What is the material like? Would these be too odd-ball for lifting at the gym? Yoga?

Not at all. The material is what you would expect for Martial Arts pants, but there are different colors to choose from. I would not be uncomfortable wearing them to the gym at all. They are a very good quality material, maybe a little on the thick side if you get hot really easy though.

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.

I would describe the material to be similar to jeans and would think they would be fine for use at the gym or for yoga. The only thing I would consider as "odd-ball" is there is a tag on the front (which you can see in the the picture) and the bottoms don't have as much taper at the ankle as other karate pants.

You could definitely wear these for yoga. They would not fall off while you are upside down. The are well fitted to the curves of the head.

There are def bursts of cardio in them, but I would think a yoga pad or something would help and yes there push ups! They are good quick work outs, tho!

I would say it depends what your intensions are with them. I'm a fairly large guy (250 lbs) and wanted something fairly snug for weight lifting. I got a large and the fit is great. Too tight to wear for anything longer than an hour or so, which is what I need. I would assume if I just wanted some extra support an XL would have done the job, and those are the size sweat pants I wear. Hope this helps

Honestly I haven't used them to sweat crazily, but I do use them doing yard work n stuff like that n love them enough to buy two pairs. One to get dirty n one to watch movies with in my house. I think they will be fine, I love mine!

Absolutely, These are pretty thick, stiff and yet soft enough, I drop the barbells on them and they bounce just a bit and they weigh about 75pounds so they stay put.

Yes these are absolutely great for workouts of just about any kind...but not totally sweat resistant. Easy to clean, however...

I wouldn't particularly use them for that purpose. They provide great wrist support for lifting, but no support or padding for the hands and striking.

I use them for weight lifting and weight machines and they provide a lot of padding without being lumpy or awkward. I think they would do the same for pull ups.

They are quite thin. I was happy in the mountains in spring, but they won't work for a winter hike. They are loose fitting but not baggy - underarmor would probably be fine, but nothing bulkier than that.

They are a material more like swimming shorts. Cotton would easily rip at the seams when doing full-range movements like you would expect to do in these shorts. This fabric allows much less restricted movement. Better than cotton for that purpose.

I've never worn Lululemon... But the prana pants are nice. Light fabric, with stretch. No elastic in the waistband, and that is a plus for my comfort level. No fly. Two pockets.I have two pair. Good for exercise, yoga, casual wear. It seems like these are 'boot cut,' slightly flared legs.Comfortable. Pretty $$, but I imagine the Lululemon are in the same range

I don't have the packaging anymore so please take that into consideration. My best guess is no. They feel like thick stretch t-shirt fabric.

sure, but i wouldn't use them for that. They probably won't last you very long if you do any serious lifting. Plus, you usually want to have the fingertips cut off for lifting to offer more breathability. Personally, i use Harbinger wrist wrap gloves for lifting (about $20), which last me several years, and have the added bonus of the wrist wrap to support the wrist when lifting really heavy weights.

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

well I use them for weight lifting,, I think they may be too heavy for racket sports,, maybe try baseball gloves..but the womens are probably fine for racket sports since they are not as heavy
