Our Ranked Picks for Track Pants for Men in India
MotorBae: MB Essentials Sweatpants
Fabric: 260 GSM terry | 90% cotton, 10% polyester | ₹899Most people buying track pants for men in winter actually want sweatpants: soft, warm, and good enough to leave the house in. The MB Essentials sweatpants are exactly that. The 260 GSM terry has looped inners that feel soft against the skin, the loose fit gives room to move, and the only branding is the MB insignia, so they pair with any tee or hoodie. MotorBae makes them in black, sizes S to XL.
To be clear, MotorBae does not make polyester sports track pants or full tracksuit sets. Pair the sweatpants with a hoodie for the tracksuit look, or see rank 02 onwards for gym-focused options.
Decathlon
Purpose-built track pants for running, training and football, in quick-drying fabrics with zipped pockets. The sensible pick if they are going to the gym more than to the cafe.
Adidas and Puma
The heritage tracksuit names, with matching jackets and track pants and the retro side stripes that never go out of style. If you want a proper track suit for mens wardrobes, start here.
Jockey
Comfortable cotton track pants that most Indian households already trust for lounging and sleep. Simple, durable, and easy to find.
H&M
Slim and tapered joggers in a wide colour range, good for a neater, sportier look with sneakers.
Types of Track Pants for Men
Sweatpants
Heavier cotton or cotton-rich terry or fleece, usually with a relaxed or loose leg. The warmest and most comfortable, and the best choice for winter and travel.
Joggers
Tapered towards the ankle with a cuffed hem. Neater than sweatpants and show off sneakers well.
Sport track pants
Lightweight polyester, quick-drying, often with zipped pockets and side stripes. Built for training, not lounging.
Tracksuits
A matching jacket and track pant. Mens tracksuits are back in fashion as a full look, and a matching hoodie and sweatpants set gives a softer version of the same idea.
Not riding pants. No track pant protects you on a motorcycle. Riders need riding pants with abrasion-resistant fabric and knee armour; our riding gear guide explains what to look for.
Fabric: What to Look For
| Fabric | Feels Like | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| French terry | Soft, looped inside, breathable | All-day wear, most of the year |
| Fleece | Brushed, very warm | Cold North Indian winters |
| Polyester tricot | Smooth, slightly shiny | Sport and classic tracksuits |
| Cotton jersey | Light, soft | Lounging and sleep |
Weight matters as much as fibre. A 260 GSM terry like MotorBae's holds its shape at the knee and does not go see-through when it stretches, which is where cheap track pants fail first. A little polyester in the blend helps the fabric keep its shape and colour.
Fit: Loose, Straight or Tapered
Loose and relaxed fits are the current streetwear look and pair with oversized tees and hoodies. Tapered joggers look sportier and neater with fitted tops. Whatever you choose, check the length: the hem should break lightly at the shoe, not pool around the ankle, and an elastic or drawstring waist should sit comfortably without needing to be pulled tight.
If you like the relaxed look but want something more structured, cargo pants for men give a similar silhouette with more pockets; see our cargo pants style guide.
Which Track Pants for Which Day
| Occasion | Best Choice | Wear It With |
|---|---|---|
| Gym or run | Polyester sport track pants | Training tee, running shoes |
| Work from home | Cotton terry sweatpants | Regular fit tee |
| Flight or long drive | Loose sweatpants or joggers | Hoodie and a cap |
| Car meet or cafe | Black sweatpants | Oversized car tee, white sneakers |
| Cold winter evening | Fleece or heavy terry | 300 GSM hoodie |
Five Quick Quality Checks
- The waistband: a wide, firm elastic with a real drawstring stays comfortable all day; a thin band rolls over.
- The knees: stretch the fabric over your knee. If you can see through it, it will bag and thin out fast.
- The pockets: deep enough for a phone so it does not slide out when you sit in a car.
- The seams: flat, even stitching on the inner leg, where most cheap pairs split first.
- The weight: heavier terry or fleece holds its shape far longer than thin jersey. If the GSM is listed, use it to compare.
How to Style Track Pants So They Look Intentional
- The soft tracksuit: black sweatpants with a matching black hoodie. The MB Essentials sweatpants and the Classic Hoodie share the same understated MB styling.
- The car meet casual: sweatpants, an oversized car tee and clean white sneakers. Try the SF-26 oversized tee or the Autobahn Missiles oversized tee.
- The travel fit: joggers or sweatpants, a regular fit tee, a hoodie tied or carried, and a cap. Comfortable for a long drive or a flight.
- The summer swap: when it is too hot, mens shorts in the same fabric, such as the 260 GSM terry shorts at ₹799.

Sizing Track Pants Online
Sizing is where most online track pant orders go wrong, because waist sizes are rarely printed on elastic-waist bottoms. Measure a pair you already like: lay them flat, measure across the waistband unstretched, and measure the inside leg from crotch to hem. Compare those numbers with the product page rather than relying on S, M or L alone. If you prefer a slouchy fit, go one size up; if you are between sizes in a loose cut like the MB Essentials sweatpants, your usual size will already have room. MotorBae accepts size exchanges within 7 days of delivery on unworn pieces with tags.
Care
Wash track pants and sweatpants inside out in cold water and skip high-heat drying, which shrinks cotton and breaks down elastic waistbands faster than anything else. Terry and fleece pill less if washed with similar fabrics rather than with jeans and towels.
Comfort First, Then Fit
For everyday wear in an Indian winter, the best track pants for men are heavy cotton-rich sweatpants, and MotorBae's 260 GSM MB Essentials sweatpants at ₹899 are our first pick. For the gym go to Decathlon, and for a classic tracksuit go to Adidas or Puma.
