Independent Trading Co makes a wide range of fleece, but the Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog carries exactly two of its pieces: the Women's Wave Wash Sweatpants and the Men's Midweight Performance Joggers. Both are built around the brand's core strength, heavyweight fleece that holds a print without warping, but they are cut for different use cases. Here is what each one actually is.
California Wave Wash is Independent Trading Co's garment-dye and wash process, which softens the fleece and gives it a slightly heathered, worn-in look straight out of the bag. It is the same finishing approach that shows up across a lot of premium loungewear, minus the premium loungewear price tag. The relaxed fit and pre-softened hand feel make it a strong choice for studio wear, off-season gym merch, and any drop aimed at comfort over a slim athletic cut.
VIP base: $39.88. Free plan base: $47.94.
The Midweight Performance Joggers use a tapered leg with a cuffed ankle, a cut aimed at everyday wear rather than a baggy sweatpant silhouette. The midweight fleece sits between a thin performance jogger and a heavyweight sweatpant, which is why it shows up in searches for both "joggers" and "sweatpants" almost interchangeably. It is a strong fit for gym merch, team travel gear, and branded everyday wear that needs to look intentional rather than like a loungewear afterthought.
VIP base: $40.88. Free plan base: $49.92.

For comparison, the catalog also carries the Jerzees Men's Pocket Sweatpants and Men's Open Bottom Sweatpants (both $40.88 VIP base), and the Cotton Heritage Unisex Premium Fleece Joggers ($48.88 VIP base). The two Independent Trading Co pieces land in the middle of that range on price, and stand out on fabric finish rather than on being the cheapest or the most expensive option in the lineup.
