Adidas vs REI Co-op: which sweatpant wins?
Both land in the mid tier — the Adidas Tiro / Trefoil Track Pant at $65, the REI Co-op Co-op Fleece Jogger at $65. Here's how they stack up, head to head.
| Adidas | REI Co-op | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $65 | $65 |
| Material | Recycled polyester (Tiro) or cotton-blend fleece (Trefoil), mid-weight. | Cotton-blend fleece, ~10oz, brushed interior. |
| Fit | Tapered athletic fit, true to size; technical versions slimmer. | Clean functional tapered fit, true to size. |
| Quality | Solid mid-tier — dependable construction, recognisable three-stripe detailing. | Solid mid-tier — warm dependable fleece, tidy construction. |
| Best for | Sporty recognisable looks, training (Tiro) or lifestyle (Trefoil), and athleisure outfits. | Warm everyday joggers, outdoor-casual wear, and co-op members. |
| Care | Cold wash and tumble low; the technical fabrics dry fast. | Wash cold and tumble low to preserve the fleece and the clean cut. |
Adidas's Tiro/Trefoil Track Pant at $65 leans sporty and branded; REI's Co-op Fleece Jogger at the same $65 is a plain, warm ~10oz cotton-blend fleece. Same price, opposite intent: three-stripe athletic style versus quiet outdoor-casual warmth.
Recognisable three-stripe styling, technical Tiro option, sporty versatile look, dependable construction
Warmer ~10oz fleece, clean unbranded look, member dividend value, outdoor-casual comfort
Which should you buy?
At $65 each, buy the Adidas if you want the three-stripe sporty look or the technical Tiro for training. Go with the REI if you'd rather have a warmer ~10oz fleece with no loud branding, and the member dividend sweetens it further if you're a co-op member. This is athletic identity versus understated warmth, not a price decision. Pick the REI for cold-weather lounging, the Adidas for sport and street.
