Sweaters/jumpers are great for wearing outdoors. You can choose from a wide range of fibres. This choice depends on the season and the sport for which the sweater is being worn.
A wool sweaters/jumpers can absorb a lot of moisture and still not feel wet. It also doesn't smell as quickly. It is usually enough to air it out at night. Merino wool is particularly soft, does not scratch the skin and is also suitable for sensitive people. Wool is warm, soft and a natural material - many people value this.
A fleece sweater scores with its lightness! It is breathable and made from synthetic yarn, which makes it indispensable for many outdoor activities. Breathable fleece transports the moisture generated during your sporting activity to the outside and keeps you dry and warm. Dry skin is the most important prerequisite for preventing you from getting cold and catching a chill. Which happens quickly when you take a break from exercise.
The best of both worlds! A hybrid sweaters/jumpers is knitted from merino fibres on the inside, while the outside is made from synthetic, functional fibres. This combines the two advantages of naturalness and lightness.
There is no such thing as a classic sweater shape. A jumper can come with many different necklines and details. A round-neck sweater and a V-shaped sweaters/jumpers already tell you how the neckline is shaped. Either the neckline is round and positioned relatively high on the neck, or the neckline forms a V.
Zip sweaters are also very practical, as they can be opened and closed with a zip up to chest height. This allows you to react quickly to changing temperatures. When the zip is closed, the body heat stays nicely inside, and when you open it, you can let off a lot of steam. There's no lighter way to regulate your temperature.
A hoodie is a hooded jumper, so it has a knitted hood. Not only does it look cool, it is also extremely practical if it gets colder than you thought. You can even survive a short rain shower dry with the hood. In the long run, however, a hoodie is no protection against the rain, as the hood will be completely wet after extensive rain and would then lie on your back.
A troyer is a cross between a turtleneck sweater and a zip-up jumper. When the zip is fully closed, a high, close-fitting collar warms the neck. If the zip is opened, the collar lies flat on the shoulders.
A turtleneck jumper is less suitable for sporting activities. It is not flexible enough and always stays high up around the neck. When the weather and body temperature change, this can be annoying.
Whether functional, practical or chic - jumpers for women and men differ in terms of their shape. Women's sweaters/jumpers are usually slightly fitted and have a more feminine cut. A men's sweaters/jumpers, on the other hand, have wider shoulders, long sleeves and a straight cut. In any case, the choice is huge and there are numerous models for every sport and activity.
