Who This Collection Is For

This range is built for anyone who trains outdoors or needs dependable layers for variable conditions. If you run early mornings, cycle through changing weather, or warm up and cool down outside, these jackets and gilets offer the coverage and breathability that keeps you comfortable without overheating. They're designed for movement – no restrictive cuts or excess fabric getting in your way.

From seasoned athletes who know the value of a good outer layer to newcomers building out their workout wardrobe, these pieces work for all levels. If you're looking for something that packs down small for travel, holds up to frequent wear, or simply keeps the chill off during rest periods, you'll find options here that tick those boxes without fuss.

When to Wear These Pieces

Reach for these jackets and gilets whenever you need an adaptable outer layer. They're ideal for early morning runs when it's still cold, outdoor circuits where you're alternating between high and low intensity, or post-workout when your body temperature drops. The packable styles fold down small enough to tuck into a gym bag, so you can bring them along and pull them out only when needed.

These pieces also work well beyond structured training sessions. Wear them for active commutes, weekend hikes, or casual days when you want something sporty but not overly technical. The clean designs mean they transition easily from workout to everyday wear, giving you layers that earn their place in your rotation instead of sitting unused in the cupboard.

Key Features

Lightweight and Packable Designs

Several styles in this range pack down into their own pockets, making them easy to carry without taking up valuable bag space. When you don't need the coverage, they compress small and stay out of the way until conditions change.

Weather-Resistant Fabrics

Designed to handle wind and light rain, these outer layers keep you shielded from the elements without feeling heavy or restrictive. The fabrics resist moisture while still allowing air to circulate, so you don't end up overheating during high-output sessions.

Secure Storage Solutions

Zip pockets give you safe places to stash essentials like keys, cards, or your phone while you move. No fumbling with flaps or worrying about items falling out mid-run – everything stays secure and accessible when you need it.

Adjustable Fits

Features like adjustable hems and cuffs let you dial in the fit to suit your preferences and the conditions. Cinch things down for a snug feel when the wind picks up, or loosen them off for a more relaxed layer during warm-ups and cool-downs.

FAQs

How do I choose between a jacket and a gilet?

It comes down to coverage and temperature. Gilets keep your core warm while leaving your arms free, making them ideal for high-intensity sessions or milder conditions where you generate plenty of heat. Jackets offer full coverage for colder weather, windy conditions, or lower-intensity activities where you need more insulation. If you're frequently outdoors in variable weather, having both gives you flexible layering options.

Are these jackets suitable for running in the rain?

Many styles offer water-resistant properties that handle light rain and drizzle effectively. They're designed to shed moisture and keep you dry during brief showers or damp conditions. For heavy, sustained rain, you'd want a fully waterproof shell, but for typical training conditions, these jackets provide solid protection without trapping heat and moisture inside.

How should I care for my jacket to keep it performing well?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours, and avoid fabric softener as it can reduce the water-resistant properties. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry – some jackets actually benefit from a low-heat tumble as it can reactivate water-repellent finishes. Check the care label for specific instructions, and store your jacket uncompressed to maintain its insulation and shape.

What size should I order if I plan to layer underneath?

If you're planning to wear these jackets over hoodies or thick base layers, consider sizing up one size from your usual. The standard fit is designed to accommodate a t-shirt or thin long-sleeve layer comfortably. Check the product descriptions for specific fit notes, and remember that packable styles tend to run slightly more fitted to maintain their compact design.

Can I wear these jackets for casual use or just training?

Absolutely. The clean designs and versatile colourways work well beyond the gym or track. These pieces transition easily to everyday wear – whether you're running errands, meeting mates, or just want something comfortable and functional for casual days. The sporty aesthetic doesn't look out of place in non-training settings, making them practical additions to your regular wardrobe rotation.

Do the packable jackets lose their shape after being compressed?

Not with normal use. These jackets are specifically engineered to pack down and spring back to their original shape repeatedly. The fabrics resist creasing and maintain their structure even after being stuffed into pockets or bags. Just give them a shake when you unpack them, and they're ready to wear without looking crumpled or worn.

Who designs Myprotein's clothing range?

All pieces are created by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on combining functional performance features with modern, wearable styles. They develop these collections specifically for active lifestyles, testing fabrics and fits to ensure they meet the demands of real training sessions whilst maintaining the quality and design standards you'd expect.

What's the difference between the various jacket styles in this range?

The main differences lie in weight, insulation, and packability. Ultra-lightweight packable jackets prioritise portability and breathability for variable conditions. Quilted jackets offer more insulation for colder weather but with slightly more bulk. Wind jackets focus on cutting through breeze whilst maintaining breathability. Consider what conditions you train in most often and how much coverage you typically need to choose the right style for your routine.
