1/4 zips
Shop Men's Quarter Zips at Myprotein
A men's quarter zip sits right at the sweet spot between a jumper and a jacket. Pull it on when you need that extra layer in the gym, or throw it over a tee for the commute home. The training 1/4 zip works for warm-ups, cool-downs, and everything in between.
These aren't fancy pieces trying to do too much. They're built for blokes who want something reliable that doesn't overthink it. Moisture-wicking fabric keeps you dry when the session heats up, and the zip lets you regulate temperature without stopping mid-set.
Who This Collection Is For
You're someone who trains regularly and needs gear that keeps up. Whether it's weights, cardio, or a circuit session, these men's quarter zip pullovers fit into your routine without fuss. They're for the bloke who'd rather spend time training than thinking about what to wear.
From the serious lifter who needs something for between sets to the runner who wants a warm layer for the first mile, these pieces work. They're designed for movement, not for standing around looking good in the mirror.
When to Wear Your Quarter Zip
Chuck one on during your warm-up when the gym's still cold in the morning. Keep it on through mobility work, then unzip or pull it off when you're properly going. It's the kind of layer that adapts to how hard you're pushing without getting in the way.
Outside the gym, a men's 1/4 zip pullover works for weekend errands, dog walks, or just about any situation where you want to look put-together without overthinking it. It's versatile enough to go from training to the rest of your day without needing a full outfit change.
Key Features
Moisture-Wicking Fabric
The fabric pulls sweat away from your skin instead of soaking it up. You stay drier during intense sessions, and the material doesn't cling when things get sweaty. It's a practical feature that makes a real difference when you're working hard.
Quarter Zip Design
The 1/4 zip gives you control over airflow without committing to a full-zip jacket. Pop it down when you need cooling, pull it up when you're between sets. It's a simple design element that actually works in practice.
Durable Construction
These quarter zips are built to handle regular washing and wear. The seams hold up, the zip doesn't snag, and the fabric keeps its shape session after session. You're getting a piece that lasts, not something that falls apart after a month.
Comfortable Fit
Cut to allow full range of movement without excess fabric bunching up. The fit sits close enough to feel secure during lifts but loose enough that you're not restricted. It's designed by people who actually understand how training gear needs to move.

FAQs
How do men's quarter zip pullovers fit?
These run true to size with a regular fit that sits comfortably without excess fabric. There's enough room through the shoulders and chest for natural movement during training, while the body stays close enough that it doesn't ride up or bunch. If you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit for layering, size up one.
What's the best way to care for a men's 1/4 zip?
Machine wash cold with similar colors and tumble dry on low. The moisture-wicking fabric holds up well to regular washing without losing its properties. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce the material's ability to pull moisture away from your skin.
Can I wear a quarter zip for running or just gym work?
The training 1/4 zip works for both. Runners often use them as a first-mile layer before warming up, while gym-goers appreciate the versatility during varied workouts. The moisture-wicking fabric handles both steady-state cardio and interval training without issue.
What activities are men's quarter zips designed for?
These pieces work across resistance training, cardio sessions, sports practice, and active warm-ups. They're built for movement rather than specific exercises, so whether you're lifting, running, or doing mobility work, the fit and fabric perform consistently. Outside training, they're comfortable enough for everyday wear.
Who designs Myprotein's training clothing?
Myprotein's in-house design team creates all training wear, working from feedback and wear-testing to develop pieces that meet real training needs. The focus is on functional design that works in practice, not just on paper.
How durable are these quarter zips?
The construction is built for regular use and frequent washing. Reinforced seams, quality zips, and hard-wearing fabric mean these pieces last through months of training sessions. They're designed as workhorses, not delicate items that need special care.
What's the difference between a men's 1/4 zip and a full zip?
A quarter zip stops mid-chest, giving you ventilation control without the option to fully remove it during a session. It's a simpler design that works when you want one versatile layer rather than something you're constantly taking on and off. Full zips offer more flexibility but can be fiddly during workouts.
Can I layer a quarter zip under a jacket?
The regular fit works well as a mid-layer under training jackets or coats. The fabric isn't bulky, so it sits comfortably without restricting movement or adding unnecessary thickness. It's a practical option for colder weather when you need multiple layers without the bulk.
