From lightweight packable designs to insulated styles built for colder months, each piece is engineered to perform when it matters.

Who This Collection Is For

This collection is for anyone who trains outdoors or needs reliable layers for their fitness routine. Runners appreciate lightweight, packable designs that stow easily mid-session. Gym-goers value the versatility of pieces that transition seamlessly from warmup to cooldown.

From early morning park sessions to late-night outdoor circuits, these jackets and gilets work for every training schedule. They're designed for people who refuse to let weather dictate their workout plans and need gear that keeps up with their commitment.

When to Wear These Pieces

Pull on a gilet for those unpredictable mornings when you need core warmth but full arm coverage feels too heavy. Jackets work brilliantly for pre-workout warmups, keeping muscles warm before you start moving. They're equally useful for post-session cooldowns when your body temperature drops quickly.

These pieces shine during outdoor training when conditions shift unexpectedly. Pack a lightweight jacket for long runs where you might start cold but warm up quickly. Reach for insulated options on genuinely chilly days when protection from the elements becomes non-negotiable.

Key Features

Weather-Resistant Fabrics

Water-repellent finishes shed light rain and wind, keeping you dry during unpredictable conditions. Durable outer shells stand up to regular training without losing their protective properties.

Breathable Construction

Ventilated panels and moisture-wicking materials prevent overheating during high-intensity sessions. Air circulates freely, so you stay comfortable whether you're warming up or pushing through intervals.

Adjustable Fit

Elasticated hems, adjustable cuffs and zip-up designs let you customise the fit to suit different conditions. Secure closures keep cold air out without restricting your range of motion.

Practical Storage

Zippered pockets keep essentials secure during movement. Many styles pack down small, fitting easily into gym bags when you no longer need the extra layer.

FAQs

How do I choose between a jacket and a gilet?

Gilets provide core warmth whilst leaving your arms free to move, making them ideal for high-intensity outdoor training or layering under heavier coats. Jackets offer full coverage and work better when you need protection from wind and rain, or when temperatures drop significantly. Consider your typical training environment and how quickly you warm up during sessions.

What size should I order?

Most styles run true to size with a regular athletic fit. If you plan to layer over thick hoodies or jumpers, consider sizing up for extra room. Check the product page for specific measurements and fit details, which include chest and length dimensions to help you find the right match.

How should I care for these jackets?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours to maintain fabric integrity and colour vibrancy. Avoid fabric softeners, which can interfere with moisture-wicking properties. Air dry when possible, or tumble dry on low heat if needed. Store hung or folded loosely to prevent permanent creasing.

Are these jackets suitable for running in the rain?

Many styles feature water-repellent finishes that shed light rain and drizzle effectively. Whilst they're not fully waterproof, they provide adequate protection for typical training conditions. For heavy rain, look for styles specifically labelled as waterproof or pair with a shell layer.

Can I wear these casually, not just for training?

Absolutely. The streamlined designs and versatile colours transition easily from workout to everyday wear. Pair with jeans and trainers for casual outings, or layer over athleisure pieces for a relaxed weekend look that still feels put-together.

Who designed these jackets and gilets?

Myprotein's in-house design team creates every piece in this collection. They combine technical performance features with practical everyday wearability, ensuring each jacket meets the demands of real training whilst maintaining style and comfort.

What makes these jackets suitable for outdoor training?

Breathable fabrics regulate temperature during movement, preventing overheating whilst maintaining warmth. Reflective details improve visibility during early morning or evening sessions. Secure pockets keep essentials close without bouncing, and adjustable features let you adapt quickly to changing conditions.

How packable are these jackets?

Lightweight styles compress easily, fitting into gym bags or small backpacks without taking up significant space. This makes them practical for runners who start cold but warm up quickly, or anyone who needs emergency layers during unpredictable weather. Insulated designs naturally take more space but still fold compactly compared to bulkier winter coats.
