How to choose a men's hoodie or sweatshirt?

It all depends on use. To stay warm without overheating under effort, look for a technical, performance sweatshirt that breathes and wicks moisture — often a lightweight fleece or a stretch fabric. For lifestyle and recovery, a classic cotton pullover is softer, but it holds moisture: avoid it for intense training. A hood adds neck and head protection; a crewneck is simpler and lighter; a quarter zip lets you regulate temperature in one move. In winter, a sweatshirt works as a midlayer between the base layer and the jacket.

The types: hoodie, crewneck, quarter-zip, midlayer

Hoodie — the classic with a hood and kangaroo pocket, for warm-ups, downtime and everyday wear.
Crewneck sweatshirt — the hoodless, clean, versatile pullover.
Quarter or half zip — the most practical technical top to run in: open the collar to vent as soon as you heat up.
Running midlayer — a lightweight, breathable, thermal top built for cool-weather running and layering.

By use

For the gym and training, a lightweight stretch hoodie or a technical quarter-zip. For running, a breathable, quick-dry midlayer over a technical tee. For everyday, a comfortable hoodie or crewneck. In winter, layer: base layer + sweatshirt + jacket. Round it out with our training tops and our sport t-shirts.

Our expert advice

For years, our team has advised runners and athletes on layering. Our rule: a breathable technical top for effort, a quarter-zip to regulate temperature, and cotton reserved for rest. In winter, the right midlayer makes all the difference.

What's the difference between a hoodie and a sweatshirt?

A hoodie is a sweatshirt with a hood (often with a kangaroo pocket). Sweatshirt is the general term that also includes the hoodless crewneck. So a hoodie is a type of sweatshirt.

Should I run with a cotton sweatshirt?

No, not for effort. Cotton absorbs sweat, stays wet and cools the body. Prefer a breathable, quick-dry technical top in lightweight fleece or merino.

What's the best running hoodie?

A lightweight, breathable, quick-dry technical midlayer, often with a quarter-zip to vent. In merino, it adds warmth and odour resistance. Wear it over a technical tee.

How should a hoodie fit?

For performance, a fairly fitted cut keeps the fabric from flapping during effort. For lifestyle, a roomier cut is more comfortable. Choose by use.

What's the warmest midlayer?

Pound for pound, a thick fleece or a merino sweatshirt offers the most warmth. For active winter use, a breathable technical fleece is the best warmth-to-breathability balance.

Can I wear a hoodie for training?

Yes, a lightweight, breathable technical hoodie is perfect for warm-ups and training. Avoid heavy cotton, which makes you sweat and dries slowly.
