What to wear at thirteen degrees
Short answer: At thirteen degrees it is typical weather for padel, golf or a brisk run. Tennis socks, a hoodie for warming up and a layer you can take off are a good starting point.
Sport in cool air
Thirteen degrees is pleasant to be active in, but it can feel cold while you warm up and after you finish. The body is warm when you move, but sweat cools you quickly when you pause. That is why it is a good idea to have a layer you can put on between matches or after training. It stops you from freezing and getting stiff.
The hoodie for warming up and breaks
A hoodie is practical for warming up, because you can take it off when you are warm and put it on again when you take a break. See bamboo hoodie for men. It is soft and roomy, so it does not hinder movement. Choose a model that is not so thick that you sweat, and that can sit in your bag without taking up too much room. The hood can keep the neck warm on the sideline.
Tennis socks for the court
Tennis socks are short and light and suit trainers. See bamboo tennis socks for men. They give a smooth layer against the skin and let the shoe sit comfortably. Choose a size that does not fold in the shoe, as folds can cause blisters. At thirteen degrees short socks can be enough, but bring a longer pair if you stand still on the sideline.
All socks in one place

In sport it is important that the sock stays put and does not slide down into the shoe. For everyday wear you can choose something softer and slightly thicker, so that the feet keep warm.
After the match or the run
When you stop moving, your body temperature falls quickly. Put on a top straight away, and change into dry socks if yours have got wet. Drink something and eat a light snack. Keep a small bag with dry clothes so that you can change when you finish, and avoid sitting in damp clothes on the way home.
Caring for sportswear
Wash viscose from bamboo at 30 to 40 degrees and avoid fabric softener. Let the clothes dry flat or on a hanger in fresh air. Take your sportswear out of the bag as soon as you get home, so that it does not lie damp and start to smell. Socks keep their shape best if they are not tumble dried on high heat.
