spandex (2%), you get super comfy and breathable lounge pants that you’ll love wearing – especially when you’re working from home.
These feature side seam pockets, a drawstring, and a ribbed hem at the ankles like traditional joggers. But where these differ is they have a button closure and zip fly.
Truly unique, these are a solid pick if you are looking for a pair of pants to comfortably wear around the house.
Pros
- Comfortable design
- Unique
Cons
- Not for workouts
- No inseam selection
7. Informal Wear: Marine Layer Yoga Jogger
Are you looking for a pair of pants to slide on when running to the grocery store to pick up a few items? Or perhaps you just need some laidback pants to toss on when checking the mail? Whatever the errand is, the Marine Layer Saturday Joggers are a perfect match.
Comfortable, soft, and breathable enough to provide the ultimate in comfort, yet stylish enough that you won’t be self-conscious about how your bottom half is looking. The joggers are crafted from a blend of cotton (69%), TENCEL lyocell (29%), lycra (2%).
While the model in the picture above is wearing a slim fit, Marine Layer also makes an athletic fit.

- Super soft
- Breathable material
- Tailored style

Relying on their proprietary moisture-wicking DRY-EX technology, the UNIQLO Men’s Active Jogger Pants won’t falter even during the toughest of workouts. The joggers are also stretchable, ensuring that you have a full range of motion.
UNIQLO went with a conservative color palette on the style, and you’ll only find gray, black, navy, and dark green – you may find this a bit limiting if you prefer bold styles.
For storage, the joggers have side seam pockets and no back pockets. To note, the inside right pocket has zip storage, good if you plan on going for a run and want your ID secured.
Priced at a modest $29.90, the UNIQLO joggers are one of the most affordable from a well-known brand.
