Men's sports jackets and sweats

Zip-up jacket, hoodie or high collar

The zip-up jacket comes off in a second when your body heats up. The hoodie keeps you warm on the way and outside of intense efforts. The high collar top protects your throat without taking up space in the bag.

Thickness and season, the right slider

In spring or autumn, a light layer is enough for warming up. In winter, it’s better to have a warmer layer that you can take off as soon as the temperature rises. Avoid a too thick jacket indoors, where you’ll quickly get too hot.

Details that really matter

Elastic cuffs to keep the warmth in, zipped pockets for your keys and phone, adjustable jacket bottom against drafts. For group warm-ups, a cut that allows for shoulder space prevents feeling restricted.

Care for a sports jacket

Close the zip before washing, wash at a low temperature, and air dry. Fleece materials pill less when washed inside out, away from rough fabrics.

If the jacket is water-repellent, a gentle wash without fabric softener preserves the fabric's protection over the seasons.

Possible savings on layers

The good deals on men's clothing and the clearance feature jackets at reduced prices.

One layer for the journey, another for the session

To get to the gym or field, a jacket or sweatshirt keeps you warm during the journey. Once there, take it off as soon as your body heats up and keep it within reach to put it back on between exercises. Without this habit, cool down is quick and fatigue sets in.

Choosing the size of your jacket

Try the jacket on over a t-shirt and check that you can lift your arms without the bottom riding up. The sleeve length should cover your wrist without pulling. If you plan to layer a sweatshirt under the jacket, going one size up may be useful.

If you train in a club, a jacket in neutral colours matches more easily with the rest of the team’s outfit. For individual sports, let your style preferences show.

For evening outings, a model with reflective strips on the sleeves and back helps you be seen by drivers.
