The other day, my wife sent me to the store to purchase some sweat pants for her.  And while I had never shopped for sweat pants before, I was fairly sure that they could be found in the clothing section and not the sporting goods isles.

After a little searching, I found them in the center of the clothing area right in between the men’s sections and the women’s section.  This made sense to me since sweat pants are sweat pants.  No flies, no zippers, just a waist band and draw strings.  At $7 a pair, I selected 5 pairs.  Great!

But, as I made my way to the check out, I noticed that there were also sweat pants in the women’s section as well.  So, I decided to check them out.

The women’s sweats were the same as the men’s except that the women’s had the draw sting in the out side instead of the inside.  But, they were the same fleecy pants made my the same manufacturer.  The only other difference that I could see was the price.  $15!!

I decided that at half the price, the men’s sweats would work just fine.
