Men's jackets and tracksuits for handball

The training jacket, a key piece for warming up

The hmlLEAD training jacket from Hummel, in black, navy, red or blue, is worn zipped during warm-ups and opened for the first sprint. At adidas, the Iconic adi365, Formotion or Aspyre jackets focus on lightweight options, with some reflective colours for evening sessions.

Full tracksuit: the matched team

The full tracksuit, jacket and trousers from the same range, dresses a team for travel and photos. At Mizuno, the Team Kobe in mesh comes in many colour combinations, from black and navy to red and navy. A club can choose its colour without the need for special manufacturing.

Sleeveless jacket: the bench layer

The sleeveless jacket keeps the torso warm while leaving the arms free. The coach wears it over a polo, while the player puts it on over a sweatshirt during waiting times at a tournament. It takes up little space in a sports bag.

Knit, woven polyester, softshell: three materials

Knit fabric, soft and breathable, is suitable for warming up. Woven polyester, smoother, cuts the wind and dries quickly. Softshell, thicker and water-repellent, protects against showers on the way without replacing a proper rain jacket. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket remains essential.

A size that leaves room for sweaters

A tracksuit jacket is worn over a jersey or a thin sweatshirt. If you want to wear it over a hoodie, choose a size larger than your usual size. Raise your arms while trying it on: the jacket should not reveal the lower back.

Club order: the same jacket from junior to senior

For a club, the ideal is a jacket available in sizes from child to adult, in a colour that remains in the catalogue from season to season. The Squadra, Tiro or Entrada ranges, very popular, come in many colours. The logo on the heart side and the name of the club on the back are enough to create the team's identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tracksuit jacket: what size to choose?

Your usual size if you wear it over a jersey or a t-shirt. One size up to wear over a thick sweatshirt. Check the sleeve and torso length on the brand's chart.

Do you need a jacket and a sweatshirt?

Not necessarily, but both complement each other: the jacket cuts the wind, while the sweatshirt keeps you warm. Together, they cover winter evenings at the edge of a pitch. To start, a club jacket is enough.

Can a tracksuit jacket be washed at high temperatures?

No, thirty degrees is sufficient and preserves the fabric and the markings. Close the zip and turn the jacket inside out before washing. No tumble drying.

How to choose a club tracksuit?

Choose a range available in all sizes, from child to adult, and in the club's colour. Check that the jacket and trousers are available separately to cover missing sizes. Plan the markings when placing the order.

Is a softshell jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent: it can withstand a short shower, but not prolonged rain. For journeys in the rain, a waterproof jacket remains the safest option. The softshell, however, cuts the wind very well.
