Men's Sportswear in Clearance
The men's sports clothing gathered here in the clearance section is great for fitness sessions, weight training and physical preparation: technical t-shirts, shorts, tracksuits, windbreakers, and socks. adidas with its Climacool and Tech Apparel lines, Under Armour, Hummel, Joma, or Errea offer breathable pieces that are easy to care for and designed for free movement.
Dressing for the gym and training at a softer price.
Technical T-shirt: polyester, mesh and fit
The technical T-shirt is the foundation of any gym outfit. Made from polyester or lightweight synthetic mesh, it wicks sweat away from the fabric, allowing it to evaporate, rather than holding it like cotton, which gets heavy and clings to the skin. The Climacool technology from adidas adds ventilated mesh zones where heat builds up the most. The fit should be chosen according to the activity: fitted for weight training, where a close-fitting fabric doesn’t catch on bars and shows shoulder placement, and more loose for cardio and group classes, where air circulates better between the fabric and the skin.

Training Shorts: length, pockets and freedom of movement
A fitness short should follow squats, lunges and jumps without pulling at the crotch. Models made from lightweight polyester, like the adidas Climacool or Hummel shorts, stop mid-thigh to leave the knee free; a slightly longer cut provides reassurance during floor stretches and split-leg exercises. The elastic waistband with a drawstring adjusts at the waist without compressing the stomach. Zipped pockets keep keys and access cards secure during cardio, while an open pocket empties at the first exercise. Lastly, check for an internal lining that provides support without seams and limits chafing between the thighs.
Tracksuit Jacket and Windbreaker for Warm-Up
The tracksuit jacket keeps muscles warm during warm-ups and between sets, then gets removed once the body has warmed up. Full-zip or half-zip, like the Hummel Core XK, with or without a hood, it should be made from breathable polyester mesh. For outdoor sessions, the lightweight windbreaker from adidas Tech Apparel blocks wind and rain, while the Under Armour Velociti jacket, featuring the brand's Storm water-repellent treatment, allows light rain to roll off without losing breathability. Under Armour was founded in 1996 by Kevin Plank with the idea of a synthetic base layer that stays dry while cotton gets soaked.
Socks and Care for Technical Textiles
Sports socks play their part in the gym: reinforced mesh under the heel and forefoot cushions jumps, and a synthetic fibre limits moisture, the main cause of blisters. Low-cut models like Hummel Pro Low or Essential are barely noticeable in training shoes; a higher shaft protects the lower leg during deadlifts when the bar brushes the shin. On the care side, technical textiles should be washed at thirty degrees, inside out, without fabric softener, which clogs fibres and traps odours. Avoid the tumble dryer, as the heat damages elastane and prints: air-dried, a polyester T-shirt is dry within a few hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
What outfit should I wear for my first gym session?
A technical t-shirt, a short or flexible trouser that doesn’t restrict bending, and sports socks are enough. Add a light jacket for warm-up and avoid overly loose clothing that can get caught in machines.
How can I find sportswear that fits when I’m tall?
Rely on the size guide of each brand rather than your usual size, comparing chest size and length. A sports t-shirt should fall below the waist of the shorts, even with arms raised, to avoid rising during exercises.
Do I need to wear compression clothing for weight training?
It’s not essential. A compression top or base layer supports the muscles and retains warmth in cool weather, which some prefer for warming up, but a classic technical outfit works well for most sessions.
How many sports outfits should I plan for training each week?
Count one outfit per session, as worn technical textiles retain odours and bacteria. For three weekly workouts, two or three t-shirts and shorts allow you to alternate between two washes without running out.
Can I wear a tracksuit jacket outside of the gym?
Yes, a zip-up solid-colour jacket with a fitted cut can also be worn daily. Choose a sober colour, a matte material without shine, and discreet finishing for a more dressed-up style, far from the look of training gear.
