Rugby tracksuit clearance

The players' outfit before kick-off

The tracksuit accompanies players at every stage leading up to the match: arriving at the stadium, checking out the pitch, and the first few minutes of warm-up, before being taken off in the changing room. The substitutes keep it on the bench to stay warm until they enter the game. Teams often differentiate between the away kit, which is smarter and worn in airports and hotels, and the warm-up tracksuit, which is more technical. Supporters can find either version, in the colours of their club or nation.

Knit, woven or brushed fleece: the materials

Most rugby tracksuits are made of polyester knit, soft and slightly stretchy, which doesn't crease at the bottom of a bag during travel. Some jackets use a woven polyester, which is smoother and windproof. For winter, styles with a brushed fleece interior, similar to a lightweight fleece, keep warmth better on the sideline. The trousers are distinguished by their hems: fitted with a ribbed cuff, they stay in place at the ankle; tapered and equipped with a zip, they come off in seconds when it's time to play.

Jacket size, trouser length and children's sizes

The jacket is chosen based on the chest measurement, allowing enough room to fasten it over a mid-layer; the sleeves should cover the wrist with arms extended. The trousers are chosen based on the waist measurement, then the inseam length is checked: trousers that are too long wear out from contact with the ground, while trousers that are too short ride up as soon as you sit in the stands. For children, sizes are expressed by age, but height in centimetres remains the best guide, with one size up if the outfit is expected to last more than one winter.

Frequently asked questions

Can you buy the jacket and trousers separately?

Depending on the models, the jacket and trousers are sold separately or as a set. Buying them separately allows you to choose different sizes for the top and bottom, which is useful when body shapes don't match the same size standard.

How to wash a polyester tracksuit?

Zip up the zippers, turn the items inside out, and wash at 30 degrees, without fabric softener, which clogs the technical fibres. Air drying is sufficient and preserves the heat-sealed logos.

What tracksuit for a child at rugby school?

A tracksuit made of polyester knit, easy to wash and dry from weekend to weekend, is the most practical. Clubs often offer their own model, worn by children during tournaments and away matches.

Is there a rugby team tracksuit for France?

Yes, the XV de France has official tracksuits, worn by players during travels and warm-ups, also available in supporter versions. Blue predominates, with the rooster on the chest.

How to avoid pilling on a tracksuit?

Pilling occurs from friction: wash the tracksuit inside out, with similar textiles, fastening any hook-and-loop strips. A lint shaver can then take care of worn areas like the inner thighs and wrists.
