Outerwear - Women

Women’s padel outerwear

This collection brings together the women's outerwear from the catalogue: sweatshirts, jackets and garments designed to play in cold temperatures or for the pre-match warm-up.

The approach in winter is different to summer and it isn’t about wearing more. It’s about being able to remove layers quickly: the muscles need protection for the first few minutes, and from the second or third game almost everything you have on will be too much.

How to deal with the cold on court

With two thin layers instead of one thick one. A technical, close-fitting base layer that wicks moisture away and stays on for the whole match, and over that a sweatshirt or jacket that’s easy to remove. A single heavy garment fails both ways: it leaves you exposed when standing still and is excessive once you start moving.

The base layer should not be cotton. Cotton retains moisture, and as soon as you stop it will cool you down more than if you were wearing nothing underneath.

What to check in each garment

Shoulder mobility

This is the point that decides whether an outerwear piece is suitable for playing or only for warming up. If it pulls at the armhole when you raise your arm above your head, it will interfere with the smash. It’s worth testing that full movement when choosing a size.

Type of fastening

A full zip lets you take the garment off without pulling it over your head, which is much more practical when you’re holding a padel racket. A half-zip regulates ventilation without taking anything off, and is a good middle-ground solution.

Length and hip fit

A garment that’s too long or loose at the hips shifts during lateral movement and gets in the way when bending down for a wall shot. The fit that works is the one that doesn’t force you to readjust between points.

Frequently asked questions

Can you play with a sweatshirt on?

Yes, for the first games, and it’s common on outdoor courts. Practically speaking, it should be easy to remove without pulling it over your head, because you will end up taking it off.

What should I wear underneath?

A technical base layer — never cotton. The job of the base layer is to move moisture outwards; cotton does exactly the opposite.

Do I need outerwear if I play indoors?

Rarely during play, because the temperature is stable and there’s no draught. Outerwear is still useful for the warm-up and for the journey to the court.
