A sports sweatshirt is for keeping you warm, and wearing it before or after a sport session. What factors should you take into consideration to best choose your sports sweatshirt? What fabric should you opt for depending on the activity you do? Discover all our advice to get it right.
SPORTS SWEATSHIRT MATERIAL
If there is one key feature to look at when choosing a new sweatshirt: it's the material.Why is it so important? Quite simply because this is the one that determines how comfortable, warm and breathable your garment is to wear. You generally have the choice between two materials for your training sweatshirt:~
SWEATSHIRT COLOUR
The choice of colour largely depends on what your tastes are and does not affect your comfort. Do you like being stylish when going to the gym? Treat yourself and opt for a flashy sweatshirt. ~
SWEATSHIRT CUT
Should you opt for a loose-fitting cut or choose a sweatshirt that is a bit more close-fitting? Opinion is divided among sports users. At Decathlon, both parties will be satisfied! So that everyone can find the training sweatshirt suitable for their build, we provide models going up to 4XL for men as well as women. ~
DIFFERENT SWEATSHIRT BRANDS
Do you want to buy a sweatshirt for weight training or for a fitness or yoga session? Our Decathlon team brings you the Domyos brand for your men's or women's sports sweatshirt. ~
SWEATSHIRT WITH A ZIP OPENING OR THE CLASSIC MODEL?
Again, it's a question of style and comfort. The sweatshirt with a zip will enable you to make movements with greater freedom. Unzip in a flash, and hey presto, you can completely remove it or simply leave it open, if you are "a bit hot, but not too much"! You will have understood that it's the more versatile of the two. ~
SWEATSHIRT WITH OR WITHOUT A HOOD?
The more sensitive to the cold among us will opt for the classic model: the sweatshirt with a hood, also called the hoodie. Handy for days when it's raining, if you are out running... or you get caught out by bad weather during your outdoor Pilates session.~
FITNESS SWEATSHIRT
Jumping, running, burpees, press-up or pull-ups during your fitness, HIIT or weight training session, can lead to sweating bucket loads. You need a training sweatshirt with stretchy material, allowing you to move in all 360-degrees. ~
PILATES OR GENTLE GYM SWEATSHIRT
Your body must not cool down during your strength training, yoga or gentle gym session. The cotton Pilates or gentle gym sweatshirt will go with you everywhere, to the gym or elsewhere. ~
