Shop Women's Gym Jackets, Gilets & Coats at Myprotein

Whether you're heading into the gym, warming up on the track, or cooling down after a session, a women's gym jacket that moves with you makes all the difference. Myprotein's collection of women's gym jackets, gilets and coats is built for training — designed with performance fabrics, flattering cuts, and details that actually work when you're working out.

From zip-up training jackets that layer seamlessly over sports bras and leggings, to cropped styles that sit perfectly at the waist, there's a fit for every body and every workout. This is activewear that earns its place in your kit bag — not just your wardrobe.

Who This Collection Is For

These women's gym jackets are designed for women who train. If you're lifting, running, attending classes, or doing anything in between, you'll find styles here that keep up with you. The collection suits gym regulars who want reliable layering pieces as much as it suits those building out an activewear wardrobe from scratch.

It's also a great fit for anyone who wants their gym kit to look as good outside the session as it does during one. Seamless zip-up jackets and sleek cropped styles transition easily from the gym floor to the café run — no wardrobe change needed.

When to Wear Women's Gym Jackets

A women's training jacket earns its keep across every kind of session. Throw one on during warm-up to keep muscles loose before you get into your main set, or wear it throughout low-intensity workouts like yoga, Pilates, or mobility training where you want a little extra warmth without overheating. Gilets are particularly useful for outdoor runs and walks when you want core warmth without restricting arm movement.

Beyond the gym, these pieces handle the in-between moments — the commute to the gym, the post-session cool-down, the weekend errand run. A women's zip-up gym jacket styled over a seamless set is a solid off-duty look that doesn't require any effort.

Key Features

Seamless Construction

Several styles in this collection are built using seamless knit technology, which means fewer seams sitting against your skin. The result is a smooth, second-skin feel that moves with you rather than against you — ideal for sessions where you're stretching, reaching, or layering under other kit.

Zip-Up Versatility

Full-length and half-zip styles give you control over ventilation as your body temperature shifts during a workout. Easy to pull on and off mid-session, a women's zip-up gym jacket is one of the most practical pieces you can own.

Cropped and Full-Length Cuts

Cropped jackets sit at or just above the waist, making them ideal to pair with high-waisted leggings without adding bulk at the hip. Full-length options offer more coverage for outdoor training or cooler gym environments.

Training-Ready Fabrics

Each piece is made from fabrics chosen specifically for active use — think stretchy, breathable materials that hold their shape wash after wash. Whether you're after a women's woven gym jacket or a seamless knit style, the construction is built to last.

FAQs

What size women's gym jacket should I choose?

As a general guide, if you prefer a close-to-body fit — particularly in seamless styles — go with your usual size. If you plan to layer over thicker sports bras or tops, or prefer a more relaxed feel, sizing up gives you a little extra room without the jacket feeling oversized. Check the size guide on each product page for specific measurements.

Are these jackets suitable for outdoor workouts as well as the gym?

Yes — many styles in this collection work well for outdoor training, including running, walking, and outdoor classes. Gilets are particularly suited to outdoor use where arm freedom matters. For colder conditions, layering a seamless zip-up jacket under a coat gives you flexibility as temperatures change.

How do I care for my women's training jacket?

Most styles can be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softener, as it can affect the stretch and performance properties of the fabric over time. Always check the care label on your specific garment before washing, and air dry where possible to keep the fabric in its best condition.

What's the difference between the seamless and woven gym jackets?

Seamless jackets are knitted in one piece, giving them a smooth finish with minimal seams and a stretchy, body-close feel — ideal for layering or wearing during the workout itself. Woven jackets have a more structured feel and are often better suited as a warm-up or cool-down layer or for outdoor use.

Who designed the women's gym jackets at Myprotein?

All pieces are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, developed with training in mind from the ground up. Every detail — from zip placement to fabric choice — is considered with real workouts and real women in mind.

Can I wear a women's zip-up gym jacket casually, or is it just for training?

Absolutely — these jackets are built for the gym but styled to work beyond it. Seamless zip-up styles in particular sit comfortably in everyday off-duty looks, especially when paired with matching leggings or joggers. They're a genuinely useful piece whether you're training or not.

Do the cropped jackets work if I'm taller or have a longer torso?

Cropped lengths vary across styles, so it's worth checking the product images and any available measurements on the product page. Generally, sizing up in a cropped jacket will give a slightly longer fit, which can work well for taller frames or those with a longer torso.

Are the jackets available in matching sets with leggings or sports bras?

Many of the jackets in this collection are part of coordinated ranges — the Tempo and Shape Seamless lines, for example, include matching leggings and sports bras. Browse the full collection to build out a complete set in your preferred colourway.
