Padel jackets

Paddle jackets in the Sportano shop rangeThe padel jacket is not just a clothing item to protect against the cold or wind. In the world of racquet sports such as padel, clothing has to fulfil many functions, including supporting the player's performance by providing comfort, freedom of movement and protection from adverse weather conditions. At the Sportano shop, we offer high-quality padel jackets from brands such as Lacoste, Mizuno, Joma and HEAD.Materials and features: thermal insulation vs. breathability at the same timeDesigning a padel jacket is not a simple task, as it must meet the specific requirements of this sport. It is important that the jacket provides full freedom of movement, which is crucial during dynamic play, while at the same time being durable enough to withstand potential falls or friction with the court. Above all, padel jackets are often made of stretchy materials, such as spandex or elastane, which conform to the player's body and do not restrict movement. This allows the player to freely perform a wide range of strokes without feeling uncomfortable. Areas that are exposed to more friction, such as the elbows or sides, are often reinforced with additional layers of material or special inserts for greater durability. Such a solution prolongs the life of the jacket and protects it from premature wear. Another important element in the construction of a padel jacket is the ergonomic seams. These seams are positioned in such a way as to minimise the risk of abrasion to the skin, which is particularly important during intense play when sweat and movement can lead to irritation. Many padel jackets also have special ventilation panels, especially in the underarm and back areas. These panels allow better air circulation, which helps to regulate body temperature and wick away excess moisture to the outside.Construction and technology: the specifics of the jacket dedicated to the game of padelThe game of padel, although intense, also requires the right outfit to support the player at every moment of the game. A jacket dedicated to this sport combines advanced technology with the right construction to meet the specific demands of the game. Flexibility and fit are key aspects of a padel jacket. The materials of which it is made must be supple and flexible, while providing protection against possible injuries or friction. Polyester compositions with a touch of elastane or spandex are often used to ensure freedom of movement during dynamic exchanges. Additional reinforcements are used in areas more prone to wear and tear, such as the shoulders or elbows. The reinforced areas protect against abrasion and increase the durability of the jacket, which is especially important when in frequent contact with the net or court floor. The manufacturing technology of the padel jackets also takes into account the need for body thermoregulation. The use of special ventilation panels allows sweat and excess heat to be removed efficiently, while ensuring fresh air circulation. Advanced technologies, such as hydrophobic fabric finishes, can be used to provide a degree of moisture resistance, which is beneficial when playing on open courts in less favourable weather conditions. The appropriate positioning of pockets, zips and other functional elements further enhances the jacket's practicality, allowing you to store essentials or easily adjust the level of ventilation.Special features: water resistance, ventilation and innovative extrasWhen playing padel, players are exposed to a variety of weather conditions, so it is important that their clothing provides extra protection and support. Innovative add-ons in padel jackets play a key role in ensuring comfort and functionality during the game. Water resistance is one of the most important aspects in a jacket designed for outdoor play. Thanks to special technologies and finishes, such as hydrophobic coatings or membranes, fabrics are able to repel water. This not only protects the player from unexpected rain, but also from moisture on the courts, which is inevitable when playing intensely. Ventilation is another key element. Advanced ventilation systems, often located in strategic areas such as under the arms or on the back, allow the skin to 'breathe'. Effective wicking of sweat and excess heat ensures thermal comfort and minimises the risk of overheating. Elastic mesh panels, used in some jacket models, further increase air permeability. In addition, innovative extras such as special pockets for accessories, reflective elements for improved visibility in low light conditions, or ergonomic zips to facilitate quick donning and doffing of the jacket, significantly enhance comfort. Padel jackets also often feature high collars and hoods to protect against wind and cold, and are tailored to avoid restricting movement during play.
