Zip-Up Tracksuits – A Guide

Short answer: A tracksuit with a zip in the top is more flexible than a set with a sweatshirt: you can unzip when you get warm, use the top as a light jacket and take it off without ruining your hair and make-up. Choose it in bamboo if you want comfort at its very best.

Why the zip is practical

With a zip you regulate the temperature in seconds, and the top works as an extra layer over a T-shirt or a top. That makes the set ideal for days at home, walks and travelling alike. See the selection of bamboo hoodies for women and bamboo tracksuits for women, where the styles change regularly.

Zip hoodie or sweatshirt?

The sweatshirt gives you the cleanest, most minimalist look, while a top with a zip is the most flexible in use. Many people end up with both, because they each cover a different need. Read more about the classic style in our guide to the bamboo hoodie.

The comfort is in the fabric

Whatever the fastening, it is the material you feel all day long. Sweat fabric with bamboo viscose is soft on the inside, breathes well and keeps odour at bay. Pair the top with bamboo sweatpants for women for a complete set.
