Gymshark vs Adidas: which sweatpant to buy, and when
Both land in the mid tier: the Gymshark Crest Jogger at $60, the Adidas Tiro / Trefoil Track Pant at $65, $5 apart. Here is how they stack up, head to head.
| Gymshark | Adidas | |

| Best for | Training, slim athleisure looks, and gym-to-street wear. | Sporty recognisable looks, training (Tiro) or lifestyle (Trefoil), and athleisure outfits. |
| Care | Cold wash inside-out and tumble low to keep the fit and protect the print. | Cold wash and tumble low; the technical fabrics dry fast. |
Gymshark's Crest Jogger at $60 is a slim ~9oz cotton/poly fleece jogger; Adidas's Tiro/Trefoil Track Pant at $65 comes in either recycled-poly technical (Tiro) or cotton-blend fleece (Trefoil). The extra $5 buys the three-stripe heritage and a choice of fabric, not a warmth or quality upgrade.

VerdictThe pick
Buy the Gymshark if you specifically want a slim, brushed-fleece jogger for training and like the understated tonal branding. Pay the extra $5 for the Adidas if you want the three-stripe look or need the technical Tiro's recycled-poly build for actual sport. Match the Adidas line to the use: Tiro for training, Trefoil for lifestyle. The gap is small enough that fabric preference and branding should decide it.
