Athletic Hoodies & Sweatshirts
Our Performance Fleece Hoodie delivers warmth without weight for year-round training. Built with a cotton-polyester blend that wicks moisture while maintaining softness, this pullover features raglan sleeves for full range of motion during warmups and cooldowns.
The adjustable three-piece hood stays secure during runs, and the kangaroo pocket provides storage for essentials or hand warmth between sets. We designed this hoodie for athletes who demand comfort and durability in every season.
Performance & comfort features
Fabric Technology & Construction
Every Eastbay hoodie and sweatshirt starts with carefully selected fleece blends engineered for athletic performance. Our Performance and Tech Fleece lines use cotton-polyester combinations that balance natural softness with synthetic durability and moisture management. The cotton fibers provide comfort against skin while polyester adds shape retention and faster drying times.
We use brushed-back fleece construction in our thermal styles, which creates tiny air pockets that trap body heat without adding weight. This spacer-knit approach delivers warmth-to-weight ratios that outperform traditional solid fleece. For athletes who need maximum durability, our Heavyweight Pullover features 12-ounce 100% cotton fleece with reinforced stitching at every stress point.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
Our hoodies and sweatshirts follow three distinct fit profiles to match different training needs and style preferences. The Athletic Fit in our Performance Fleece and Tech Fleece Crew models sits close to the torso with room for base layers, ideal for athletes who want streamlined silhouettes that don’t interfere with movement patterns.
The Contemporary Fit in our Quarter-Zip and Lightweight Training styles offers slightly more room through the chest and waist, working well as standalone pieces or mid-layers under jackets. Our Heavyweight Pullover uses a Relaxed Fit with generous proportions that accommodate compression gear, multiple layers, or simply a looser comfort preference.
Performance Features for Active Use
Mobility & Range of Motion
Raglan sleeves on our Performance Fleece Hoodie and articulated elbow construction in the Tech Fleece Crew eliminate restriction during overhead movements, from jump shots to pull-ups. We position seams away from high-friction zones where backpack straps and equipment make contact.
Temperature Regulation
The quarter-zip design on our Thermal Sweatshirt provides instant ventilation control—zip up for warmth during warmups, unzip when intensity increases. Mesh ventilation panels in the Tech Fleece Crew create airflow at heat zones without compromising core insulation. Thumbholes on thermal styles prevent sleeve ride-up and seal wrist openings against cold air.

Common Questions About Our Hoodies & Sweatshirts
Our Athletic Fit styles run true to size with a streamlined cut designed for active movement. Contemporary Fit models offer slightly more room through the torso while maintaining true-to-size proportions. The Heavyweight Pullover uses a Relaxed Fit that’s also true to size but provides generous space for layering.
If you prefer extra room or plan to wear multiple layers underneath, we recommend sizing up in Athletic Fit styles. Most customers find their usual size works perfectly across our line.
The Thermal Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt is our top choice for cold-weather running. The brushed-back fleece provides excellent warmth retention, and the quarter-zip allows instant temperature adjustment when your body heats up mid-run. Thumbholes keep sleeves in place and seal wrist openings against cold air.
For temperatures below 20°F, layer the Thermal Quarter-Zip over a compression base layer and under a windproof shell. The flatlock seams eliminate chafing during long-distance runs.
All Eastbay hoodies undergo preshrinking treatment during manufacturing to minimize dimensional changes. When washed in cold water and tumble dried on low heat following our care instructions, you can expect less than 2% shrinkage.
We use this same preshrinking process across our entire apparel line to ensure consistent sizing through repeated wash cycles. High heat settings can cause additional shrinkage, so we recommend low-temperature drying or hang-drying for maximum longevity.
Our Performance Fleece uses a 60/40 cotton-polyester blend that balances softness with moisture-wicking capability—ideal for athletes who sweat during training. Tech Fleece features spacer-knit construction that creates insulation pockets for warmth without weight.
The Heavyweight Pullover uses 12-ounce 100% cotton fleece for maximum durability and cold-weather protection. Lightweight Training styles use 7-ounce poly-cotton blends designed for breathability during high-intensity workouts. Each fleece type serves specific temperature ranges and activity levels.
Yes, all our hoodies are dryer-safe when using low heat settings. We recommend removing them promptly to prevent wrinkles and preserve elastic components in cuffs, hems, and drawcords.
For extended garment life, hang-drying is always the gentlest option. Avoid high heat, which can damage synthetic fibers and cause excessive shrinkage over time. Our reinforced construction and quality materials maintain their integrity through 50+ dryer cycles when care guidelines are followed.
Most eastbay hoodies include storage options sized for modern devices. Our pullover styles feature kangaroo pockets with hidden media ports for headphone cables. The Performance Fleece Hoodie pocket easily accommodates phones up to 6.7 inches.
The Lightweight Training Hoodie and Tech Fleece Crew include zippered side pockets that secure valuables during movement—no risk of items falling out during exercises. Pocket depths range from 7-9 inches depending on style.
