• Plush fleece construction with a nylon mix gives the top a soft, slightly textured hand that holds its shape rather than drooping at the hem or shoulders.
• The half-zip funnel neck opens just enough to regulate temperature on the move - practical for warm-ups and cool-downs alike.
• A boxy, relaxed silhouette sits at the hip, falling cleanly over leggings without bunching or riding up during activity.
• Visible panel seaming across the chest and sleeves adds structure and a considered, sport-led aesthetic rather than a plain fleece look.
• A front kangaroo-style pocket sits low across the hem, offering a secure spot for small essentials pre or post-session.

This Sweaty Betty half-zip slots straight into an active wardrobe as the layer you reach for before and after training. The boxy cut means it sits over full-length leggings without cutting the leg line short - the model wears it with printed performance leggings and white trainers, which shows how well it balances a bold base layer. The fleece weight is substantial enough for outdoor runs in cooler months but not so heavy that it becomes restrictive layered under a gilet or light jacket. Away from the gym, it works just as well thrown over joggers for a morning coffee run or worn to a weekend yoga class. The half-zip detail keeps it looking considered rather than purely functional, so it earns its place outside of the studio too. A clean, no-fuss piece that moves between training sessions and low-key weekend dressing with very little effort required.
