Mens Sweatpants in Mens Pants

Which sweatpants should I buy for car camping and other light outdoor activities?

Look for sweatpants with plenty of pockets for your gear. Lightweight, moisture-wicking sweatpants help keep you cool outdoors in hot weather, while fleece-lined, heavyweight sweatpants warm your legs in cold weather. Choose sweatpants with elastic hems to help keep bugs like ticks off your legs.

How do I choose the right size jogging sweatpants?

Joggers are made to fit widest at the waist and upper leg, then taper down to snugly encircle the ankle. Choose joggers that outline your figure but don't constrict your movement. If the ankle fabric hangs loosely on joggers, they're too large. Part of your socks should be showing below the elastic ankle hem when jogging sweatpants are the correct length.

What are the benefits of open-bottom sweatpants?

Open-bottom sweatpants have a looser fit around the ankle than elastic-hemmed sweatpants, so they look less like workout pants. People with longer legs sometimes prefer open-bottom sweatpants, because elastic hems ride too high on their lower calves. Open-bottom sweatpants drape nicely over athletic and casual shoes, too.
