The verdict
Fit
Expect the brand's signature relaxed, slightly boxy leg with a tapered ankle typical of its track pant silhouette.
Quality
Construction should match the brand's usual fleece/track pant standard -- decent for casual wear, not built for serious athletic use despite the track styling.
Is the price fair?
At $195, this is premium pricing for a track pant; the MLB license adds cost without necessarily adding fabric or construction quality, so a meaningful share of the price is collab and brand tax.
Best for
Collectors of the MLB collaboration or fans who want the licensed graphic specifically.
Care
Machine wash cold inside out to protect any printed graphics, then air dry.
What owners report about ESSENTIALS sweatpants
One owner's year-long wear report found the fleece held up well: no pilling on the thighs and no thinning at the knees after regular winter wear, with the boxy-at-first fit relaxing into a straighter drape after repeated washing. The main complaint was the waistband, which stretches noticeably over a day of wear and only tightens back up after washing. Care guides separately flag the fabric as delicate, recommending an inside-out cold hand wash rather than a machine wash and dry to avoid shrinkage or print damage.
