Top 8 Athletic Wear Gifts - Gym Clothes Make Great Gifts for Gu

By Daniel Billett, About.com

If it's one thing I'm not very good about doing it's buying myself gym clothes. For some reason I never think to buy them even though I always seem to be in need of some new shorts, t-shirts, etc. That's why I love to receive gym clothes as a gift. And they are almost fail safe to give since sizing is easy and just about everything has elastic. So, if you're looking for a gift for an active guy on your list, try picking out some gym clothes. They will certainly be used and appreciated.

1. Russell Athletic Gym Shorts

Basic and functional with no frills. I've worn Russell for years.

2. Nike Basic Practice Dri-Fit Short

I've started to wear these shorts just recently and I really like them, especially if I'm doing cardio or something that makes me sweat. They are designed to keep the sweat away from your skin. They also have side pockets which I seem to always need. The Swoosh logo is on the left leg.

3. Puma Agile Track Pant

Personally, I love Puma everything. A Puma track pant is super stylin' and functional. More and more I see guys wearing track pants with their sleeveless tees. It seems to be a look.

4. Puma Mens Agile Track Jacket

If you're gonna buy the the Puma track pant, you might as well get the matching track jacket. It has an elastic on the waist and cuffs, so when you go out into the cold after your workout, you will be more insulated.

5. RIPS Extreme Sleeveless T-Shirt

Truly a long standing basic workout shirt, especially for weight-lifters. I've seen guys wearing these shirts to the gym for years.

6. Adidas Track/Sport Pants

Admittedly, Adidas pants always have a cool look to them. I don't know if it's the trademark three stripes or the fact they are favored by the likes of Missy Elliott and other hip hop artists. Anyway, I like them.

7. Adidas Tees

I like loose fitting shirts when I'm working out which is why I personally wear almost nothing but Adidas. Their tees are perfectly sized if you like a looser fit even after washing.

8. Nike Money Short

Another great basic short for the gym. Made with microfober.
