Shop Men's Gym Jackets, Gilets & Coats at Myprotein
From lightweight windbreakers to insulated puffers, the men's gym jackets range covers every training condition you'll face. Whether you're heading out for an early morning run or warming up before a heavy session, there's a jacket built for the job.
With 20 styles across packable jackets, gilets, track jackets, borg full-zips, and more, this is a collection designed around how you actually train — not just how you look doing it.
Who This Collection Is For
If you train outdoors, commute to the gym, or just want a jacket that earns its place in your kit bag, this range is built around you. The styles here are made for men who want performance-focused outerwear that doesn't sacrifice everyday wearability.
Runners, gym-goers, hikers, and anyone who trains through the colder months will find something here. The range spans minimalist packable options for those who travel light, through to puffer jackets and borg fleeces for when the temperature drops properly.
When to Wear Men's Gym Jackets
Lightweight windbreakers and packable jackets are your go-to for outdoor runs, pre-workout warm-ups, or as a layer over a training tee when the weather turns. They pack down small, move with you, and don't slow you down.
Puffer jackets, gilets, and borg full-zips come into their own for post-workout cool-downs, commuting to the gym, or layering on colder training days. The gilet is a particularly versatile pick — it keeps your core warm while leaving your arms free to move.
Key Features
Built for Movement
Every jacket in this collection is cut with training in mind. Whether it's a woven windbreaker or a nylon hybrid, the construction allows a full range of motion without feeling restrictive — so your warm-up looks after itself.
Smart Layering Options
The range is designed to work together. Slim-profile packable jackets sit neatly under heavier outerwear, while gilets layer easily over long-sleeve tops or mid-layers. You get warmth where you need it without adding unnecessary bulk.
Weather-Ready Details
Funnel necklines on hybrid jackets block wind where it matters most. Mesh venting keeps airflow moving during high-output sessions. Reflective logos on packable styles — like the Velocity Ultra Lightweight Packable Jacket — add visibility when you're out in low light.
Packable and Portable
Several styles compress down into their own pocket, making them genuinely easy to carry. Throw one in your kit bag or running pack and you've got a proper layer on hand whenever the weather shifts.

FAQs
What's the best men's lightweight jacket for outdoor training?
The Velocity Ultra Lightweight Packable Jacket is a strong choice if you're after something genuinely portable. It's made from ultra-lightweight woven fabric that feels unrestricted during movement, and it packs down into its own pocket — handy for runs or hikes where conditions can change. The reflective logo also adds a bit of extra visibility in lower light.
How do men's windbreaker jackets differ from puffer jackets in this range?
Windbreakers are built for active use — they're lighter, more packable, and designed to cut wind during outdoor training without trapping heat. Puffer jackets offer more insulation and are better suited to colder conditions, commuting, or post-workout wear. If you run warm during training, a windbreaker is usually the smarter pick; if you're standing around or training in genuinely cold weather, the puffer earns its place.
Are men's gym jackets in this range true to size?
Generally yes — the jackets are cut to allow layering, so they're not overly fitted. If you're planning to wear a thick mid-layer underneath a puffer or borg jacket, sizing up gives you a more comfortable fit. For windbreakers and woven jackets worn over a training tee, your standard size works well. Check the size guide on each product page for exact measurements.
What activities suit a men's gilet?
A gilet is ideal when you want core warmth without restricting arm movement. It works well for outdoor training in mild-to-cool conditions, gym commutes, and layering under a heavier jacket in winter. It's also a solid choice for activities like hiking or cycling where you want insulation through the body but prefer unhindered arms.
How should I wash and care for training jackets?
Always follow the care label on your specific jacket, as fabric composition varies across the range. As a general rule, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle and avoid tumble drying puffer and borg styles — lay them flat or hang to dry. Avoid fabric softeners on technical outerwear, as they can affect the fabric's performance properties over time.
Who designed the jackets in this range?
All jackets in this collection were designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. They're developed with training functionality at the core — tested and refined to work in real workout conditions, not just look good on a product page.
Can men's workout jackets be worn as everyday outerwear?
Absolutely. Most styles in this range sit naturally between gym and everyday wear. Track jackets, borg full-zips, and puffer jackets in particular work just as well over a casual outfit as they do over gym kit. The design is clean and functional enough to move from a training session straight into the rest of your day.
What's the difference between a hybrid jacket and a standard woven jacket?
Hybrid jackets combine different materials or construction zones to balance warmth, breathability, and structure — often featuring mesh venting alongside a more protective outer layer. Standard woven jackets tend to be more uniform in their build, making them slightly lighter and more packable. Both styles feature funnel necklines for wind protection; the hybrid is the better pick if you run between high-intensity bursts and standing still.
