Wet Weather Training Essentials

Best Rain Gear for Football Training

The football season is underway, and the weather is already taking a turn. Training is always tough at this time of year, so it’s important to keep your team’s morale up as the temperature drops. We don’t think that the rain should dampen the mood but you’ll want to be prepared for the worst. Considering how unreliable the British weather can be, it’s surprising how many kids turn up to football training without waterproof jackets. Good quality training wear can have a big impact on a player’s performance. To help out, we’ve made a list of our top 5 wet weather training essentials, to make sure you’re ready for anything.

Waterproof Jacket

You can’t rely on the weather, but you can rely on a Pendle waterproof jacket. At this time of year, a good quality rain jacket will be one of your most important pieces of kit. Our Braga waterproof jacket is a great choice. This lightweight jacket has fully taped seams which makes it perfect for rainy days. It’s available in either black, navy, red or royal.

If things are a little colder, why not pick up the Inter rain jacket? This thicker coat is fleece-lined so you’ll keep warm and dry. The jacket is available in 9 different colours and starts at only £23.79. Pick up some black fleece lined rain jackets or find your club colours.

Base Layer

The beginning of a training session can be the toughest part. It’s never easy to get your team running about on a rainy October day, but once they do, they’ll soon warm up. Layering is the key to keeping warm; we advise 2 or 3 thinner layers. Once you get your blood pumping, you can easily remove a layer if necessary.

A Pendle Base layer is ideal for slipping on under any football shirt or training top. Get this wardrobe essential from only £7.50 each. Its lightweight and highly stretchable fabric will keep you comfortable no matter how active you get. They are also made with moisture-wicking Qwick Dry fabric, engineered to draw the sweat away from the skin, keeping you cool and dry.

Tracksuit bottoms

Make sure you add a suitable pair of tracksuit bottoms to your kit list. Our new Atlanta 2.0 tracksuit bottoms are an update on the classic style. The modern design offers a slim fit and the stretchable fabric makes them really comfortable. Pick up a pair from only £12.25 and layer them over your shorts when the weather turns.

The slim fit means there won’t be any excess material around the ankle and allows for more streamlined movement. Once you’ve warmed up, the ankle zips make them a breeze to take off over your football boots.

Woolly Hat

10% of body heat can be lost from your head. A woolly hat is a simple yet effective piece of training wear that can make a great difference. It keeps your players warm and dry, which also stops the rain from running down their faces and into their eyes. Aside from the practicality of these woolly hats, they also make your team look very professional. Our hats start from only £7.49 each and can be personalised with an embroidered club badge or name.

The gloves are stretchy and are available in adult and junior sizes. The polyester gloves won’t retain moisture so they won’t get uncomfortable and heavy. Get them from only £5.99 each.
