Fatherhood is a non-stop adventure, and finding the right balance between comfort and style is the goal for all of us, right? Fortunately, BYLT Basics has created one of their most versatile and comfortable products – the BYLT Active Joggers.
I think back to what my parents were wearing in their early 40’s and this wasn’t it. I’m thankful to be living in the time of athleisure and comfort.
Whether it’s coaching my son’s basketball team, running errands on the weekend (hello, Costco) or working from home, wearing something comfortable is priority.
So over the 2023 holidays, when the sales were popping, I recently took a dive into BYLT Premium Basics. I already own items from competitors Public Rec, Vuori, and others, but I have to admit, these BYLT Basics pieces are coming in hot.
While I’ve already reviewed the BYLT Coastal Overshirt, I’m turning my focus now to the BYLT Active Joggers.
Why the BYLT Active Joggers Rise to the Top
Material Marvels: A Blend of Comfort and Performance
At the heart of BYLT Active Joggers lies their blend of materials – 47% Viscose, 47% Nylon, and 6% Spandex.
This blend, according to the company, combined with the Elite+ Fabric, provides the Ultimate Soft-Touch Micro-Knit comfort.
What do those fancy words mean? They’re comfortable. That’s all you really need to know.
These joggers offer an ideal mix of comfort, flexibility, and durability, making them my go-to choice for various activities, from coaching my kids’ athletic practices to WFH days. The 4-way ultra-stretch flexibility ensures a full range of movement (since I’m for sure not the model’s size) which highlights the versatility of these joggers for the busy life of a parent.
I’m 6′ tall and weigh about 220 and the XL fit quite well.
Style Redefined: Versatility with a Contemporary Twist
Parenting shouldn’t mean sacrificing style, thankfully we’re living through the comfort revolution. While BYLT Basics isn’t necessarily marketed toward parents, the clothing adapts to our lifestyle quite well.
The performance grade slim-fit design of the Active Joggers offers a contemporary look that effortlessly transitions from a morning run to a casual coffee shop meeting.
The True-Tone Color Lock ensures that the vibrant hues stay intact, wear after wear. Mine have already been through a few wash cycles and the color and vibrancy is still there. Additionally, there hasn’t been any shrink, which is a common concern of mine.
Further enhancing the modern style is the upgraded perfect-fit ankle opening, making these joggers not just activewear but a stylish alternative to standard guy boxy sweat pants for dads.
Comfort for Every Move: Designed for the Active Parent
Being an active parent requires activewear that keeps up with constant movement.
According to the company, the light-knit durability and comfort waistband in BYLT Active Joggers are designed precisely for this purpose.
The stretchy fabric and tailored fit ensure unrestricted movement, allowing you to chase after little ones, play catch, go for a jog, or handle daily chores with ease.
The no-slip drawstring adds an extra layer of convenience. I frequently don’t tie mine when I’m just relaxing or out for a neighborhood walk. When I get weighed down by keys, phone and other items while out and about, I tend to need to tie them for some additional strength.

Affordable Quality: Premium Features at a (somewhat) Reasonable Price
BYLT Active Joggers attempt to strike a balance between quality and affordability.
Priced at $100 these joggers certainly feel like a premium product that could justify that price point. That said, I do give a second thought of spending that much on a pair of joggers.
Thatʻs why when they went on sale for 30% off, I scooped up three pairs.
They come with features such as the subtle side seam zippered pocket, providing a small amount of storage without compromising style. This pocket is not designed for bulky items. Chapstick, credit cards, drivers license, maybe a small key or two are the limits but it works for what it is.
Parents have lots of expenses. These pants may not fit seamlessly into the family budget, but if you find them on sale I would highly recommend getting a pair. They are as comfortable as anything I own and have become a go-to staple of my weekend wardrobe.
Wash & Care: Keep It Simple, Keep It Fresh
Taking care of your BYLT Active Joggers is as straightforward as it gets.
Machine wash cold with like colors, use only non-chlorine bleach if needed, and lay flat to dry. Cool iron if needed. These care instructions, according to the company, ensure your joggers maintain their shape, color, and softness, standing up to the demands of your parenting adventures.
So far, I have not had any issues due to washing or care.
Colorful Choices: Express Yourself in 10 Vibrant Hues
Adding to the appeal of BYLT Active Joggers is their extensive color range. Currently available in 10 colors, these joggers allow you to choose the shade that complements your mood, style, and the vibe of your day.
I currently own Navy, Charcoal and Taupe. A dark, middle and light pair to coordinate with whatever Iʻd like.
Whether you prefer classic neutrals or bold pops of color, (even a few seasonals upon occasion) there’s a hue for everyone’s taste, ensuring you not only feel good but look good too.
Should You Jump Into the BYLT Family?
In the realm of activewear, the marketplace is getting crowded, fast.
Iʻve found BYLT Basics to be a strong blend of comfort, style and price. I have quickly built an athleisure wardrobe around their products.
To date, I’ve purchased three pairs of the Active Joggers, three Elite + Pullovers, three Coastal Overshirts, three pairs of the BYLT Pant and socks.
The BYLT Active Joggers stand out as a commendable choice for anyone, including parents, seeking a blend of comfort, style, and durability.
With thoughtful design, quality materials like the Elite+ Fabric, and somewhat high pricing (but with excellent sales), these joggers cater to the multifaceted lifestyle of modern parents.
Iʻve been trying to elevate my daily wardrobe and routine with BYLT Basics and so far have not regretted one purchase.
