Sweatshirts and Hoodies

Shop Men's Gym Hoodies and Sweatshirts

When the session's done or the day off arrives, what you wear still matters. The Rest Day range brings together men's pullover hoodies and sweatshirts built for exactly that — the in-between moments where comfort is the priority and style doesn't have to take a back seat.

Cotton-rich fabrics and soft-touch finishes make these pieces genuinely easy to live in. Whether you're grabbing a coffee post-training or heading out on a recovery walk, this is the kind of kit that earns a permanent spot in the rotation.

Who This Collection Is For

This range is built for the guy who trains consistently and wants his off-the-gym wardrobe to reflect the same standards. If you're spending real time in the gym, you need sweatshirts and hoodies that can keep up with the lifestyle around it — not just the workouts.

It's also a solid pick for anyone who wants versatile men's gym hoodies that look at home in more than one setting. The clean cuts and understated colourways mean these pieces work just as well on the sofa as they do running errands or heading to the gym.

When to Wear Sweatshirts and Hoodies

Rest days are the obvious answer, but these hoodies and sweatshirts are built for more than that. Layer one over your gym kit on the way to a morning session, wear it through a warm-up, or pull it on the moment you're done training — the soft-touch fabric feels good against your skin at any point in the day.

Beyond the gym, these pieces are genuinely wearable. A zip-through hoodie works well as a casual layer when the weather turns, and a clean pullover sweatshirt in a neutral colourway fits into almost any off-duty look without looking like an afterthought.

Key Features

Soft-Touch Fabric

Every piece in this range uses a soft-touch construction that feels noticeably different to standard gym fleece. It's the kind of texture that makes you actually want to reach for it on a rest day.

Cotton-Rich Construction

Cotton-rich fabric means these sweatshirts and hoodies breathe well and hold their shape wash after wash. You get the comfort of a natural fibre without the downsides of something that feels heavy or stiff.

Versatile Silhouettes

The range covers pullover hoodies, zip-through styles, and crew-neck sweatshirts — so there's a fit for every preference. The cuts are relaxed without being oversized, which keeps things looking clean whether you're layering or wearing them solo.

Range of Colourways

From classic black and navy through to earthy tones like forest green and eucalyptus, the colour options are designed to pair easily with the rest of your wardrobe. There's something in here for every preference, season, and aesthetic.

FAQs

What is a men's gym hoodie?

A men's gym hoodie is a hooded sweatshirt designed to be worn around training — as a warm-up layer, post-session cover-up, or casual day-off piece. The Rest Day hoodies use cotton-rich, soft-touch fabric that prioritises comfort without sacrificing a clean, put-together look.

How do I choose the right size?

These hoodies and sweatshirts are cut with a relaxed fit, so they're designed to feel comfortable without being boxy. If you're between sizes and prefer a closer fit, size down. If you like room to layer underneath or just prefer a more casual drape, go true to size or up. The size guide on each product page gives exact chest and body length measurements to help you decide.

What's the difference between the pullover hoodie and the zip-through?

The men's pullover hoodie is a single-piece design that goes on over the head — cleaner-looking and slightly warmer since there's no zip channel. The zip-through is easier to pull on and off, which makes it a better option if you want something you can quickly layer or remove between sets or on the commute. Both use the same soft-touch, cotton-rich fabric.

How should I care for these sweatshirts and hoodies?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry on a low setting to keep the fabric soft and the shape intact. Avoid high heat, which can cause shrinkage and affect the soft-touch finish over time. Always check the care label on your specific garment for exact instructions.

Who designed the Rest Day range?

The Rest Day collection was designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on creating gym-adjacent pieces that feel as good off the gym floor as they do around it.

Can I wear these hoodies for training as well as casual wear?

Absolutely. These are built with rest days and casual wear in mind, but the cotton-rich fabric handles light training, warm-ups, and cooldowns without any issue. If you're doing high-intensity workouts, a dedicated performance layer might be a better fit — but for everything else, these are genuinely versatile.

What colourways are available in the men's sweatshirts and hoodies range?

The range comes in a strong lineup of colourways including black, navy, grey marl, bone, forest green, whale blue, concrete, and eucalyptus. Whether you prefer something classic and understated or want to add a bit more personality to your wardrobe, there's a shade in here that works.

Are these hoodies true to size?

Yes, the fit runs true to size for most builds. The relaxed cut gives a comfortable amount of room through the chest and shoulders without going oversized. If you're unsure, check the size guide on the product page — it lists exact measurements so you can match against what you know works for you.
