Sportswear

Kids' sportswear gathers the technical garments children actually train in: breathable tops, light bottoms, base layers and pieces designed to survive PE lessons, club sessions and the washing machine in equal measure.

Quick-drying fabrics matter more than anything else at this age, because children sweat, sit down and cool off very quickly. Flat seams prevent rubbing, elasticated waists adjust as they grow, and simple fastenings mean they can get changed without help.
