Hockey Clothing

What kind of field hockey clothing should you wear?

Field hockey players require comfortable clothing made from lightweight, sweat-wicking fabric that lets you move and helps you stay cool on the pitch. For women, the adidas range of high-quality field hockey apparel includes shorts, leggings and joggers, tank tops and racer-back sports bras for support. Men can select from graphic shorts, tapered tracksuit bottoms and t-shirts. When you’re warming up or cooling down, slip on a cosy adidas track top. Field hockey clothing by adidas features contrast Trefoil emblems to show your adidas pride.

adidas field hockey apparel for beginners and pros

Designed for comfort and durability, the adidas range of field hockey clothing has been constructed from a blend of sustainable recycled polyester, ultra-soft French terry, cosy cotton and elastane for extra stretch. High-rise leggings offer full coverage, and moisture-wicking adidas shorts feature mesh inserts for improved ventilation to leave you feeling dry and comfortable. Slim-cut joggers and tracksuit bottoms have stretchy elastic waists for a custom fit and are tapered at the ankle for an elegant, sporty look. For cold days on the pitch, add an adidas hoodie, tracksuit top or fleece sweatshirt. The range of adidas field hockey clothing also includes accessories such as sports sunglasses and large bags that can fit all your field hockey gear.  

What additional protective gear do you need?

Although field hockey is not considered a contact sport, players still risk getting hurt and should always wear protective gear over their field hockey clothing. If you are playing on grass or a wet field, choose cleats for more traction and control. Strap on shin guards up to your knee for added protection around the lower leg and ankles. Players can shoot the ball at nearly 100 km/h, so if you’re the goalkeeper, you’ll need a higher level of protective gear. Helmets should fully cover the face while a chest pad protects the torso. Arm and elbow guards, goalkeeping girdles and throat protectors are also essential.
