In the women's wardrobe there is a place not only for elegant dresses and skirts, but also for comfortable, practical clothes. Not everyone likes sports style, but most of us still have a couple of things that can be attributed to this style. After all, for going on nature or for active recreation there is nothing better than comfortable, not constraining the movement of pants or sweatshirts.
Types of materials
A sports jacket should not only ensure freedom of movement, but also allow water to pass through, absorb moisture, and sometimes protect it from the vagaries of the weather. Therefore, for sewing such jackets use special materials with all the above qualities.
Knitwear
This is an elastic fabric that allows the skin to breathe, suitable only for dry weather, as it does not have a water-repellent coating.
Fleece
The main advantage of this fabric is that it perfectly retains heat, so fleece jackets can be worn even in the cold;
Raincoat
Light jackets from this material will protect from rain and wind, but will not save from frost, so they are only suitable for summer or early autumn.
Polyester
This completely waterproof material can often be found in sports jackets; but polyester does not warm well and does not allow the skin to breathe, therefore, it is usually combined with other fabrics.
Models
The choice of women's sports jackets is very diverse, so every girl will surely find a style that will appeal to her.

- Sweatshirt - a warm knit jacket with a zipper or not, with a hood or a collar; often decorated with large inscriptions or pictures;

With hood
If you buy a jacket for the off-season, then look at the models with a hood. The hood is not only reliable protection from rain and wind, but also a bright detail of the image. In sports models, the hood is usually quite large and can be adjusted in size. Jackets with a hood on buttons or with a zipper are very convenient - in case of need it can be easily fastened or returned into place.
For cool weather, you should choose a jacket with a warmed hood, and then you can easily do without a hat. The most popular models of sport jackets with a hood are windbreakers, hoodies and parks.
