Gone are the days of that ubiquitous lululemon logo living solely on the lower backs of die-hard yogis. Sure, yoga pants have and likely always will be a top seller for the athletic-gear retailer—lululemon’s yoga roots run deep.
But you’d be doing your body a great disservice by not checking out the brand’s other offerings. Button-downs, hoodies, outerwear, t-shirts, and swim trunks barely scratch the surface. As for today, though? Today is all about the best lululemon joggers for men.
Yes, there are multiple types of joggers. Some are super technical and made for running and working out. Others have the city-dweller in mind. And some, of course, are strictly there to make sure your couch-riding, series-binging experience is a cozy one. There aren’t many brands doing it better than lululemon right now, so let’s get into it and treat those legs of yours to the best of the best.
Choose wisely. Or better yet, choose them all.
Key Takeaways
To find the best lululemon joggers for men, I began by reviewing all of the various styles, fits, and materials, plus customer reviews, photos, and detailed specifications.
The resulting five pairs on this list are the best of the best based on factors that include but aren’t limited to comfort, style, material composition, durability, and construction.
My top overall pick based on those considerations is the handsome and versatile ABC Jogger, followed closely by the active lifestyle-friendly Surge Jogger.
Our Top Picks
Why it’s great: The ABC is one of lululemon’s first efforts in the men’s jogger space. It’s a super versatile pair that’s more form than function—though it’s far from lacking in the latter. The material provides plenty of stretch to give you ample range of motion throughout the day.
The ABC’s elastic drawcord is hidden around the waistband giving you the function of a drawstring without the in-your-face appearance. Deep front and back pockets and a handsome taper around the ankle round a few of the features that give these joggers an effortlessly tied-together look.
How it feels: The ABC’s fabric composition is designed to maintain breathability while wicking away sweat and helping fight odor. All of this function is humming within a cozy, flexible pant composed of recycled polyester and elastomultiester.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: These are the definition of athleisure in that they perfectly toe the line between form and function. They’re your zip-up-a-hoodie-and-make-a-coffee-run pants. Your casual brunch pants. Your beer garden pants. But what they aren’t are your workout pants.
Sure, they can hang for a while, but if you’re picking these joggers up for the purposes of breaking a sweat, you’re better off going with one of lululemon’s more technical offerings.
Material: 52% Recycled Polyester, 48% Elastomultiester | Colors: 7 | Sizes: XS-XXL | Activity: Everyday living
Why it’s great: Designed specifically with running in mind, the Surge Jogger should be your first stop if you’re in the market for comfort and thoughtful run-specific details. For starters, they’re super lightweight.
Beyond that, the four-way stretch nylon and elastane material does an excellent job of wicking away sweat to keep you dry during your run. Secure pockets and a reflective material further sweeten the pot, and the Surge is cut in such a way that gives your glutes and thighs plenty of room while you’re working out.
How it feels: Have you ever chewed 5 Gum? Wait, no. Ever walked around pantless? Never mind. These analogies may not be working out, but suffice it to say that lululemon’s Surge Jogger is every bit as lightweight and comfortable as you’d expect.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The technical aspects of these joggers put them in a niche category that won’t be practical for all occasions. To perfect your jogger game, you’ll need to pick up a pair of Surge Joggers and a different pair for casual, everyday wear.
Material: 79% Recycled nylon, 21% Xtra life lycra® elastane | Colors: 8 | Sizes: XS-5XL | Activity: Running, Sports
Why it’s great: Which brings us to the best lululemon joggers for men in the lounging category. Nope, not sweatpants—I’m talking about the Classic-Fit Fleece Jogger. What this pair lacks in technical aspects it more than makes up for in pillowy soft comfort.
The stretch fleece fabric offers room around the thighs and features a subtle taper around the ankle, especially when compared with some of the other joggers on this list. Along with your favorite hoodie, this is the pair you reach for when the night calls for nothing more than a crackling fire and your favorite show. And maybe a few other things, but I trust you can take it from here.
How it feels: Picture yourself wrapped up in a warm, soft, fleece blanket on a crisp fall evening. Nice, right? Now picture that same feeling but… only on your legs. Fine, it’s tough to compete with full-body fleece. But if anything’s going to give that feeling a run for its money, it’s these fleece beauties.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Classic-Fit Fleece Jogger is another niche pant that’s not going to translate very well outside of the house. It also lacks technical performance features which is something to keep in mind if those are important to you.
Material: 97% Recycled polyester, 3% Elastane | Colors: 1 | Sizes: XS-XXL | Activity: Lounging
Why it’s great: When I envision an everyday jogger, one of the first things that comes to mind is transition. From your shower to the coffee shop. From the coffee shop to the gym. From the gym to… you get it. They should be up for anything and keep you looking your best throughout the day.
The City Sweat Jogger does just that with its stretch French terry fabric and choice of five standout colors. You’ve got the usual roster of performance features like quick-drying, breathable fabric combined with the handsome aesthetics you’ve come to expect from lululemon.
How it feels: Part of what sets lululemon joggers apart from others is the brand’s universal focus on comfort regardless of what their intended use. This pair is no exception and even ups the comfort ante with a plush French terry fabric.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: Like the Classic-Fit Fleece Jogger, the City Sweat has a tapered leg that has a tendency to bunch up if not sized correctly. If you like a streamlined fit throughout the leg, there are other options out there that may better suit you.
Material: 52% Polyester, 42% Cotton, 6% Lycra® elastane | Colors: 5 | Sizes: XS-5XL | Activity: Running errands, beach-bar day-drinking, casual everyday living
Why it’s great: Like all of the joggers on this list, the At Ease Jogger is brimming with useful features to help you break a sweat without looking like you’ve just broken a sweat.
And while the slim fit and classic taper certainly don’t hurt things in the aesthetics department, it’s the textured fabric that sets these guys over the edge in terms of good looks. Though it’s available in two colorways, the lighter option pops in a way that’ll make you stand out in all the right ways.
How it feels: A blend of cotton, polyester, and elastane combine forces to keep things easy breezy in terms of comfort. The textured pattern also lends a bit of heft to the otherwise lightweight fabric.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The At Ease Jogger is comparable to the City Sweat and Classic-Fit Fleece in that they’re built for form and comfort over performance. Any other critique of these joggers would be an exercise in hair-splitting.
Material: 63% Cotton, 32% Polyester, 5% Elastane | Colors: 2 | Sizes: XS-XXL | Activity: Coffee runs, walking the dog, casual beer garden happy hours
Buying Considerations for The Best lululemon Joggers For Men
Activity
In order to figure out the best materials and features for you, you’ll first need to pin down what you’ll be doing the most in your joggers. If you plan on working out, you can then look for increased breathability, odor-fighting, and sweat-wicking properties. If lounging is more your speed, prioritize comfortable fabrics like French terry and fleece and take whatever you can get in the performance category.
Style
Unlike sweatpants or even a full sweatsuit, joggers can take on an elevated yet effortlessly cool look if paired up with the right outfit. Some joggers feature more of a form-fitting taper, for instance, while others err on the loose side. Also look for standout details like the kind of eye-catching texture you’ll find on lululemon’s At Ease Jogger.
Size & Fit
Not many brands can compete with lululemon’s impressive range of lengths, sizes, and opportunities for customization. Rather than settle for a cookie cutter size that may or may not flatter your lower half, you can choose between three lengths and available sizes up to 5XL. Short of ordering a bespoke pair of jeans or pants, you won’t find many brands out there with the same level of dedication to versatile and inclusive sizes and fits.
