What the AI looks for in Girls' Sports & Recreation Pants
- Hem style
- Cuffed joggers suit general wear. Open or zip hems are needed to go over cleats, skates or shin guards. A cuffed ankle will not fit over sports footwear and gear.
- Fleece vs. tricot
- Brushed fleece for cold and lounging. Tricot or woven polyester for warm-ups and wet weather. Fleece is warm but absorbs water. Tricot sheds wind and drizzle and dries fast.
- Inseam and length options
- Check the inseam measurement, not only the size, for tall or petite kids. Kids often outgrow pant length long before the waist.
- Knee durability
- Look for a tighter-knit face fabric for kids who play on turf or the playground. Knees are where youth pants wear through first.
Brands that matter
- Under Armour: Warm fleece joggers in many colors.
- adidas: Tiro and three-stripe warm-up pants suited to team sports.
- Nike: Club Fleece joggers for everyday wear.
- Champion: Durable basic fleece sweatpants.
What to avoid
- Cuffed joggers when she needs to pull them over cleats or skates.
- Pure cotton sweatpants for rainy outdoor practices.
