Track Jackets for Men
A track jacket is ideal for warming up or staying warm after the match.
Purpose of a training top
The main purpose of a track jacket is to keep your body warm. Especially before and after your training or match, it's important to keep your body at the right temperature. Beforehand, it's important that your muscles warm up and stay warm, and after playing football it's important that your muscles don't cool down too quickly. Cold muscles are less supple and therefore have an increased risk of injury. A good warm-up and cool-down are of course also important. Make sure you wear your track jacket during the warm-up and cool-down. If your body cools down too quickly after playing football, the chance of muscle soreness is much greater.
Other points to consider
Most track jackets have a full zip, but there are also track jackets with a half zip. Other points to consider are whether the jacket has pockets, a hood and elastic cuffs.
Track jackets are often made from a synthetic fabric. Polyester is one example. The advantages are that this fabric is lightweight, dries quickly and wicks away moisture well.
Tips
If your upper body is warm, it's easier for the rest of your body to stay at temperature too. If you want to give your lower body some extra warmth as well, combine your track jacket with pants.
It's important to wash the track jacket according to the washing instructions, so the benefits of the track jacket aren't lost. The washing instructions are on the label on the inside of the track jacket.
