20 Best Warm Ups For Running (2023 Updated)

Hem in the back of the garmet was done carelessly. i have several pair of adidas track pants and the back is smooth on all other pants. The stitching on these pants was haphazard and had no design purpose.

the product is very cool. There is no need to describe the quality of Adidas. I recommend quality fabric. and extremely comfortable.recommenden this tradeinn

The size of the pants is accurate. My son wears a medium in men’s clothing. Good quality. My son only prefers these pants to go to school. Comfortable and stylish at a great price.

I love these for running in cold weather over compression tights. I don’t like feeling restricted and these are loose, but not too loose. I will probably wear a wool base layer under them when it gets below zero or single digits.

Big zippered pockets, but putting a phone in them would probably be annoying and bounce a lot. I only take my keys. The only problem I have is, the seam badly chafes my lower back above my butt crack.

I thought it was the tag at first, but I fully removed that and it keeps happening. The seams are not flat. I do tend to run at least six miles, so if you do less it may not be a problem. Chafing balm did not help.

Brooks Women’s Momentum Thermal pants are soft, comfortable, and well made. They’re probably great for running when temps are in the 35-45 degree range. They’re not quite warm enough for me when I’m out walking and it’s in the teens or 20s.

I bought them to tide me over until my Sporthill winter wardrobe fits again. Sporthill is the gold standard and my usual go-to for xc skiing, snowshoeing, shoveling, walking, hiking, and all the other things I like to do in winter.

I’m grateful to have found winter exercise pants that fit; they’re just not quite warm enough for me.

I am in love with these pants. They are perfect for running in colder temps. They are loose enough that I can wear with a pair of tights underneath for really cold days, but slim enough that they don’t feel bulky on their own.

They are also very comfy and I’m loving them for lounging too. I wish there was one zip pocket in the back instead of on the side (would be better when running) but I’m surprise at how little my phone bounces in the pocket – especially if I have another layer underneath.

Also worth noting that the waist band is VERY snug on these. I think one size up would have been two long on me so I’m dealing with it, but I wish it was a tad looser.

I’m pretty curvy (12-14″ hip/waist difference depending on weight fluctuation), as well as plus-size (16/18) and petite (5’3″). Finding ANY fully-featured gear that fits is tricky. I usually order 7/8 leggings if petite sizes aren’t offered.

Besides needing a short inseam, the main issue with leggings is getting them to stay up at the waist. I ordered these specifically because of the drawstring at the waist, which is great for curves. Happily, these leggings do fit surprisingly well! So I wanted to write this review for people who are also very curvy and wondering if the style will work.

The rise could be a bit higher in the back and lower in the front, and thigh area could be a little more generous as well. When I’ve cinched the waist to the point that they stay up while I’m on my bike, there is probably about an inch of extra material gathered at the waistband, and many, many inches of extra drawstring.

I’ve modified the drawstring a bit with a plastic toggle so I can cinch and uncinch the it easily; I also sewed in a small elastic loop to keep the excessive drawstring length tidy. I may eventually replace the drawstring with something less stretchy if it doesn’t hold up.

I expected the inseam of the XL would be too long for me (with a 28″ inseam) but it’s pretty good. I like the pockets and reflective details. I wish there was more reflective areas and a flashy/trendy colorway in addition to the black (really trying to be seen on the bike and love for my clothes to feel fun, not just functional).

I will wear these for snowshoeing and daily winter cycling. The main reason I would not recommend to a friend is the extremely limited size range–only about a third of US women fall into this XS-XL size range.

Your need for warm, functional clothing does not simply vanish when your hips exceed 47″.

I have two pairs of these pant/leggings and attempting to buy a third going into another winter in NE Ohio. I’m a professional dog walker, and I wore my first pair just about every single day of the fall through early spring, wearing the crotch area thin! They sell out fast so I only had this pair to wear that actually kept me the warmest and dry in the elements.

They work excellent for blocking wind, water and snow!!! And of every single pair of fleece leggings I’ve tried (probably 20 different brands) these pants work the BEST. When temps dip into the lowers 20’s and under, that’s when you truly need another layer for added protection/warmth.

Otherwise these do their job perfect. I’m 5’4 amd 120 lbs, wearing the smalls. They fit very comfortable on me- not super tight like a legging but fit like a legging. They do slide a little, but easy to pull back up.

Lots of length too, so if you’re taller they should be fine. The waist is comfortable too- more of a mid rise and doesn’t hit in that weird too high waist area. Hoping more smalls will be in stock next week! I’ll be keeping my eye on it!.

For years, I used the PHD Wind Tight as a go to for stand alone all day-wear pant, snowboarding layering piece and winter running, snowshoe, adventuring pants. They did it all and I would wear those pants for days in a row before I washed them.

I literally wore the threads bare (in a good way, high quality for sure!!) This is the replacement piece and although they haven’t made it through my first winter yet, I am already wearing them all day long.

The merino fleece does seem ever so slightly thinner than the older PHD tight but many of the design features are the same as my most recent PHD pair (purchased 2018). I am happy to still have zippered ankles, drop in open and zippered side pockets and of course the wind paneling.

I do wish the waist band was updated, it’s still a rather non-stretchy waist band with a tie string. Many athletic tights now have a wider elastic waistband which helps keep everything up and in place.

I’d also love to see this pants or maybe another product put the wind paneling on the back seat of the pants too, protecting the butt and thighs. As mentioned, I use these for snowshoeing and the kick back can be heavy wet snow, plus sometimes you just want to sit in the snow to take it all in! Overall still a cornerstone piece of my winter wardrobe and Smartwool’s lineup, well done Smartwool! #SmartwoolLove.

I had been looking for some training trousers for a long time but they all seem to have elasticated bottoms or those annoying cuffs. These are a great fit, slim fitting but not too tight. The bottoms are straight and have zips for when you are taking them on or off.

The material feels good and they look good on. I wear them for my power walks round the park and woods etc. and they feel good.

I purchased these running pants to run in cold weather. Unbelievably warm and comfortable. I am happy with fit and price.

These are great value. They’re well made and provide a true fit. My 15 year old boy is loving them!

There are reviews that reference seams splitting, and I actually tried on a pair of these tights at the garage sale and they had a split in the front calf diagonal seam. The leggings I received are different than these photos, so I think the design has been improved.

They have cuffs at the ankle and they do not have the diagonal seams at all. So far, so good! The size small is not extremely tight (I’m 5′, 118-120 range, and athletic/curvy) and definitely not compressive on me.

The drawstring kept them up at my waist but I was worried they might slip down.

I’ve had these thermal tights for over a year now and use them regularly! During the cold winter months in Alaska, these are the best for running outdoors. The high waste ensures they fit comfortably during long and short runs.

During the summer, they’re perfect for wearing casually. The pockets are a bonus. They do tend to run a bit on the smaller side and have held their shape well.

Love these – so much that I debate if I should get a 2nd pair so I can stop wearing the same ones everyday, LOL! I wore these with the Patagonia Wind Shield Pants in Utah after Christmas during the cold/snowy days.

The layering was light yet warm enough! I honestly was surprised. I was fearful they would not keep me warm, but they did! These are my “go-to” warmer hiking leggings. Either as a base layer or by themselves depending on the weather.

I’ve worn and washed many, many times now and still in good condition. An absolute staple and fav for me for colder weather.

These Tights Long have a great design & feel to them. I wore first on a 6 mile winter day right out of the box and they felt great & looked great. Just a few items of notes: These are not compression tights even though they are tights.

I ordered size ‘S’ and could have easily worn a size ‘XS’ if one was available, and secondly, the zippered ankle, which is alway a great feature to me, expands the foot-hole only slightly. Care should be taken when sliding your feet & heel through this, and thirdly, there is an adjustable waistband/drawstring but it is a continuous drawstring meaning they are not like traditional drawstrings that have two ends to tie together.

Good luck in figuring out to cinch the drawstring without stressing the inner fabric and making the waist taut to your preference. I pulled the stretchy drawstring out as far as possible and cut with a pair of scissors to make two ends.

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this method. So all-in-all, I would recommend these.

These were about 7/8 length on me and I couldn’t zip the bottom. Returned for being too short and tight at the calves, but they are a nice style. Quite thin, so not the tights you want if you are looking for any winter warmth.

I am a small in Arcteryx, Patagonia, and other On pants so felt these ran small.

These tights fit true to size. The material is light yet warm enough for me when temperatures run around -5C – -10C. The quality is excellent. Pricey but looks like they will last.

These pants fit true to size. I live in Texas so our winters don’t get too cold but we do have cool mornings and windy days. Wore these out for a 10-miler this weekend with temps in the lower 40s and winds around 15mph with gusts higher.

My legs were comfortable the whole time. The knees on these pants are articulated with a little mesh behind it. I wasn’t sure about that design feature but after getting the pants on I didn’t notice it at all and didn’t feel my knees were cold while running.

Will definitely be using these pants through the cooler weather.

Comfy – I’d wear it to bed & all day. Water resistant – I can bike with this in the rain and my legs stay dry Big calve friendly- I have huge calves and because of how well the fabrics stretch, I don’t feel tight around my calves at all.

The mesh knee thing is also super nice; I took a barre lesson with this and it felt great =P Looks nice. If it wasn’t for the price, I’d buy multiple. 164 cm, 67 kg, size small fits really well.

I buy Under Armour ALL THE TIME and that includes pants, yoga pants, joggers etc. This style, IMO is not the quality I usually get. I normally wear a XL in their shorts, joggers etc. These pants are HUGE, they wouldn’t even stay up and they sag.

A “relaxed fit” is not the correct description. It makes you look bigger than you are. I was originally sent a 2x, had to send them back. Now I have a an Extra large that I cannot wear. Between shipping twice, I am out $40.

The drawstring is too thick and cheaply made. Just trying them on and never actually wearing, the drawstring is snagged. It’s not a true cotton drawstring but a microfiber feel. This is the first time in over 10 years I had a UA product I was ready to throw in the trash.

It’s annoying when you buy the same thing again a year or 2 later (because you liked it so much) only to find it’s not what it used to be. This new Rival, made in Cambodia, is not a patch on the old one, which was made in Malaysia.

Whereas the old seams were overlocked inside and out (so there was no flap to rub on you), these have a very basic serged seam, with the edge rubbing your thigh. They have also taken a shortcut by ditching the knee darts (which made it very comfy when you bent your knees).

Everything else: the rib-knit on the cuffs and waist, the fabric quality, and even the logo print. all a bit naff compared to its former glory. Shame.

Took me forever to find sweats that fit right – i. e. loose and comfortable. Then, I found these. All the other sweatpants manufacturers apparently think most men want sweatpants that squeeze their but and balls and fit like skinny jeans.

Not these – Under Armour got it right with this model. Great sweats!! Thanks UA!!.

The pants are warm while walking in cold weather. I love the way they fit and the way they feel. They are much higher quality material than standard cotton found in sweatpants. The waist has a nice combination of strong elastic and drawstring.

They are somewhat loose fitting but tapered and not baggy. I have several pair of sweatpants and jogging pants. These are by far my favorite. I will definitely buy them again. Although they are somewhat more expensive than some similar brands, these are surely worth the price.

Love the cut on these pants. Slim to skinny fit but stretchy and warm. Awesome shape with room in the seat but makes you look slim. Very convenient high-side cellphone pocket (every jogger should have this).

The only problem is this fabric pills like crazy only after 2 washes.

I’ve had these pants for over 3 months and these are the perfect soccer/casual pants. They are stretchy, form fitting but not tight, breathable, and sweat wicking. They look great training in the colder weather and also casual wear too.

I would love to own more than 3 pairs of these but I’ll settle for 1 pair.

I love that these pants hold in the warmth. I have heard about this feature in interviews with trainers to professional athletes. Realizing how important this is for recovery after working out, I have bought many different athletic pants and tights that advertise this feature, but I have been disappointed, everytime.

These are the real deal. I love them!.

I have larger thighs so bought the L, am 159# and wear a medium in most pants and tops/jackets. Think the M would be a tad too fitted for me, so the reviews were very helpful for me. Have extra room for fleece if the MT winters are brutal for running.

Length is terrific, they got to my ankle at 5’ 6”, love the elastic waistband and reflective trim.

I added these to my cart for some much warmer running bottoms for our extreme cold season. I just threw them in as a “meh Ill try them”, and honestly wasnt expecting to like them & would just return.

Boy was a wrong! I love them and cant wait to take my next run in them! Comfortable, not too lose like joggers, but not tight like leggings.

I love these trousers. Soft material fleecy on inside, soft and warm perfect for lounging but smart enough for running errands. I’m 5’3″ and the trousers cover the ankle perfectly. The actual blue colour is more muted and is MUCH nicer than in the picture which was a very nice surprise.

I bought black and blue and am keeping both pairs.

I bought this to wear on autumn walks and runs. It is very good quality! I got it on sale at an excellent price. I am normally take a S in Nike tops but sizes up to a M in this based on other reviews and I am glad I did.

The M fits me perfectly. Lightweight and warm.

Bought this recently & loving the colour. But if your buying this definitely size up as it’s pretty small made. I’m usually a medium & it’s more like a small. Quite neat on. Even better bought it in the sale.

Flattering vest for running or casual wear. The stretchy side panels make it really comfy, and the neck zips high enough for warmth during cold runs. Would buy again!

Bought this for my grandson and he totally loved it. Unfortunately it was to small and had to return it. Now on the hunt for a men’s sm in the same material as he has a sensory problem. He loves the under armour.

Fingers crossed this grand maman can succeed.

These are exactly what I was looking for. They are warm enough for skating on the outdoor rink but they breathe well enough to go watch the kids play hockey. Material is a bit stretchy and there is a bit more room than conventional sweat pants.

Zippers and waist band feels of good quality. I would buy again.

Nice and long. Comfy. Great for inside the house and outside. Versatile for most weather, even super cold temps when paired with long johns. They are a perfect pair of pants.

No detail too small, clear attention to design. Extremely comfortable fabric. Discreet zippered pockets a nice surprise. A terrific recovery pant. Runs small.

This review I made it a tad too late. I got this pants again (like about 6 months back before this current review) after falling in love with it the first pair I bought nearly 4 years ago. Affordability, comfort and reliability of product matter to me more than trend.

Buying this pants the second time round is a testament to how I really dig this pants. Decathlon tries to always make stuff affordable, workable and reliable. Their endeavor to always build a reliable reputation is a big win for them, and me.

Thank you as always, Decathlon people. Please keep up the good work. You people have never stop looking inside-out, outside-in to a glass house. (being experimental, being creative and being understanding to how a normal person would feel when he or she uses your products) You understand, Decathlon.

Now take a bow.

Writing this review to help others as I was sceptical when buying this being an overweight woman. I have had issues finding the perfect leggings for me to wear to gym and for running outside. I have bought so many in past and had to just dispose them off because they lacked in one thing or another.

I wanted something warm but not too thick. I decided to try these out and see if they suited me, was not that serious when I ordered but ended up loving them!! Now they’re my gym essentials! They never slip downward and stay put, around the waist.

The material keeps me warm as I live in a cold region and need to go outside a lot! The material is super soft yet sturdy. Honestly love these so much I might order the same ones again :D.

These are really comfy and warm and, as always with Decathlon, great value. They are not sold as compression tights so I shouldn’t grumble, but they do feel slightly less tight and supportive that other running bottoms I have.

Personal preference would be to have a side pocket for a phone, but the pocket in the back of the waistband is useful for keys and bank card, and has a zip. I may not be tempted to buy again, but will get good use from the pair I have.

This was my first pair of leggings, so I am not sure how they compare to others. They are comfortable and kept me warm. My only issue is that they are starting to tear around the draw string after about 3 months.

This is after some pretty heavy use (2 per week min).

These were a perfect fit, warm, flexible and comfortable but they had to be returned. They split in the middle after wearing them three times! This product should be withdrawn at the least, if not recalled! That’s totally unacceptable quality.

So I run a fair bit and so far these leggings are still going and iam into double digit runs with them so far. They are really warm sometimes a little to warm if your doing some distance, I guess my only negative comment is there are no reflective patches so running at night could be an issue but wear a torch lol but let’s not beat around the bush for the price there a bargain !!!.

Ordered online, and they are perfect fit, both length and width. Ran in them with temperatures of 0C-9C and they are perfect especially during colder times. Do get a bit warm towards warmer temperatures.

Just over 100km done in them so far with the longest run being 10k and they are very comfortable, had no chafing or any other problems. Would definitely buy again.

Unfortunately the ladies version had sold out so I bought the men’s version. Very impressed. More comfortable, warmer, washes better than brand names which can be at least 3 times more expensive. Will be purchasing more from decathlon.

These really are excellent. They’re warm even on the coldest days without being too warm. They’re really comfortable too. The reflective strips are well positioned and very bright when they catch the light too.

So I was So. Excited. For my favorite sweatshirt (the circuit crew) to come out in hoodie form. I love the circuit crew so much that I ended up with 3 of them. It’s an obsession, I know. But the fabric and the fit was just so good!! I do like the hoodie version and got it in crane (grey) in a small.

I’m 5’7, 120lbs, 25-26inch waist. I tried both the XS and S and ended up liking the small better because the kangaroo pocket scrunched up oddly on me in the XS. That being said, I feel like the S lays better but is a bit too loose.

The sleeves and cuffs aren’t as fitted as the circuit crew and I really miss the slim fit through the arms. I still love the hoodie and the internal zipper pocket in the kangaroo pocket is absolutely fantastic!! It’s a great weight for doing Anything: hiking, running in the cold, hanging out, working from home.

circuit knit is the best at Everything. It’s thin enough to layer under jackets easily or over a long sleeve but still keeps you warm. The colorful ties on the hood are a cute twist too!.

Initially bought this for loungewear, for which it is perfect for, but decided to do a night run in 30 degree weather to test out its performance. Unlike my other hoodies, the circuit hoodie didn’t get weighted down by my sweat.

It felt light like a shirt, but kept me very warm throughout. Probably one of my favorite Janji pieces.

The hoodie fit, feel, and construction is superior. I got mine on clearance. Unfortunately, there was a very visible flaw in one of the sleeves fabric. Hence clearance item I guess. I still wear it everywhere, just never seen a flaw in any of my Janji gear.

Second only to the original ones that Lululemon released. I suppose it is up to personal fit and preferences, but I prefer the originals (slimmer fit) over these. These have a more relaxed fit and have looser leg/ankle cuffs.

Great every day pants, especially for the fall/winter time.

Enjoying the pants, about 3 months old, unfortunately a couple large pin sized holes appeared recently, one on each butt cheek. Likely to get bigger and then that’ll be the end of them. I have the abc classic, abc jogger, city sweat jogger and those are all fine,, disappointed.

I bought these as a gift for my son. He said they would be very comfortable if they fit. He wears Medium in everything and that is what I got him and they were too small. And since he removed the tags, we cannot return them.

That is the frustrating part.
