Womens Active Trace Track Pant

$175as of Jul 13, 2026 — check current price at ESSENTIALS

The verdict

A tough sell at $175 for a track pant; reasonable mainly for shoppers specifically loyal to this brand.

Fit

Track pant styling typically means a slimmer, tapered leg with an elastic or drawstring waist; true to size should work for most body types.

Quality

The knitwear tag suggests a technical or brushed-back fabric, but without a fabric spec, expect construction in line with the brand's general activewear-adjacent basics rather than true performance gear.

Is the price fair?

At $175 this is the priciest sweatpant-style item here, and that price is driven largely by the brand name rather than any confirmed technical fabric advantage.

Best for

Someone who wants a track-pant silhouette with brand recognition and isn't comparison shopping against dedicated athletic brands.

Care

Wash cold and avoid fabric softener if the pant has any moisture-wicking finish, since softener can coat and reduce that function.

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.
