The Best Men's Joggers

The Sunday Performance Jogger is Vuori's best seller, and it is easy to see why: a soft, stretchy, mid-weight technical knit (88% recycled polyester, 12% elastane) that looks presentable and feels comfortable. It has zip pockets, a tapered, cuffed ankle and comes in Regular and Long lengths. It costs $110, and Vuori gives a 120-day return window. Owners score it strongly. The trade-offs: the Regular 28 inch inseam is meant for 30 inch wearers, so it can be short for tall people, Vuori's own fit rating is about 3 of 5 and $110 is not cheap. Skip it if you are tall and do not want to buy the Long. It is tagged for walking, recovery, travel and lounging in our data. Our Vuori Sunday Performance Jogger review has more.

The ABC Warpstreme is a jogger that looks like a pant. It is a wrinkle-resistant woven-stretch fabric (Warpstreme, 53% Elastomultiester and 47% recycled polyester) with front pockets that have hidden phone and coin sleeves, and an anti-ball-crushing gusset. It goes up to 5XL. It costs $128, and Lululemon allows returns within 30 days. The trade-offs: the price, a single Regular length (Lululemon says it is meant to sit at the ankle for a 32 to 34 inch inseam) and a light feel that is not very warm. Skip it if you want fleece. It is tagged for travel, standing all day, everyday wear and training. Our Lululemon ABC Jogger review covers the fit in more detail. If you are tall or short, check the length first, since there is no Long option on the page we read, and use Lululemon's 30-day return window to confirm it.

The Session Jogger is Ten Thousand's lightest, most breathable training pant, made for hot gyms. It has a tapered fit (86% polyester, 14% spandex, 124 GSM), ankle zips, a perforated waistband and a shirt loop. It hits at the ankle for 32 inch inseam wearers, according to the brand. It costs $128. The trade-offs: it is only offered in black, the price is high and the light fabric is not for cold weather. Skip it if you train outdoors in the cold or want a warm pant. It is tagged for training, running, HIIT and travel. Ten Thousand's 30-day return policy is strict: request within the window and mail it back within 14 days. See our Ten Thousand vs Rhone comparison for more.

The Interval Jogger is a training-first pant with a four-way stretch shell and Ten Thousand's Every Session Carry pockets. The brand calls it its best-selling training pant, and it comes in three colors in a tapered fit. It costs $138. The trade-offs: it is the priciest jogger here, the fabric composition is not published on the page and the length is only Regular, although the size guide mentions shorter and tall guidance. Skip it if you are on a budget. It is tagged for training, lifting, HIIT and travel in our data, so it is a gym-first pant. Compared with the Session, it is the one to choose if you want the pocket system, and the Session is the one to choose if you want something lighter.

The Triumph Restore is a cozy tri-blend fleece sweatpant (50% polyester, 38% cotton, 12% rayon) with zip pockets, for cold days at home. It costs $108, which is the lowest price in Alo's joggers here. The trade-offs: the fit is boxier and oversized, it is warm and it is not meant for training. Skip it if you want a fitted pant, or if you live in a hot climate. Inseams run from 29.5 inches to 31.5 inches by size. It is tagged for lounging, recovery and everyday wear. Alo accepts unworn items within 30 days and covers return shipping on US orders with a prepaid label. If you want a lighter, warmer-weather version, look at the Chill below. Our Alo Triumph Restore review explains the sizing, and plus sizes are offered.

The Chill Sweatpant is a lightweight French terry (65% cotton, 35% polyester) with side zip pockets and a cuffed ankle. It is soft and easy for lounging or travel, and Alo's size range covers plus sizes. It costs $118. The trade-offs: it is oversized, and Alo suggests sizing down, it costs more than the Triumph and it is a cotton blend, not a performance fabric. Skip it if you want to train in it. Inseams run from 29.5 to 31.5 inches by size. It is tagged for lounge, everyday wear and travel. Alo's 30-day returns require unworn, unwashed items with tags, so try it on at home before removing them. It sits at the lighter end of Alo's sweatpants, and Alo covers return shipping on US orders with a prepaid label.

The Commuter Pant is not a true jogger; it is a stretch pant that looks like dress trousers. Rhone offers Slim, Classic, Athletic and Straight fits in 13 colors, in inseams of 30, 32 and 33 inches, with petite and tall options. The fabric is a wrinkle-resistant Flex-Knit stretch, though Rhone does not publish percentages. It costs $138, and Rhone offers free returns within 45 days in the US. The trade-offs: it is not technical, the price is high and Rhone's page blocked our automated reading, so details come from retailers. Skip it if you want a gym or lounge pant. It is tagged for travel, everyday wear and standing all day. If you want a cuffed, relaxed jogger shape, pick one of the other pants on this list.
