Product Overview
The Finden & Hales Kids Tracksuit Top is a sophisticated performance layer designed specifically for the rigorous demands of school sports and junior athletic clubs. This quarter-zip garment combines functional design with a contemporary aesthetic, making it an essential component of any youth team kit. Its construction focuses on mobility and durability, ensuring that young athletes can perform at their best while maintaining a professional appearance.
Key Features
- Contrast Upper Chest and Underarm Panels: These panels provide a distinct, multi-tone look that is ideal for incorporating team or school colours, ensuring the squad stands out on the field.
- Semi-Automatic Zip Pull and Slider: This feature ensures the zip stays securely in position during physical activity, preventing it from sliding down or flapping during movement.
- Reverse Nylon Zips on Side Pockets: The inverted zip design provides a cleaner finish and protects the zip teeth from debris, while keeping personal items secure.
- 1x1 Ribbed Cuff Sleeves: The elasticated ribbing ensures a snug fit around the wrists, preventing sleeves from riding up and keeping heat trapped when needed.
- Tear-Out Label: This allows for easy removal of the manufacturer tag, preventing skin irritation and allowing for bespoke re-branding if required.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, this tracksuit top is a medium-weight garment that balances warmth with breathability. Polyester is naturally moisture-wicking, making it the superior choice for high-intensity activities where moisture management is critical. The inclusion of side panels provides an anatomical fit that moves with the wearer, reducing bulk and enhancing comfort during exercise.
The fabric is resilient enough to withstand the rough-and-tumble of junior sports, maintaining its shape and colour through repeated wear and washing. The 1/4 zip design allows for easy temperature regulation, providing extra ventilation when the pace picks up or extra coverage during cool-downs.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we specialise in turning standard garments into high-quality uniforms. This tracksuit top is exceptionally well-suited for both embroidery and print. For a more formal, permanent finish, we recommend embroidery for school crests or club logos. This method provides a textured, high-quality look that withstands the test of time.
If you require larger branding, such as a school name across the back or sponsor details, heat-applied print is an excellent choice. It allows for vibrant, large-scale graphics without adding significant weight to the garment. Our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting this craft since 1976, will ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for junior school sports teams, extracurricular athletics clubs, and as part of a formalised physical education kit. Its unisex design makes it a versatile option for all students, ensuring a unified look across the entire cohort. It is equally effective as a warm-up top or as a stand-alone layer for outdoor training sessions.

Practical Advice
The size range covers children from age 3/4 up to 13, spanning chest sizes from 22 inches to 34 inches. For the best fit, we recommend measuring the child's chest over a light t-shirt. This top is designed to be worn over base layers, so if the athlete is between sizes, opting for the larger size may allow for more comfortable layering during winter months.
Caring for your product
To ensure this tracksuit top maintains its technical properties and your custom branding stays intact, it requires proper maintenance. Start by using a 40°C synthetic wash cycle. This temperature is sufficient to remove sweat and dirt without damaging the synthetic fibres or causing the fabric to lose its shape.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleach will break down the polyester fibres and lead to significant discolouration, particularly on the contrast panels. Similarly, do not dry clean this item, as the chemicals used in the process can be too harsh for the fabric and any applied branding.
Avoid the use of fabric softeners. Softeners coat the fibres and clog the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester, effectively rendering the performance aspects of the garment useless. To dry, we recommend air drying only; do not tumble dry, as excessive heat can warp the nylon zips and damage printed logos.
If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side. Never iron directly over a print or embroidery, as this will melt the adhesive or damage the thread, compromising the professional finish of your kit.
