Squash jackets

Jackets for squash - choose the right model in the Sportano shopAlthough jackets are not the typical outfit we think of when playing squash, they have their specific place in the player's equipment. Before and after intense games, when the body is cooling down after strenuous efforts, the right jacket can protect against a sudden drop in temperature, which is key to avoiding injury. Besides, on the way to the club or when training outdoors on colder days, a squash jacket is not only practical but also necessary. In the Sportano sports shop you will find squash jackets from proven brands such as Lacoste, HEAD, Joma or Mizuno.Materials and technologies: protection from the cold without loss of breathabilityWhen it comes to squash jackets, the key aspect is to find the perfect balance between protection against the cold and the breathability of the material. During intense games and training sessions, our body produces sweat, which must be effectively wicked away from the garment to prevent overheating and feelings of discomfort. Materials such as high-quality microporous polyester or innovative technical fabrics are becoming the standard for sports jackets. These ensure that perspiration is effectively wicked away while the body is protected from external weather conditions. Modern technologies, such as membranes or special coatings, make it possible to create clothing that is both waterproof and breathable. This means that when training outdoors in slightly rainy weather, the jacket will provide protection from moisture while not causing excessive perspiration. Another important innovation is the quick-drying technology. The materials absorb moisture from the surface of the skin and accelerate its evaporation, keeping you feeling fresh even during intense games. The aforementioned ventilation panels, often placed in strategic areas such as the armpits or back, provide additional airflow and a cooling feeling in the most sensitive zones of the body. The ideal squash jacket should be able to wick away moisture effectively, offer protection from cold and wind, and be lightweight and comfortable to wear. Choosing the right material and technology is key to achieving these qualities.Cut and functionalitySquash is a sport that requires great agility, speed and freedom of movement. Therefore, when we talk about jackets designed for squash players, it is crucial that they are designed in such a way that they do not restrict movement. Flexible and stretchy materials are fundamental in the creation of jackets for squash players. They ensure that during dynamic movements, the jacket does not hug the body too tightly or cause discomfort. Modern fabrics, such as spandex or elastane, are often combined with other materials to give the garment sufficient flexibility. Strategic stitching and panels are also important. Jackets with flat seams prevent chafing and skin irritation, which is particularly important during intense movement. In addition, anatomically shaped panels can improve the fit of the jacket while increasing freedom of movement. Another element that is often included in the design of sports jackets are ergonomic pockets. Those that are easily accessible, secured by zips or special flaps, allow you to store essential small items without fear of losing them during play. Many squash jackets also have adjustable cuffs and hem, allowing you to tailor the jacket to your individual needs and weather conditions. This can be particularly useful on colder days when you want extra protection from the wind or cold.
