Costco has a pair of dupes that are phenomenal - check out if they aren’t sold out of black.

I like the Lululemon ones. They have zipped pockets and ankle hems.

I save money by focusing on that. Even if it’s $94.

Old navy is good but may not hold up to 200 wears.

I've found Old Navy's leggings to be great and they've lasted me forever. I haven't tried their joggers, though.

I have tried Old Navy, vuori, and Athleta thin joggers. I like the Old Navy athlete ones best in fall and winter. They have nice wide waist band and don't roll when sitting or working out. They don't "breathe" quite as much as the others, which I like to keep me warm in cooler weather. I wear them lunging and also jogging in cooler weather. After about a year of wearing once or twice a week they have kept their shape and still look the same as new.

The Athleta are more matte and breathe a little better. They've gotten a little stretched out and pilly after many washes.

The Vuori were the worst. I returned them because the fabric was paper thin and clinged weirdly. They seemed like they would rip easily. I got them from REI, not Amazon, so I don't think they were fake.

I also have thicker Old Navy joggers that are more like sweatpants that I wear around the house and running errands but not exercise. The pockets have zippers and they're so comfy. Much preferred over my more expensive lounge options.

Another rec for Quince’s knock off

Cozy Earth, the bamboo ones. Get them on sale.

Ok, Ethel. After I finish my ironing for the day, I'll break out my sewing machine and whip up some joggers.

I genuinely don't know if this is a joke or not...

This is the answer. They wear just as well. I almost prefer my quince pairs.

I’m done with myself. Exhausted.

Well ... it sounds like it is yourself that you need to be done with. So ... good? Maybe you will be less "exhausted"?

Do you do this? Sew your own clothes? Because if you do, you know it isn't the easiest thing in the world to learn (although joggers are easier than most things). And you need a sewing machine, and supplies, etc.
