Training tops for adults

What is a football training top?

A training top includes all items worn above the waist besides the match shirt: tracksuits, waterproof jackets, sweatshirts, and base layers. These items are used during training sessions, warm-ups, or team travel, and come in club and national team colours.

This selection is aimed at adult players looking to complete their football kit, as well as fans who want to wear their club's colours on non-match days.

What ranges of training tops can you find at Foot-Store?

The catalogue features several types of tops, each suited to a specific use.

• The tracksuit jacket is the most commonly worn item: it fully zips up, easily slips over a shirt, and is suitable for both training and getting to the stadium.
• The training top refers to lighter models, often made from technical mesh, designed specifically for actual training sessions.
• The jacket and waterproof jacket protect against the elements: the latter is intended for playing or training in rain or wind.
• The base layer is worn under the match or training shirt to add a layer of comfort in cold weather.
• The sweatshirt is generally worn off the pitch, to extend the club’s colours into daily life.

Shirts, shorts, tracksuits: the other pages of teamwear

Training tops are complemented by other items listed separately on the site, to create a complete outfit.

• The training shirts, worn directly on the pitch during sessions.
• The training trousers, to match with a tracksuit jacket for a coordinated set.
• The training shorts, for sessions in warm weather.
• The training tracksuits, which combine a jacket and trousers into one outfit.
• The compression garments, worn under the shirt for muscle support.
• The socks, to complete the outfit from the bottom up.

All these pages can be found in the teamwear category, which groups all training and club outfits on the site.

Which brands offer training tops?

The leading sports brands are represented in this selection: adidas, Nike, Puma, Erima, Uhlsport, Joma, and Macron. Each brand has its own styles of tracksuit jackets, sweatshirts, or waterproof jackets, with differences in cut and material across their ranges. Clubs generally select one supplier per season, which explains why PSG, OM, Real Madrid, or FC Barcelona jackets may change brand from one season to the next.

When can you take advantage of the best offers on training tops?

Several key times of the year are great for deals on training tops. The Black Friday kicks off the period, followed by the year-end holidays when tracksuit jackets and sweatshirts are among the most sought-after gifts. Next come the winter sales, which can be found on the Sales page, followed by the French Days in spring. Outside these times, the Bargain page and the Clearance page gather discontinued items at lower prices, the New arrivals page shows the latest additions, and the Shipped in 24 hours page lists those available for immediate dispatch. The Special Offers page also includes one-off promotions outside these key times.

How to choose your training top?

The choice mainly depends on the intended use. For training in rain or strong winds, a waterproof jacket offers better protection than a standard tracksuit jacket. For warm-up sessions or on milder days, a training top in technical mesh will suffice and allow for greater freedom of movement. The base layer is reserved for cold days, used alongside a shirt or training top, while the sweatshirt is better suited for off-pitch use, to display a club's colours in daily life.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find cheap club tracksuit jackets?

The best deals on tracksuit jackets can be found on the Sales and Clearance pages, which include items at reduced prices based on stock availability. It's worth checking these pages before every major sales event, especially at the end of the season.

What’s the difference between a training top and a training sweatshirt?

The training top is designed to be worn during exertion, made from technical and breathable materials. The sweatshirt is a thicker piece, intended to be worn before or after a session, or outside the pitch, to extend the club’s colours into daily life.

Do training tops go with training shorts and trousers?

Yes, tracksuit jackets and training tops naturally combine with the training trousers or training shorts from the same club, to create a complete outfit. Some clubs also offer a training tracksuit already matched as a single set.

Can I wear a waterproof jacket outside of training?

Yes, there's nothing to prevent you from wearing a waterproof jacket outside the pitch, for example, during journeys or on rainy days. It is primarily designed for sports activity, with a cut and panels suited for movement rather than urban use.

Where can I find new arrivals in training tops?

The latest items added to the catalogue appear on the New arrivals page, which updates as new products are released by brands and clubs. This is the page to check first when a new season starts or when a new collection is launched.
