Promising Review: "I'm a swim instructor doing 20-hour weeks in a chlorinated pool. Changing afterward leaves me damp, but these joggers keep me warm and dry. I wear this with the C9 Champion- Men's Tech Fleece Full Zip. Extraordinarily, I've left work before (damp of course) in 20-degree weather with moderate snow and brushed off my car without feeling cold. Very impressive for a lightweight jogger. Cat hair magnet though." —Sunny

Promising Review: "Better quality than any other high-end sports brand. I waited to review until I wore and washed a few times. The items do not shrink and look as good as new even after wearing and washing. They are true to size and the perfect length. I’m 6-feet and 165 pounds. They hit just below the waistband so if layered under a hoodie, they don’t stick out too far. Perfect for the gym!!! Wicks moisture amazingly well." —Ryan

Promising Review: "Nice lightweight pullover for men. My husband loves it. Product did run a little larger than expected, but not too big to return for the size down. Color is true to picture, the zipper is sturdy and added reflective strips are a nice touch for when out at night." —Shopper345

You can throw a pair of shorts or joggers over these tights and not have to worry about any unseemly pilling caused by the friction of the layers. Too bad you can't say that about your sweaters.

Promising Review: "Incredibly soft and comfortable. You wouldn't believe these aren't made of cotton. It is a little heavier, but only marginally so. Two side pockets that aren't the deepest, but aren't too shallow either. The back pocket with a zipper is a plus. I would definitely recommend these shorts." —HKim

Promising Review: "I am 5-foot-10 at about 195 lb athletic build, and the shirts fit me perfectly (size medium)! The material of the shirts feel very nice and soft, it's a little thicker, just a little, compared to other dry-fit T-shirts, and the shirt is nice and form-fitting (not tight, but not loose, moves nicely with you). Also, I like the little bit of extra length added to the shirt with the scalloped design at the hem. Your shirt won't ride up and expose anything while you work out or stretch." —Nsworkout

Promising Review: "I actually got this for my fiancé before we went on a mini weekend trip, it’s perfect if you’re looking for something very lightweight, he just wore a T-shirt under it and it was perfect for the weekend!" —FrankieJ

Like any good piece of workout wear, these mid-rise, 9-inch inseam shorts with side pockets are constructed from moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and odor-resistant fabric.

Promising Review: "This is a fantastically crafted hoodie. It has a warmth and softness to it that can't be beaten. Note this hoodie is not super light so if you're looking for more of a windbreaker type of jacket this is not for you. Incredibly comfortable. Like settling into the third year of marriage." —DigitOwl
Get it from Target for $24.99 (available in sizes S-2XL and four colors).
Promising Review: "It has a great fit and hang. It feels great. It also has two huge interior pockets (great idea!). The exterior pockets have nice zippers. They're not very deep, but the interior pockets (no zippers) make up for whatever space you might need. The jacket is lightweight, and as with their whole line, super soft, with a nice stretch. It looks good from all angles. The back hangs in a very flattering way." —Vegasman

You know your work socks can't double as your workout socks. That's because they aren't made with "X-Temp technology" that "adapts to your body temperature and activity to help keep you comfortable."
Get it from Target for $9.49 (available in sizes 6-12 and two color ranges).
Promising Review: "These are great. I especially like the zippered pockets. They are just the right length and are really comfortable for all-day wear. I recently wore them to one of the large theme parks in Orlando. They were very comfortable and kept everything secure. I will buy some more soon. My favorite part about them is that they are not too long. I was really getting tired of all the shorts for guys that go down to the knees. Very unnecessary." —Retrolover

Promising Review: "This sleeveless T-shirt has really nice fabric, way better than what most other brands carry for a similar price. It's very soft and breathable, only thing that would make it better are ventilation holes in certain areas to improve air flow. The fit on this T-shirt is a little odd though, there's zero taper from chest to bottom hem so it's quite wide throughout, which might not be an issue if you have a wide stomach, but if your waist is on the small side, it looks a bit baggy. Still is a comfortable sleeveless T-shirt though, and sizing in the chest seems fairly true to size, maybe slightly big but not enough to size down unless you're in between sizes. Length is also a bit long, but I like that as I'm on the taller side. Overall is great value, but the design could be slightly improved for men with athletic builds. Tank tops(with scoop neck) made of the same fabric and a slightly more athletic cut would be excellent as well." —Eric

This isn't your ordinary T-shirt, what with its flat seams, stretchy moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric, and odor-resistant treatment, but it sure is priced like one.
Get it from Target for $9.60+ (available in sizes S-XXL and 10 colors).
Promising Review: "Fabric is soft and very expensive looking. Easy silhouette with a nice twist of the longer hem in back. Modern fit. The neck is normal on this one (most other All In Motion tops have super wide necks). I bought the blue-grey and will pick up more colors. Want to check out the hoodie and bottoms in matching fabric." —Peanut28204

OK, if you made it this far you know the score: secure back zip pocket, two side pockets, lightweight, stretchy, quick-drying and moisture-wicking fabric. Also, these joggers are 100% polyester, which might be a deal-maker or deal-breaker.
