Gucci vs Prada: which sweatpant wins?

Both sit at the $980 top of this band, so there's no price gap to weigh: Gucci's Web-stripe jogger leans on the house Web stripe and GG detailing in a relaxed fit, while Prada's triangle-logo pant is minimal, with a clean cut, enamel triangle logo, and possibly technical jersey. The choice is loud heritage codes versus stripped-back minimalism.

Which should you buy?
At the same $980, this is purely taste, not value. Pick the Gucci if you want recognisable Web-stripe and GG branding doing the talking in a relaxed cut. Pick the Prada if you'd rather a minimal pant where a small triangle logo is the only flourish. Reviewers say the jersey doesn't justify the price for either, so buy the house codes you'd actually want to wear, loud Gucci or quiet Prada.
