Training Tracksuits Puma

The side stripe tracksuit, an icon Puma since 1968

Although the brand founded in 1948 by Rudolf Dassler first made a name for itself with its shoes, the tracksuit became one of its emblematic pieces starting in 1968. That year, Puma introduced a matching jacket and trousers, featuring a wide stripe on the sides of the sleeves and legs, designed for athletes' freedom of movement. The design has stood the test of time and has established itself on the streets, becoming a classic that is regularly reissued. Today's training tracksuits retain this idea of a side stripe, combined with technical fabrics and the leaping cat logo.

Samoa, Ireland, Bulls: the warm-up gear of Puma teams

In rugby, the warm-up kits by Puma have accompanied teams from several continents. The brand signed with the Manu Samoa in 2005, and dressed Ireland from 2009 to 2014. In South Africa, the Bulls and the Cheetahs also wore the leaping cat. Players perform their activation in a zipped jacket before removing it for opposition exercises, a practice adopted by amateur clubs. For them, a Puma tracksuit brings that team look, with body-hugging cuts and materials designed for repeated effort.

dryCELL or warmCELL, and the right size for trousers

Puma distinguishes between two families of fabrics. The dryCELL, which wicks moisture and dries quickly, is used in tracksuits worn during warm-ups and training sessions. The warmCELL retains body heat and is suitable for waitwear, on the sidelines or in winter bleachers. For the size, the jacket is chosen based on the chest measurement from the brand's guide, with a margin if it covers a thick jersey; the trousers are sized at the waist, checking the inseam to ensure a tapered bottom doesn't rise up on the ankle. Everything should be washed at thirty degrees, inside out and without fabric softener.

Frequently asked questions

Why are Argentinians called the Pumas?

The nickname dates back to a tour in South Africa in 1965: a local journalist mistook the jaguar on the Argentinian crest for a puma. The name stuck, with no connection to the German brand of the same name.

Where is Puma's headquarters?

In Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, the small town where Rudolf Dassler founded the company in 1948. The brand still has its headquarters there, making it one of the major German names in sports gear.

Is a Puma tracksuit suitable for a child?

Yes, Puma offers many tracksuits in children's sizes, expressed by age or height. You choose the size based on the child's actual stature and take a size up so they can wear it all year round.

How can I prevent a Puma tracksuit from losing its shape?

Avoid using very hot water and the tumble dryer, which relax the elastic fibers of the ankles and waist. The trousers should be hung to dry by the waistband, and the jacket on a wide hanger, zipped up to maintain the shape of the collar.

Complete tracksuit or just a jacket for warming up?

The jacket alone is sufficient in mild weather, when the legs warm up quickly during runs. Once the cold or humidity kicks in, the trousers keep the thighs and hamstrings warm, reducing the risk of muscle injury at the start of a session.
