The Best Winter Sportswear

The late, great Marvin Hagler was one of Boxing’s infamous Fab Four in the 1980s. Along with Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns (Hagler vs Hearns is worth a watch for Round 1 alone), Hagler dominated the Middleweight division and was a true icon of the age.

Beyond the fantastic legacy he holds, Hagler also gave us one of the great boxing quotes – one that should resonate with each and every one of us engaging in a boxing workout routine.

Hagler once famously said ‘It’s tough to get out of bed to do roadwork at 5am when you’ve been sleeping in silk pyjamas.’

What did ‘Marvelous’ Marvin mean here? Success requires commitment regardless of anything else that goes on. In his case, despite the riches being world champion undoubtedly brought, Hagler never lost sight of the fact that hard work had got him where he was.

His point is true. It IS hard to get up and workout, particularly in the wintertime when your bed seems so comfortable. You might not be wearing silk pyjamas, but training in tough conditions, be it out on the road or getting to and from the gym, can present a barrier to your overall aims.

With this in mind, we wanted to take a look at some of the best winter workout and sportswear. Boxfit has a vast range of items that can keep you protected and warm, while still getting the best out of your winter workout regime.

Quality Winter Warmers

Most of us will find that when we actually start working out, we warm up pretty swiftly. The real challenge is getting to and from the gym on those cold mornings, where the comfort and warmth of our homes is way more appealing.

We at Boxfit believe the best way to get through this is by investing in something really pleasant to wear on your journey to and from your gym. This can help make you comfortable, while also keeping important muscles warm. This can allow you to get more out of your workouts.

Boxfit stocks a brilliant collection of tracksuits, with products from a range of leading brands and excellent designs. We stock Boxfit Slim fit poly tracksuits, while our Ringside Pro Apparel tracksuits are really smart.

We also stock brilliant Adidas track pants and Adidas track jackets, as well as Fly tracksuit jackets and joggers. Our own BXF range and Boxfit range contains a host of brilliant tracksuit choices too, so it’s easy to find the best boxing tracksuit for your requirements.

Sweatshirts are another great way to add that layer of warmth when out and about, and we offer plenty of hoodies and classic sweatshirts from a host of leading brands.

There are sleeveless boxing hoodies from the likes of Carbon Claw and Kronk available, while we also have excellent full hoodies from Adidas,ProBox and Kronk. Our classic sweatshirt range is equally impressive, and we love this sweatshirt from ProBox, as well as our own Boxfit sweatshirt.

Jackets are a must have for the cold weather, and we are delighted to be able to provide a brilliant collection for our customers. We stock Adidas Boxing Zip Jackets, as well as our own Boxfit Hooded Contract Padded Jacket.

We also have a range of gilet options available, and for those really cold days, take a look at our Boxfit Hooded contrast padded jacket.

Working out in the winter brings its own challenges, with your workout space potentially colder and draftier. As mentioned though, when working out indoors, most of us will work up a sweat pretty sharpish.

Doing what Hagler did though and committing to roadwork in the depths of winter, or other outdoor workout activities, might well need us to add a couple of extra layers.

Base layers can play a big role, providing that extra level of protection from the elements and keeping you comfortable and warm. Boxfit offers a broad range of boxing base layers for workouts, with everything from base shorts and leggings to long sleeve compression shirts and short sleeve base layers.

We also offer a great range of base layers from our own BXF brand. Our BXF base layers and BXF bottoms and leggings are also of the highest quality, so see what you can treat yourself to in order to make those cold days that bit easier.

Winterwear Accessories

Interestingly, sometimes it is the smaller things that can make the biggest difference when it comes to staying warm during winter workouts.

Heat escaping from your body is the thing that needs to be limited in particularly cold weather, so a few winterwear accessories are a good idea.

Our BXF Elite Running Gloves are perfect for those cold winter morning runs, while our hats and caps collection contains a whole host of items to help keep us warm and comfortable. We really like the BXF 3D logo wooly hats, which come in a selection of colours. We also have our Boxfit wooly hats, as well as a great range of caps and flat peaks for you to choose from.

And never forget to look after your feet too! Our range of socks is packed full of warm and comfortable options, so don’t miss out
