"Sweatpants with pockets" is one of the most consistently searched apparel features, for a simple reason: a lot of sweatpants do not have them, and buyers notice. Here is the practical guide to the Jerzees Pocket Sweatpants at Bear Grips Pro Shops, including fit notes for both men's and women's buyers on a team or gym roster.

What the Jerzees Pocket Sweatpants Actually Offer

The Pocket Sweatpants add side pockets to the standard Jerzees Nublend cut, with an elastic waist and cuffed leg opening. Pockets sit at the hip, deep enough for a phone or a set of keys without adding bulk to the silhouette. This is the more requested of the two Jerzees styles for buyers who want to wear sweatpants outside the house, run errands, or carry a phone during a workout.

How the Fit Works for Men's and Women's Orders

The catalog lists this piece as a men's cut, with a relaxed, true-to-size fit through the waist and hip. In practice, gyms and teams commonly order it across a full roster including women, since the loose, unisex-leaning silhouette works for most body types without a separate women's-specific pattern. Buyers who prefer a closer fit through the leg should expect a roomier cut than a fitted women's jogger.

Pocket Sweatpants vs the Open Bottom Style

Best forErrands, phone/keys storage, daily wearA cleaner, straighter silhouette

Same price either way, so the choice comes down to whether buyers want storage or a straighter leg line. Many shops stock both and let buyers pick.

Why Pocket Sweatpants Tend to Sell Better

Across gym and team merch shops, pocket styles consistently outsell pocket-free cuts when both are offered side by side, since buyers want to carry a phone or keys without a bag. If a shop can only stock one Jerzees sweatpants style to start, the Pocket Sweatpants is the safer first choice for most audiences, with the Open Bottom style added later based on demand.
