Quality cargo sweats for women?

December 2, 2013 11:20 AM

My girlfriend was amazed that my sweatpants have cargo pockets. She bemoans the fact that women's sweatpants usually have zero or fewer pockets. She would love a pair like mine in a more feminine cut. I'd like to find some to give her at Christmas. They will mostly be used as loungewear so I don't think I want to go the "fashion sweats" route that cost upwards of $80, but at the same time I'm sure she will wear them out occasionally when running errands so I don't want them poorly made. I think this style is close to what she likes, but with more pockets. Features she desires: POCKETS, no elastic ankles, prefer no logos/names, warm - prefer a thicker material than the thin jersey type. She is more on the petite side if that matters for selection. I am in the US (Wisconsin) and can order online or buy brick and mortar. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What about these Lily White sweats?

Best answer: LL Bean has some, and they have a men's version made of somewhat thicker material.

I have these Laura Scott fleece lined sweats from Sears. They come with side pockets and a cargo pocket. Surprisingly good quality and thick. They also have petite sizes. If you watch for sales you could probably get several in different colors.

I just got these Tranquility pants from Athleta. They are more a jean style than a cargo style (2 pockets in front and 2 in back), and also they are expensive, but they are SO INCREDIBLY WARM AND COMFY!!!

Duluth Trading Company has nice women's sweatpants and other knit pants with pockets.

Response by poster: I like the look and quality of the LL Bean pants. I ordered a pair (unfortunately they were out of the heather gray). I think she will love them. Thank you all for your help.
