Track bottoms go by a few names, and each hints at fit or fabric. You’ll often see:

• Track pants: Classic straight or open-bottom styles, frequently with side stripes.
• Joggers: Tapered legs with elastic cuffs for a closer fit.
• Sweatpants: Typically cotton or fleece for warmth and lounging.
• Tricot pants: Smooth, sporty polyester often used for warm-ups.
• Tear-away or snap pants: Side snaps for quick changes.
• Workout/training/running pants: Lightweight, performance-focused options.

Names can overlap. On our track bottoms page, you’ll find a mix—from moisture-wicking joggers to open-bottom tricot pants—so it helps to filter by fabric, fit, and features that suit your day.

A track bottom is an athletic pant designed for movement, warm-ups, and casual wear. They typically feature an elastic waist with a drawstring and come in a range of fits—from tapered joggers to open-bottom or wide-leg styles.

• Common fabrics: Tricot or woven polyester, quick-dry nylon, and cotton blends.
• Useful details: Side stripes, zip or snap openings at the ankles, and pockets (sometimes zippered).
• Use cases: Running, gym sessions, team warm-ups, travel, or lounging.

On Walmart’s track bottoms page, you’ll see options for men, women, and kids, including big & tall and plus sizes, so it’s easier to find a pair that matches your fit and activity.

Start with what you’ll do in them, then refine by fit and features.

• Activity: For running and training, lightweight quick-dry fabrics can feel cooler. For lounging, cotton or fleece offers softness. Warm-ups may benefit from snap or zip ankles.
• Fit: Joggers (tapered cuffs) create a sleek look; open-bottom or wide-leg styles provide roomier movement. Check available inseam lengths for a better drape.
• Features: Zipper pockets for secure carry, side stripes for a classic look, and adjustable drawstrings for comfort.
• Care: Prefer easy machine care if you’ll wear them often.

Filters for size, fabric, and style can help narrow choices. Reading reviews and checking size charts may improve your pick.

Keep it clean and comfortable with a few simple tweaks.

• Color: Go monochrome for a streamlined look or choose subtle side stripes.
• Fit: Tapered joggers create a neater silhouette; open-bottom pants offer a relaxed vibe.
• Layers: Pair with a fitted tee or lightweight hoodie to balance proportions.
• Footwear: Clean sneakers complement the sporty feel.
• Details: Zip pockets keep essentials tidy; ankle zips or snaps help the hem sit right over shoes.

Fabric makes a difference: smooth tricot gives a sporty polish, while cotton blends feel more casual. Choosing pieces that fit well can make the set look put-together for errands, travel, or a casual day out.

Care needs vary by fabric, so always check the garment label first.

• Prep: Turn pants inside out and close zips/snaps to reduce wear.
• Wash: Use cold water with similar colors on a gentle cycle.
• Detergent: Mild detergent is usually sufficient; avoid fabric softeners on moisture-wicking or quick-dry materials.
• Dry: Air-dry when possible or tumble on low. High heat may affect shape, coatings, or snap tape.
• Finishing: Skip ironing on tricot/nylon; for cotton fleece, use low heat only if needed.

These steps can help maintain color, feel, and performance features, but ideal care depends on the specific fabric and construction of your track bottoms.
