Are Trackpants and sweatpants the same?

Question

I was wondering if Trackpants, and sweatpants are the same?

I have gym tomorrow, and it says to bring sweatpants, but I only have trackpants. would those be acceptable?

If not, why are they different?

Answer 1

Track pants and sweatpants aren't the same thing, but for the purposes of your gym class, your track pants will be fine.  Track pants are generally made out of thin material, they sometimes zip up on the bottom of the legs.  Sweatpants are made out of thicker material, most often cotton and are elastic on the waist.  The dorky sweatpants are elastic on the cuffs as well.  The Pink line from Victoria's Secret sells cool sweatpants.

Answer 2

I'm sure they're regarded the same, but of course sweat pants are made of thick jersey while track pants are made of polyester.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Trackpants are nylon-ish and sweatpants are usually cotton/fleece sort of. Yes those would be acceptable for gym. It's really just the material that's different but usually sweatpants are much more comfy =]

Answer 5

Answer 6
