Running Pants Frequently Asked Questions

What type of pants are best for running?

When you're deciding which pants to wear running, think about the weather and the distance you're running, plus your own personal preferences. In general, look for running pants made from moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester or nylon. These fabrics help keep you sweat-free and comfortable. Running pants should fit snugly but not be too tight. You should be able to move freely and comfortably. Most running pants have features like pockets, reflective details or a drawcord waist. Consider what features are most important to you.

How to choose running pants?

Here are a few factors to consider when choosing running pants. First, lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric will keep you more comfortable than heavy fabrics like all cotton that can get soggy when you sweat. Second, a snug fit minimises chafing and provides some muscle support. However, avoid anything that feels restrictive or cuts off circulation. Full-length tights are great for winter, while capri leggings work well for warmer weather or shorter runs. Casual runners who dislike tights or leggings may opt for relaxed jogger-style pants, but these aren't the best for long runs or hot weather.

Are joggers made for running?

Most jogger-style pants are made for streetwear and not for running. Joggers can be a suitable option for casual running or short runs in cooler weather, especially if you prioritise comfort over performance. However, for serious runners or those training in hot weather, running pants, tights or shorts made from lightweight, moisture-wicking materials are a better choice for optimal comfort, sweat management and performance.
