Women's outdoor sweatshirts: hoodie, zip and fleece

For chilly mornings and camping evenings, the women's outdoor sweats section brings together the hooded sweats Granola and One, the Sticky Hands sweatshirt, the BP from Parel Studios, the GhostFleece zip-up from Satisfy, and the technical sweat with a zip collar from Aigle.

The sweatshirt, a daily layer

Between the t-shirt and the jacket, the sweatshirt provides the warmth needed in the morning, evening, or in the shade. It's worn while strolling, in the city, camping, and at home, with the same ease.

The range includes cotton models for softness and technical sweatshirts for effort.

Gramicci, the spirit of climbing

Originating from Californian climbing, Gramicci offers roomy and comfortable hooded sweatshirts. The Granola and One Point, available as pullovers or zipped, can be worn after a bouldering session or on a Sunday in the city. The Sticky Hands, a nod to climbers, features the same cut but without a hood.

Parel Studios BP

The BP from Parel Studios, a brand founded in Copenhagen, plays it simple. A neat cut, a discreet logo: a sweatshirt that fits seamlessly into a minimalist wardrobe.

Satisfy GhostFleece

The Parisian running brand Satisfy offers the zipped GhostFleece sweatshirt, designed for running in cool weather and warm-ups. A technical piece with an urban look.

The technical sweatshirt Aigle

Aigle offers a technical zip-up sweatshirt: unzip it on the ascent to release heat, and zip it up at the summit to shield against the wind. An effective mid-layer under a waterproof jacket.

Hood, zip or round neck?

Hood: it protects the head from the wind and chill, without needing a hat.
Full zip: it can be put on and taken off without removing the hat or glasses.
Zip neck: it regulates ventilation during exercise.
Round neck: the simplest option, easy to layer under a jacket.

Cotton or technical?

A cotton sweatshirt is soft and comfortable at rest but takes time to dry after sweating. A technical sweatshirt wicks moisture away and keeps warmth during activity. For hiking, the technical option is safer; for the city and camping, cotton is fine.

The sweatshirt in hiking

Stashed in the bag, the sweatshirt is useful for breaks and summits, where the wind can cool you down quickly. Put it on before you get cold, and take it off before the next ascent to avoid excessive sweating.

The sweatshirt while camping

At the campsite, a roomy hooded sweatshirt is great for the evening around the stove and at night in the sleeping bag. Choose it wide enough to wear over a long-sleeve t-shirt.

Layering a sweatshirt and a jacket

Under a waterproof jacket, a thin sweatshirt keeps warmth without adding bulk. Under a sleeveless puffer, a hooded sweatshirt lets the hood peek out to protect your neck from the wind.

The sweatshirt for running

In cold weather, a technical zipped sweatshirt is worn for warming up and cool-down. Open it once you start heating up, and close it when you stop to avoid getting cold.

The colours

Heather grey, sage green, beige or navy: the colours of outdoor sweatshirts mix easily with each other and with jeans. A colourful sweatshirt brightens up a plain outfit.

Wearing an outdoor sweatshirt in the city

A Gramicci sweatshirt, loose-fitting trousers and sneakers: a casual outfit that fits well into everyday life. A plain model can also be worn under a long coat.

Choosing your size

Gramicci sweatshirts fit large: stick to your usual size for a relaxed fit. A technical sweatshirt should fit closer to the body to wick moisture effectively. If in doubt, check the sizing guide.

Caring for your sweatshirts

Wash them inside out at 30 degrees to preserve prints and reduce pilling. Dry them flat or on a wide hanger. For a technical sweatshirt, avoid fabric softener.
