More Information on Sweatpants Sweatpants are usually made from cotton, and the chief characteristic distinguishing them from other athletic pants is the elastic band located around the ankles. Sweatpants are traditionally ash gray in color but we carry them in a variety of colors. They are usually quite "baggy" and loose, which makes them easy to slip into (and out of) and allows a great deal of flexibility and comfort. In addition, this design traps less heat than most conventional trousers, which may be a disadvantage in some contexts (such as cold temperatures) and an advantage in others (such as body heat-increasing aerobic activities). Sweatpants are widely used in schools, sports etc because they are comfortable and keep the cold out while outside; and they also don't get too hot in warmer temperatures.
