Joggers are kind of like the more put-together cousin to sweatpants. They’re not as tight and potentially uncomfortable as yoga pants, and they usually look a tad nicer than sweatpants. So you can still have a large range of movement and comfort without looking too much like you just rolled out of bed. And with cargo pants being such a trendy style at the moment, it’s no wonder Target combined the two for their most recent activewear pants: cargo joggers. “Cargo” in this case just means that there are two massive pockets, so it’s a win-win for everyone (and they look so similar to a similar style from Lululemon).
One of Target’s activewear brands, All In Motion, is selling Women's Flex Woven Mid-Rise Cargo Joggers for $32 and they’re exactly what they sound like. They’re a jogger-style pant, meaning that they have an elastic waistband and elastic ankles that taper to create a sort of loose look around the hips and legs. They’re made with a “moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric with spandex.” The fabric, made of 86% recycled polyester and 14% spandex, gives wearers comfort and “4-way stretch.” And the cargo look is made possible with the two large pockets on the outer legs.

These cargo joggers come in three colors—green, black and taupe—and they come in a nice range of sizes, from XS to 4X. The pants have a UPF 50+ rating and are made for “outdoor activities, travel, everyday wear,” according to Target’s website. And shoppers really do seem to like them. The pants have a 4.5-star rating with 133 reviews.
"Buy it. Just buy it," one person titled their review, going on to say they have a pair that lasted over three years and two pregnancies. "These are some of the best pants I’ve ever owned. Comfortable, stretchy, they don’t slide down, the pockets fit full-size phones and some wallets.”
Another person wrote that they bought all three colors because they’re “amazing… lightweight, flattering and comfy.” They also noted that the pants don’t bunch up or fall down when they run or walk. One reviewer even said they’re a “good alternative to scrubs,” which is a great idea.
A couple reviews also pointed out that these joggers are pretty similar to the Dance Studio Relaxed-Fit Mid-Rise Cargo Jogger ($128) at Lululemon. They are both mid-rise and both have the cargo jogger style. The difference is the major price difference and Lululemon uses elastane instead of spandex (but the percentage of recycled polyester is exactly the same). Another lookalike product for Target’s joggers is the Endless Cargo High Rise Jogger at Athleta.

These are a similar price to Lululemon’s ($129) and even though they’re called joggers, they don’t have an elastic ankle. This makes them look a little different, but they do have the cargo pockets and look. Athleta’s Endless Cargo joggers, though, are made with the exact same fabric makeup as Target’s.
For essentially the same pant (in terms of fabric, feel amd style), Target’s Women's Flex Woven Mid-Rise Cargo Joggers are a steal at $32. So if you’ve been looking for nicer joggers or comfortable pants that look a tad more put together, these are the ones for you.
