Women's handball jackets and tracksuits

Jacket only or full tracksuit

The tracksuit jacket is worn over the jersey during warm-up and is removed at kick-off. The full tracksuit, with matching jacket and trousers, is for transport, tournaments, and team photos. If your club already has trousers, a jacket from the same range is enough.

Hood, high collar, zipped pockets: useful details

The hood keeps warmth between tournament matches, like on the Emotion 27 jackets from Kempa. The high collar protects the neck without a hood that gets in the way. The zipped pockets keep keys and phone secure in shared changing rooms. The ribbed cuffs prevent the sleeves from slipping over the hands.

Woven polyester or mesh: which fabric

Woven polyester, slightly shiny, cuts the wind and dries quickly: it's the material of the Wave 26 jackets from Kempa. Mesh, being more flexible, feels like a sweatshirt and breathes better during exertion. A woven jacket ages well and marks easily, while a mesh jacket is more comfortable for everyday wear.

Shoulders, waist, sleeves: women's fit

Women's jackets, like the adi365 Iconic tracksuit jackets from adidas or the Diana from Errea, are shorter and narrower at the shoulders. A unisex jacket may fit if you like a loose look, but check the sleeve length, which is often too long. With the same range in women's and unisex fits, a club can dress its girls' and boys' teams identically.

Order jackets for the whole team

For a bulk order, choose a reference available in all the sizes you need, from the smallest to the largest. The Power, Iconic or Performance ranges come in several colours. Plan for the club's logo on the heart side and initials on the back: a plain jacket is easier to customise than a patterned one.

Christopher, Cima, Wave: the models on the page

The Christopher tracksuit jacket from Errea comes in many combinations, from red and black to navy and yellow. Hummel offers the women's Cima XK zipped jacket in navy, along with matching sets. At Kempa, the Wave 26 is available in black, blue, grey, green or red.

• The women's shorts complete the playing outfit.
• The women's socks can be chosen in the club colours.
• The women's baselayers keep the body warm underneath the outfit.

Team order: aiming for highlights

Frequently asked questions

What size tracksuit jacket should I choose?

Your usual size if you wear it over a jersey, one size up if you put a sweatshirt underneath. In unisex fit, try one size down for the shoulders. Check sleeve length on the product page.

Tracksuit jacket or zipped sweatshirt?

The jacket cuts the wind better and is worn as team gear. The zipped sweatshirt is warmer and softer, but takes longer to dry. Many players have one for the club and another for everyday wear.

Is a tracksuit jacket waterproof?

No, it cuts the wind but lets rain in. For journeys in the rain, choose a waterproof jacket or a raincoat. Woven polyester, however, withstands drizzle better than mesh.

How to wash a marked tracksuit jacket?

Zip it up, turn the jacket inside out and wash at thirty degrees without fabric softener. No tumble dryer or iron on the logo. It dries quickly on a hanger.

Can you match a jacket and trousers from different brands?

Yes, as long as you choose similar colours and materials. For a club outfit, it's better to stick to the same range to ensure the same shade. For leisure wear, mixing is a matter of taste.
