Fleece Sweatpants for Men: What to Stock in Your Gym Shop

April 13, 2026 5 min read By Cameron Wells

Quick Answer

The catalog carries three men's-oriented fleece bottoms: two Jerzees sweatpant styles and one Independent Trading Co. jogger.
The Jerzees Men's Pocket Sweatpants adds functional pockets, a common request from a men's audience.
All three run $40.88 VIP base, so the choice comes down to hem style and pocket preference, not price.
The unisex Cotton Heritage jogger is a valid fourth option if a shop wants one style across genders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Men's fleece sweatpants searches split mainly into cuffed jogger fit versus classic open-bottom fit, plus a strong preference for pockets. Here is what the Bear Grips catalog carries for a men's-focused shop, and how to decide between the options.

The Men's Fleece Bottoms Options

Style	Brand	Hem	Pockets	VIP base
Men's Pocket Sweatpants	Jerzees	Open bottom	Yes	$40.88
Men's Open Bottom Sweatpants	Jerzees	Open bottom	Check product page	$40.88
Men's Midweight Performance Joggers	Independent Trading Co.	Cuffed	Check product page	$40.88

All three sit at the same $40.88 VIP base price, so the decision comes down to fit and features rather than budget.

Why Pockets Matter More Than People Think

"Fleece sweatpants" searches skew heavily toward functional, everyday wear, phone in one pocket, keys in the other, rather than a purely athletic look. The Jerzees Men's Pocket Sweatpants is built with this in mind and tends to outsell a pocket-less style for a general men's audience, particularly for older or more practical-minded customers.

Jogger vs Open Bottom for a Men's Audience

The cuffed Independent Trading Co. jogger reads more current and athletic, popular with a younger, fitness-forward customer base. The open-bottom Jerzees styles read as a classic, no-frills sweatpant, which tends to appeal to a broader age range. A shop unsure which to pick can start with the Jerzees Pocket Sweatpants for its practical appeal, then add the jogger as a second SKU. See the joggers vs sweatpants comparison for the full breakdown of the two hem styles.

Pairing and Pricing for a Men's Line

Pair any of the three bottoms with the Champion Performance Hoodie ($45.88 VIP base) or the Classic Zip-Up Hoodie ($41.88 VIP base) for a full men's fleece set. At a $10 to $12 markup, a men's sweatpant retails comfortably around $50 to $53. List the full set at Bear Grips Pro Shops and see the profit margin guide for the full pricing breakdown.
