Men's 1/4 Zip Tops

Shop Men's Quarter Zip Jumpers at Myprotein

The men's quarter zip jumper is the training top that does it all — warm enough for cold-weather sessions, breathable enough to wear through the whole workout, and sharp enough to keep on after. This collection brings together a range of fabrics, fits, and finishes built specifically for how men train.

From seamless constructions to ultra-soft jersey fabrics and insulating fleece options, there's a men's quarter zip for every training environment and every personal style. Fourteen styles across multiple colourways means finding the right fit for your wardrobe is straightforward.

Who This Collection Is For

If you train consistently and want kit that keeps pace with you, this is the collection. Whether you're lifting, running, or putting in work on the track, a men's quarter zip top earns its place in your rotation — it's the layer you reach for when a t-shirt isn't quite enough and a full hoodie is too much.

It also works for anyone who takes their gym style seriously. These aren't throwaway training tops — they're thoughtfully designed pieces with embroidered detailing, considered colourways, and finishes that hold up over time. If you care about looking good while you train, you're in the right place.

When to Wear Men's 1/4 Zip Tops

The quarter zip format makes it one of the most versatile tops in any training wardrobe. Use it as your primary layer during autumn and winter sessions, or wear it as a mid-layer when temperatures really drop. The zip lets you dial airflow up or down as you warm up, keeping you comfortable from the first rep to the last.

Off the gym floor, these tops translate just as well. The cleaner silhouettes and embroidered logo detailing mean they work for the commute to the gym, a morning run, or casual wear on rest days. A men's quarter zip fleece in particular is ideal for layering over a tee when the weather turns.

Key Features

Quarter Zip Closure

The defining feature of the collection — a zip that gives you full control over ventilation and fit. Open it up during warm-ups, close it down when you cool off. It's a small detail that makes a real difference across a full training session.

Fabric Built for Movement

Different styles use different materials — peached jersey for a soft, skin-friendly feel, seamless knit construction for a second-skin fit, and gridded fabrics for lightweight breathability. Each fabric is chosen to move with you rather than restrict you.

Durable, Considered Finishing

Twin needle stitch finishing at the cuffs and hem across multiple styles means these tops are made to last. The construction holds its shape wash after wash, so they look as good after months of training as they did on day one.

Clean, Gym-Ready Aesthetic

Embroidered chest logos, tonal colourways, and minimal branding give these tops a polished look that goes beyond basic gym kit. Colourways range from core blacks and navies to forest green, storm, and plum — so there's something to suit every preference.

FAQs

What is a mens quarter zip jumper?

A men's quarter zip jumper is a training top with a zip that runs from the collar down to roughly chest height. It sits between a t-shirt and a full hoodie in terms of coverage and warmth, and the adjustable zip makes it easy to manage temperature during training. It's one of the most practical layers you can have in a gym kit.

How do I choose the right size?

These tops are designed with a training-focused fit — not too tight, not too baggy. If you're between sizes, consider how you'll be wearing it: on its own, size down for a cleaner silhouette; as a mid-layer over other kit, go true to size or up. Specific size guides are available on each individual product page.

Which men's quarter zip should I choose?

That depends on how you train. If soft, all-day comfort is the priority, the MP Men's Training Ultra Jersey 1/4 Zip in Black is worth a look — the peached hand feel is noticeably different from standard training fabric, and the quarter zip makes adjusting airflow effortless during a session. For a more structured everyday option, the MP Men's Training 1/4 Zip in Navy delivers a clean finish with embroidered logo detailing and twin needle stitch cuffs and hem built to last.

Is a men's quarter zip fleece different from the other styles?

Yes — the fleece options in the range use a heavier, insulating fabric that's better suited to cold conditions or as an outer layer. The other styles in the collection use lighter performance fabrics designed for active training. If you're after warmth first and breathability second, the fleece is the one to go for.

What activities are these tops suited to?

The range covers most training disciplines. The seamless and gridded styles work well for gym training, HIIT, and any session where you need freedom of movement. The jersey and fleece options are better suited to outdoor training, running in cooler weather, or use as a warm-up and cool-down layer.

How do I care for my men's quarter zip top?

Machine wash on a cool or warm setting and avoid tumble drying where possible — hanging to dry keeps the fabric and shape in better condition for longer. Avoid fabric softeners with performance materials as they can affect the fabric's feel over time. Always check the care label on your specific style for the exact guidance.

Who designed these tops?

The range is designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. Every style is developed with training functionality and everyday wearability in mind — from fabric selection through to finishing details like embroidered logos and stitch work at the cuffs and hem.

Can I wear a men's quarter zip top casually, or is it just for the gym?

Easily both. The cleaner designs — particularly the embroidered logo styles and the fleece options — work just as well off the gym floor as on it. Pair with joggers or training shorts for a gym-ready look, or wear over a t-shirt with jeans for a casual layer that doesn't shout sportswear.
