FAQ
What fabric blend is used in the Training Hoodie?
The Training Hoodie uses a technical three-fibre blend: 52.2% Polyester, 43.8% Cotton, and 4% Spandex. The polyester provides moisture-wicking performance and durability, the cotton adds softness, warmth, and a natural feel against the skin, and the Spandex gives the hoodie enough stretch to accommodate full range of motion during training — a balance rarely found in standard fleece hoodies.
Is the Training Hoodie suitable for wearing during workouts?
Yes, this hoodie is specifically designed for training use, not just casual wear. The polyester-dominant blend manages moisture, the cotton provides warmth during warm-up phases, and the Spandex allows unrestricted movement. It is ideal for pre-training warm-ups, outdoor running, weightlifting, boxing pad work, and post-training cool-downs.
How warm is the Training Hoodie at 295 GSM?
At 295 GSM, this is a mid-to-heavy weight training hoodie — warm enough for outdoor winter training and gym use in cooler environments, but not so heavy that it becomes uncomfortable during active workouts. The polyester content ensures it does not feel damp or heavy if you begin to sweat, which is a common problem with 100% cotton hoodies.
Will the Training Hoodie shrink after washing?
The polyester content significantly reduces the shrinkage risk compared to a 100% cotton hoodie. Some minimal shrinkage is possible from the cotton fibres after the first wash. To minimise this, wash in cold water (30°C) and tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid high-heat washing or drying.
Does the Training Hoodie have stretch for movement during exercise?
Yes. The 4% Spandex content may seem small but it makes a noticeable difference — the hoodie stretches comfortably during overhead movements, punching, grappling, and dynamic warm-up exercises. It recovers its shape after stretching, so it does not become baggy or misshapen with regular training use.
Is the Training Hoodie good for combat sports like boxing or MMA warm-ups?
Yes. Many combat sports athletes wear training hoodies during warm-up phases to raise core body temperature before training, which prepares muscles and joints for intense activity. The stretch provided by the Spandex blend means it does not restrict shadowboxing, pad work, or mobility exercises — making this a practical choice for any combat sports training environment.
How should I care for the Training Hoodie?
Machine wash cold at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Turn inside out to protect surface texture and any branding. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat to preserve the hoodie's weight and shape. Avoid wringing the fabric, which can distort the structure at 295 GSM.
