Training Classic Flare Sweatpant

Sweatpants

$155as of Jul 13, 2026 — check current price at ESSENTIALS

The verdict

A costly pick for a training sweatpant; reasonable only if you specifically want this cut and the brand name.

Fit

Likely relaxed through the seat with a flare or slightly wider leg opening, consistent with the brand's classic silhouette; true to size is a safe bet.

Quality

The training label suggests a fabric meant to handle more movement, but at this price expect solid mid-to-heavyweight construction typical of the brand's seasonal lines rather than dedicated technical fabric.

Is the price fair?

$155 is on the high end for a sweatpant, and much of that reflects the brand name rather than technical training features you'd find in dedicated athletic wear.

Best for

Someone who wants a brand-name training-style sweatpant for casual or light activewear use, not serious performance training.

Care

Machine wash cold and air dry when possible to preserve any moisture-wicking or stretch properties.

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.

Strengths: A long-term owner reported no pilling on the thighs or thinning at the knees even after a year of regular winter wear.
Watch out for: The waistband is reported to stretch noticeably over the course of a day and only tighten back up after washing.
Sizing: The cut starts boxy and wide in the leg and relaxes into a straighter drape after repeated washing and wear.
