Women's gym jackets

A gym jacket goes on for the warm-up and the walk home, and stays on for runs on cold mornings. Ours is the Legacy BBL Zip-Jacket: a compressive active fit with a brushed interior, long sleeves with thumbholes and a straight hem, in 260gsm fabric of 76% nylon and 24% spandex. It comes in black, white, midnight plum and cherry red, in sizes XS to XXL.

What makes a good athletic jacket?

Close enough to move with you and warm enough to train in. A fitted, stretchy jacket stays out of the way when you lift or run, where a loose fleece rides up and catches on the bar. Thumbholes keep the sleeves over your hands on a cold warm-up, and a brushed inside adds warmth without bulk.

How should a workout jacket fit?

The Legacy BBL Zip-Jacket is cut compressive, so it sits close to your body without squeezing. Take your usual size for a fitted layer, or size up if you want room for a hoodie underneath. The size each model wears is listed on the product.

What to wear with a women's gym jacket

Zip it over a sports bra or a crop top with gym leggings before your session, then take it off once you are warm. For the same jacket on its own page, see zip-up sports jackets; for a looser layer, see women's hoodies.

Frequently asked questions

What is a compressive fit?

A close, stretchy fit that sits against your body without restricting you. The Legacy BBL Zip-Jacket is cut this way, in 76% nylon and 24% spandex, so it moves with you when you lift or run.

How do I choose the right size for me?

We are very much true to size so we recommend sticking with the same size that you normally wear. If you are in-between sizes then we recommend sizing up.

Can I wear Powerlete activewear as everyday clothing?

Yes, many people wear Powerlete activewear as everyday clothing thanks to the "athleisure" trend. High-quality activewear, like ours, is designed to be both functional for workouts and stylish enough for casual wear. Look for versatile pieces that can transition from the gym to daily activities.
