Public Rec's Gamechanger Joggers balance a comfortable fit and a polished look unlike any other sweats I've worn

Jogger pants, typically characterized by their tapered fit and at-the-ankle cut, are a trendy alternative to wide-legged sweatpants — and they appeal to more than just runners.

They're neater, better for showing off your sneakers, and closer in style to the slim, skinny, or tapered pants men usually wear.

While just about any pair of joggers worth considering will have a better fit than basic sweatpants, popular men's athleisure brand Public Rec makes it even easier to get the perfect fit with its Gamechanger Jogger.

Inspired by the brand's bestselling Gamechanger Pant, the Public Gamechanger Jogger features the same great attributes, such as exact sizing and performance materials.

The materials

Public Rec Gamechanger Joggers are made out of a blend of spandex and nylon, which makes them lightweight and stretchy, yet durable. They're available in seven colors — Fog, Stone Grey, Navy, Black, Heather Charcoal, Dark Olive, and Heather Navy.

What they're like to wear

I originally tested the All Day Every Day Jogger (Public Rec's previous name for the Gamechanger Jogger) in 2020 and and they quickly became my most-worn pants. As soon as I put on the new Gamechanger Jogger, I was immediately reminded why I loved the originals so much. It's the same exact design with a new name.

Unlike other sweatpants that come in basic alpha sizes (small, medium, large, and so on), Public Rec's Gamechanger Joggers use waist and inseam sizes like traditional pant styles, such as jeans or dress pants, to achieve the perfect fit. Additionally, the waist has a drawstring for more adjustability. Regardless of your body size or type, you won't struggle with sizing.

Over the years, I've used them for traveling, lounging around at home, working out at the gym, bike rides, and running errands. Really, anywhere I'd want to wear sneakers and a T-shirt for comfort, the Gamechanger Joggers have been a go-to style for me.

Aside from the fit and finish, I really appreciate the zippered front and back pockets because they keep valuables like my phone and wallet secure. Sweatpants usually have loose or shallow pockets, but you won't have to worry about losing your belongings with these, especially if you're bustling through a busy airport or doing physical activity. They're comfortable but not sloppy.

The bottom line

Public Rec's Gamechanger Joggers are great for people who value comfort and versatility without sacrificing fit and style. Whether you normally live an active lifestyle with lots of traveling, you want a pair of workout joggers that actually look good in the real world, or you simply want perfectly-fitted joggers for lounging around at home, they're worth adding to your wardrobe.
