Our women's jackets and gilets are designed to keep you moving comfortably, whether you're warming up, cooling down, or layering up for outdoor training. Built with technical fabrics that handle sweat and movement, these pieces work as hard as you do.
Zip-up styles, cropped cuts, and seamless designs give you options that fit your routine. Lightweight windbreakers pack down small for travel, whilst insulated gilets add warmth without restricting your range of motion. Each piece is made to transition smoothly from workout to daily wear, so you're covered wherever the day takes you.
Who This Collection Is For
These ladies jackets and gilets suit anyone who trains regularly and needs reliable outer layers. Whether you're lifting weights, running outdoors, or heading to a yoga class, you'll find styles that fit your training schedule. Designed for movement, these pieces work for high-intensity sessions and low-key recovery days alike.
From beginners building their gym wardrobe to experienced athletes looking for performance-focused designs, this range covers all levels. Cropped jackets work well for studio workouts, whilst full-length zip-ups offer coverage for outdoor runs. Gilets provide core warmth without bulk, making them ideal for layering when the temperature shifts mid-session.
When to Wear These Pieces
Layer up before your workout starts to keep muscles warm during your warm-up. Lightweight jackets and gilets are perfect for those first few minutes when you're getting your body ready to move. Once you've hit your stride, the breathable fabrics let you keep them on or strip them off without losing momentum.
Outside the gym, these styles work for morning walks, weekend errands, or casual meet-ups. Pair a cropped jacket with high-waisted leggings for a streamlined look, or throw a gilet over a long-sleeve top when the weather's unpredictable. Designed to move between activities seamlessly, they're as practical off the gym floor as they are on it.
Key Features
Lightweight and Packable
Windbreakers and cropped jackets fold down small enough to fit in your gym bag without taking up precious space. When the weather shifts mid-run or you need an extra layer post-workout, these pieces are ready to go. Durable fabrics resist creasing, so they look fresh even after being stuffed in a locker.
Moisture-Wicking Fabrics
Technical materials draw sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry during intense sessions. Breathable panels prevent overheating, whilst stretchy construction moves with your body through every rep, sprint, and stretch. You'll stay comfortable whether you're warming up or pushing through your final set.
Functional Zip Designs
Full-length zips make it easy to adjust your temperature on the fly, whilst cropped styles sit at the waist for unrestricted movement. Secure pockets keep essentials close without adding bulk, and thumbholes on select styles offer extra coverage when you need it. Every detail is built with real training in mind.
Versatile Layering Options
Slim-fit jackets sit close to the body for layering under heavier coats, whilst relaxed gilets work over hoodies or long-sleeve tops. Seamless designs eliminate chafing during high-rep workouts, and cropped lengths pair effortlessly with high-waisted leggings. Mix and match with the rest of your activewear to create looks that work for any activity.

FAQs
How do I choose the right size for women's jackets?
Check the size guide on each product page for specific measurements across the bust, waist, and length. If you prefer a closer fit for layering under other clothing, stick with your usual size. For a more relaxed fit or if you plan to layer over hoodies, consider sizing up. Customer reviews often mention fit, so they're worth reading before you order.
Can I machine wash these jackets and gilets?
Yes, most styles are machine washable at 30 degrees. Turn garments inside out before washing to protect any prints or seamless finishes, and avoid fabric softener as it can affect moisture-wicking properties. Hang to dry rather than tumble drying to maintain the fabric's stretch and shape over time.
What's the difference between a jacket and a gilet?
Jackets have full sleeves and provide coverage for your arms, making them ideal for colder conditions or outdoor training. Gilets are sleeveless, offering core warmth whilst keeping your arms free for unrestricted movement. Choose a gilet for layering during transitional weather or activities where you need extra mobility in your shoulders and arms.
Are these jackets suitable for outdoor running?
Absolutely. Lightweight windbreakers offer protection from wind and light drizzle, whilst breathable fabrics prevent overheating during steady-pace runs. Reflective details on some styles improve visibility in low light conditions. For colder weather, layer a gilet over a long-sleeve top for added warmth without sacrificing range of motion.
Who designs Myprotein's clothing range?
Myprotein's in-house design team creates every piece in this collection, drawing on feedback from athletes and everyday gym-goers. They focus on technical fabrics, functional details, and fits that work for real training scenarios. Each design goes through testing to ensure it meets the demands of high-intensity workouts and daily wear.
Can I wear these jackets for activities other than the gym?
Yes, these pieces transition easily from training to casual wear. Pair a cropped jacket with jeans for weekend errands, or throw a gilet over a hoodie for outdoor walks. The clean, minimal designs work in multiple settings, so you're not limited to wearing them only during workouts.
What materials are used in these jackets and gilets?
Most styles feature polyester and elastane blends that offer stretch, durability, and moisture-wicking properties. Some jackets include nylon for added wind resistance, whilst seamless designs use technical knit fabrics that eliminate stitching and reduce friction. Check individual product pages for specific fabric compositions and care instructions.
How do cropped jackets compare to full-length styles?
Cropped jackets sit at or just below the waist, making them ideal for high-waisted leggings and studio workouts where you want freedom around your hips. Full-length styles offer more coverage and work well for outdoor training or layering over longer tops. Both options provide the same technical benefits, so it comes down to your preferred fit and intended use.
