Hats & Gloves

Shop Workout Hats & Gloves at Myprotein

Workout hats and gloves are the finishing touches that make training more comfortable, whatever the conditions. Whether you're logging miles outdoors, hitting the weights room, or squeezing in early morning sessions when the temperature drops, the right headwear and hand protection keep you focused on the session rather than the elements. The range covers gym baseball caps built for breathability and adjustable fit, alongside gloves designed to handle the practical demands of training.

The MP Baseball Cap collection brings a clean, functional aesthetic to gym kit. Embroidered eyelets deliver ventilation where it matters, and adjustable velcro straps mean a dialled-in fit regardless of head size. These aren't just accessories — they're practical pieces of kit built around how people actually train.

Who Hats & Gloves Are For

Gym hats and gloves are for anyone who wants their training kit to work as hard as they do. Outdoor runners and cyclists reach for hats to manage sun glare and keep sweat out of their eyes on longer efforts. Weightlifters and gym-goers use gloves to improve grip on bars and protect their hands during heavy sessions. If you train, there's a use case here.

Gym baseball caps are equally at home in a strength session or a morning run — versatile enough to cross over between training environments without missing a beat. The adjustable fit makes them accessible for anyone, and the ventilation design keeps things comfortable during high-output work. If you want headwear that moves with your training, rather than against it, this is the place to start.

When to Use Hats & Gloves

Gym hats come into their own during outdoor training, particularly when the sun is low or conditions are bright. A gym baseball cap keeps glare at bay during early morning runs or outdoor HIIT sessions, and the breathable construction means you won't overheat wearing one indoors either. They're a practical piece of kit year-round, not just a seasonal choice.

Gloves are most useful during sessions that place repeated demands on your hands — barbell work, kettlebell circuits, pull-up progressions, and rowing machine intervals all fall into this category. Wearing them consistently across sessions where grip is a limiting factor is a straightforward way to keep training comfortable over the long term.

Hats & Gloves Benefits

Built-In Ventilation

The MP Baseball Cap features embroidered eyelets positioned to encourage airflow during training. That means less heat build-up during intense sessions and more comfort across the full duration of a workout, whether you're indoors or out.

Adjustable, Secure Fit

Adjustable velcro straps let you find the exact fit you need, without any compromise. No slipping mid-session, no distraction — just a cap that stays where you put it and keeps its shape through movement.

Grip and Hand Protection

Training gloves are built to handle the friction and pressure that comes with repeated bar work, rope climbs, and loaded carries. For anyone training regularly with free weights or pulling movements, gloves reduce the wear on your hands over time.

Versatility Across Training Environments

These pieces work across multiple settings — the gym floor, outdoor tracks, and everything in between. Clean, functional design means they sit comfortably in any training wardrobe without looking out of place.

FAQs

What are the best workout hats for the gym?

The best workout hats for the gym combine breathability, a secure fit, and a low-profile design that doesn't interfere with movement. The MP Baseball Cap in Black or Black/White both deliver on this — embroidered eyelets keep air moving during high-output sessions, and the adjustable velcro strap means the fit stays put whether you're lifting or running.

Are gym baseball caps worth it?

A gym baseball cap earns its place by solving a real problem: keeping sweat and glare out of your eyes so you can focus on training. Beyond pure function, a cap also keeps longer hair managed during dynamic movement. The MP Baseball Cap is designed specifically around training demands, with ventilation and adjustability built in from the start — not added as an afterthought.

What gym hats are available at Myprotein?

The current range includes three MP Baseball Caps — Black/White, Black, and Storm. All three feature adjustable velcro straps for a custom fit. The Black and Black/White versions include embroidered eyelets for ventilation, while the Storm colourway is built with stay-cool ventilation and a snug, adjustable fit. Each one is designed to sit comfortably across different training environments.

What's the difference between the MP Baseball Cap colourways?

The MP Baseball Cap Black and Black/White share the same construction — embroidered eyelets for airflow and a velcro strap for fit adjustment. The Storm colourway uses a stay-cool ventilation design with a snug fit, making it a solid pick for faster-paced outdoor sessions where keeping cool is the priority. The choice between them largely comes down to aesthetic preference and intended training environment.

What should I look for in a gym hat?

Ventilation, fit adjustment, and a brim that actually blocks light without restricting your field of vision are the three things worth prioritising. A gym baseball cap with embroidered or structured eyelets will manage heat better than one without. Adjustable straps — particularly velcro — allow a precise fit that holds across dynamic movements without slipping or needing constant adjustment.

Can I wear a gym baseball cap for outdoor running?

Yes — a gym baseball cap works well for outdoor running, particularly in bright conditions where glare management matters. The breathable construction of the MP Baseball Cap makes it suitable for cardio-based training, not just lifting sessions. The adjustable strap keeps it secure through movement, and the low-profile brim doesn't interfere with peripheral vision during runs.

Who designs the hats and gloves at Myprotein?

The MP range of hats and gloves is developed by Myprotein's in-house design team, built around the practical demands of real training environments. Every detail — from ventilation placement to strap adjustment — is considered in the context of how people actually use their kit, whether that's in the weights room, on a track, or outdoors in variable conditions.

How do I care for my gym baseball cap?

Most structured gym baseball caps are best hand washed in cool water to maintain their shape and preserve the integrity of embroidered detailing. Avoid machine washing on high heat or tumble drying, as this can distort the brim and affect the velcro closure over time. Air drying flat or on a rounded surface helps the cap keep its form between sessions.

Do I need gloves for weight training?

Gloves aren't mandatory for weight training, but they're a practical choice for anyone who trains frequently with barbells, dumbbells, or pull-up bars. They reduce friction on the palms during high-rep or high-load sessions, which can make a noticeable difference to comfort across a full week of training. If hand fatigue or skin wear is a factor in your sessions, gloves are worth considering.

What's the best gym hat for outdoor training in changing weather?

For outdoor training where conditions shift, the MP Baseball Cap Storm is a strong option — its stay-cool ventilation and adjustable snug fit make it adaptable across variable weather. A structured brim offers sun protection during bright spells, while the breathable build keeps things manageable during warmer efforts. The adjustable strap keeps it secure regardless of how the session unfolds.
