Training outdoors means dealing with whatever the weather throws at you. A lightweight jacket gives you the freedom to layer up or strip down as your session heats up, whilst a gilet adds core warmth without restricting your arms during high-rep sets.

From windbreakers that pack down small to cropped jackets that sit perfectly at the waist, this collection keeps you comfortable from warm-up to cool-down. Each piece is designed to move with you, not against you, so you can focus on the workout ahead.

Who This Collection Is For

These jackets work for anyone who trains outside, commutes to the gym, or needs that extra layer between sets. Whether you're running park loops at dawn or smashing a lifting session in a cold garage gym, the right outer layer makes all the difference.

Perfect for those who want functional gear that transitions easily from training to everyday life. Throw on a windbreaker over your kit for the walk to the gym, then tie it round your waist when things warm up.

When to Wear These Pieces

Reach for a jacket during outdoor runs, early morning training sessions, or when the gym temperature drops. Lightweight options work brilliantly for warm-ups, keeping muscles ready whilst you prep for heavier lifts or interval work.

Gilets shine during transitional weather when your core needs coverage but your arms want freedom. Wear them for outdoor circuits, boot camps, or layered over a long-sleeve top for that perfect balance of warmth and mobility.

FAQs

How do these jackets and gilets fit?

Most styles run true to size with a regular athletic fit that layers comfortably over sports bras and tanks. Cropped designs sit at the natural waist, whilst full-length jackets provide hip coverage. Check individual product pages for specific measurements and fit details.

Can I wash these in the machine?

Yes, machine wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle. Turn garments inside out to protect any prints or finishes, and avoid fabric softener which can affect moisture-wicking properties. Air dry rather than tumble drying to maintain shape and fabric performance.

Are these jackets suitable for outdoor running in the rain?

Windbreakers offer protection from light rain and wind, making them ideal for unpredictable weather during outdoor training. They're not fully waterproof, so save them for drizzle rather than heavy downpours. The lightweight fabric dries quickly if caught in a shower.

What's the difference between a jacket and a gilet?

Jackets provide full arm coverage and protection, perfect for colder conditions or when you need maximum warmth. Gilets keep your core warm whilst leaving arms free, which works brilliantly during high-intensity sessions or transitional weather when full sleeves feel too warm.

How should I style these pieces for everyday wear?

Cropped jackets pair perfectly with high-waisted jeans or joggers for a casual look that works beyond training. Neutral colours like black, white, and soft cream transition easily from gym to coffee run, whilst adjustable features let you switch up the silhouette.

Do these jackets pack down for travel?

Windbreakers are designed to pack down small, with some styles featuring their own storage pocket. They're ideal for throwing in a gym bag or travel case without taking up valuable space, then pulling out when you need that extra layer.

Who designs these jackets and gilets?

Myprotein's in-house design team creates every piece, focusing on practical features that solve real training challenges. Each collection balances performance fabrics with versatile styling that works across different activities and environments.

Will these restrict my movement during workouts?

No, each piece features stretchy panels and articulated cuts designed for full range of motion. Whether you're lifting overhead, doing burpees, or running intervals, the fabrics move with you without riding up or pulling tight across shoulders and back.
