HUGE TRY ON WORKOUT HAUL // Men's Gym Pants and Shorts // Nike, Adidas, Under Armour + MORE
About this video
McGoff conducts an extensive try-on haul of gym clothes from both smaller and major brands to find options that fit his smaller frame and provide both comfort and style. He evaluates multiple pairs of joggers, sweatpants, shorts, and training shoes from brands including Hylete, Lululemon, Under Armour, Nike, Adidas, and others, discussing fit, quality, and whether each piece works for his body type and lifting routine.
Key takeaways
- McGoff argues that gym clothes can balance both function and form, and that finding well-fitting workout apparel matters even if the primary purpose is exercise
- McGoff recommends Peter Manning weekend sweatpants as a high-quality option specifically designed for shorter men, available in 25 and 27 inch inseams
- McGoff identifies Hylete’s flexion tech pants and Adidas’s tight-fitting stretchy pants as standout finds, while noting that many major brands like Nike and Adidas offer options that can work well for smaller frames if you find the right styles
- McGoff emphasizes that oversized logos on athletic wear detract from the overall aesthetic, and he prefers smaller, more tasteful branding on his gym clothes
