Sports Hoodies

Sports hoodies for training and team layering — considered hood construction, pocket options and branded surfaces for collection programmes.

Charcoal sports hoodie with hood, kangaroo pocket and ribbed cuffs

Overview

Product overview

Sports hoodies provide fleece or midweight knit layering for training, travel and lifestyle-adjacent sportswear ranges. Hood shape, pocket type and rib finishes define the garment's character.

They differ from crew sweatshirts by the hood and typically larger branding surfaces on the chest or sleeve.
