Jackets & Gilets

Shop Men's Jackets & Gilets

When the weather turns or the warm-up ends, the right outer layer makes all the difference. This men's jackets and gilets collection covers everything from ultralight packable jackets built for running to insulated puffers made for cold-weather training — all designed to move with you, not against you.

Whether you're heading out for an early morning run, warming up at the track, or layering up between sessions, there's a jacket here built for it. The range spans windbreakers, fleece full-zips, borg jackets, puffer styles, and gilets — so whatever the temperature or training session, you're covered.

Who This Collection Is For

This collection is built for men who train outdoors, commute to the gym, or just want an outer layer that keeps up with an active lifestyle. If you're tired of jackets that restrict your movement or let the wind through the moment you start moving, this range is worth exploring.

It's just as suited to the runner logging early miles in the cold as it is to the gym-goer who needs something to throw on between sets or on the walk home. The range includes streamlined gilets for layering and full jackets for when conditions get serious — so there's something here regardless of how or where you train.

When to Wear Jackets & Gilets

Lightweight windbreakers and packable jackets are ideal for outdoor runs, hikes, or any session where you'll warm up fast and need minimal bulk. They pack down small, block the wind, and don't weigh you down when the pace picks up. Gilets are the go-to when you want core warmth without restricting your arms — great for layering over a long-sleeve during unpredictable weather.

For colder conditions, the puffer and borg styles earn their place. Short and long puffers work well as post-session layers or standalone outerwear when temperatures drop, while the borg full-zips and fleece gilets sit perfectly in that midlayer sweet spot — warm enough for the cold, versatile enough to wear on their own.

Key Features

Engineered for Movement

Every jacket and gilet in this range is cut with training in mind. You'll find articulated seams, stretch panels, and relaxed-fit constructions throughout — designed so nothing pulls or bunches when you're mid-stride or reaching overhead.

Smart Protection from the Elements

Windbreaker styles use tightly woven fabrics to block gusts without trapping heat, while puffer and borg options use insulating materials to lock warmth in during colder sessions. The Hybrid Nylon Jacket adds mesh venting to manage airflow, and funnel necklines on key styles add an extra layer of wind protection.

Packable and Practical

Several styles in the range — including the Velocity Ultra Lightweight Packable Jacket — compress into their own pocket for easy storage. That makes them ideal for training bags, travel, or any situation where you need a layer on standby without the bulk.

Visibility and Finish

Reflective logo details on select styles — including the Velocity Packable Jacket — keep you visible during low-light outdoor sessions. Colourways span neutral wardrobe staples like black, oat, and mushroom through to bolder options like Terrafade and Forest Green, so there's a finish to match any kit.

FAQs

What men's jackets are available in this range?

The range covers a solid spread of styles — windbreakers, packable lightweight jackets, short and long puffers, borg full-zips, fleece zip-throughs, gilets, tricot track jackets, and hybrid nylon jackets. In total there are 20 options across the collection, available in a range of colourways from classic black to Forest Green, Oat, and Terrafade.

Which jacket should I choose for outdoor running?

For running, the Velocity Ultra Lightweight Packable Jacket is the standout option. The ultra-lightweight woven fabric feels unrestricted at pace, it packs down into its own pocket when you don't need it, and the reflective logo keeps you visible in low-light conditions. It's built to be barely-there while still doing its job.

Is there a men's packable jacket in this range?

Yes — the Velocity Ultra Lightweight Packable Jacket is available in both Black and Terrafade. It folds away into its own integrated pocket, making it easy to stash in a running belt or gym bag until you need it.

Do the jackets and gilets come in standard sizing?

Yes, the range follows standard men's sizing. As a general guide, if you're between sizes, sizing up will give you more room to layer underneath — especially useful for the puffer and borg styles. Each product page includes a full size guide to help you get the right fit.

Who designs these jackets and gilets?

All the jackets and gilets in this range are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. Every style is developed with training and active use in mind — from the cut and fabric choice through to the functional details like venting, packability, and reflective finishes.

What are the men's gilets like, and when should I wear one?

The gilet styles — available in Black and Oat — use a borg fleece construction that's warm and textured without being heavy. They work well as a midlayer over a long-sleeve or hoodie, or on their own during mild weather. Because they leave your arms free, they're a practical choice any time you want core warmth without the bulk of a full jacket.

How do I care for the jackets and gilets?

Care instructions vary by style and fabric, so it's always worth checking the label on the specific garment. As a general rule for performance outerwear: machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners on technical fabrics, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry where possible to preserve the fabric's structure and finish.

Can these jackets be worn as everyday outerwear, or are they purely for training?

Both. The clean lines and neutral colourways across a lot of this range — particularly the puffers, track jackets, and borg full-zips — make them just as easy to wear off the gym floor as on it. The tricot track jacket and zip-through fleece styles in particular sit comfortably in a casual wardrobe without looking out of place.
