Hats & Gloves

Shop Hats & Gloves at Myprotein

Training doesn't stop when the temperature drops. Whether you're hitting the weights, running outdoors, or pushing through a tough session, the right gear keeps you comfortable and focused on what matters.

Our hats and gloves are designed for athletes who train year-round. From lifting gloves that protect your hands during heavy sessions to caps that keep the sun out of your eyes, each piece is built to perform when it counts.

Who These Are For

These accessories are for anyone who trains seriously. Lifters use gloves to maintain grip and protect their palms during heavy compounds. Runners and outdoor athletes rely on caps to manage sweat and shield their eyes from the elements.

If you're training consistently and want gear that works as hard as you do, these pieces fit straight into your routine. They're designed for real training sessions, not just the Instagram story.

When to Use Hats & Gloves

Lifting gloves come into their own during heavy barbell work, pull-ups, and any session where grip matters. They create a barrier between your hands and the bar, reducing calluses and letting you focus on the lift rather than your grip giving out.

Caps work best during outdoor training sessions or any workout where sweat management matters. Whether you're running, cycling, or training outside, a cap keeps visibility clear and helps you stay in the zone.

Hats & Gloves Benefits

Improved Grip and Hand Protection

Lifting gloves provide a secure grip on bars and equipment while protecting your palms from friction and pressure. This means you can focus on pushing your limits rather than worrying about your hands.

Sweat Management

Caps wick moisture away from your forehead and eyes, keeping your vision clear during intense sessions. No more wiping sweat mid-set or losing focus when it matters most.

Durability for Regular Training

These accessories are built to withstand frequent use. Quality materials mean they'll hold up session after session, wash after wash, without falling apart or losing performance.

Practical Performance Design

Every detail serves a purpose. From breathable fabrics to reinforced stitching, these pieces are designed around what actually happens during training, not just how they look in the mirror.

FAQs

What are training hats and gloves?

Training hats and gloves are functional accessories designed for gym and outdoor workouts. Lifting gloves protect your hands during barbell work and provide better grip, while caps manage sweat and shield your eyes during intense sessions.

Who developed these hats and gloves?

Myprotein's product development team designed these accessories with input from athletes who train regularly. Each piece is built around real training needs rather than trends, focusing on durability and practical performance.

How do I choose the right lifting gloves?

Consider your main training focus. Full coverage gloves work best for heavy barbell movements and pull-ups, offering maximum palm protection. Look for reinforced stitching and breathable materials that won't fall apart after a few weeks of regular use.

When should I wear a training cap?

Caps are most useful during outdoor training sessions or any workout where sweat management matters. They're particularly valuable for running, cycling, or outdoor circuits where keeping sweat out of your eyes helps maintain focus and performance.

Do lifting gloves affect my grip strength?

Lifting gloves create a barrier between your hands and the bar, which some lifters prefer for comfort during high-volume sessions. Many athletes rotate between using gloves for certain exercises and going bare-handed for others, depending on the movement and training goals.

How do I care for my training gloves?

Wash them regularly to prevent bacteria build-up and odour. Most lifting gloves can be hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried. Avoid putting them in the dryer, as heat can break down the materials and reduce their lifespan.

What makes a good training cap?

Look for moisture-wicking fabrics that pull sweat away from your skin. A structured design maintains its shape during training, while breathable panels prevent overheating. The cap should fit securely without being tight enough to cause discomfort during movement.

Can I use these accessories for different types of training?

Yes, both hats and gloves work across various training styles. Lifting gloves suit weight training, CrossFit, and bodyweight exercises. Caps perform well during running, cycling, outdoor training, and even casual gym sessions where sweat management matters.

How often should I replace my training accessories?

Replace them when they show significant wear. For gloves, watch for thinning material in high-friction areas or loose stitching. Caps should be replaced when they lose their shape or the sweatband stops managing moisture effectively. With proper care, quality pieces typically last months of regular training.

What's the difference between these and regular caps or gloves?

Training-specific gear is built for performance rather than fashion. The materials handle sweat better, construction focuses on durability during movement, and design prioritises function over style. They're made to withstand the demands of regular, intense training sessions.
