Dress too lightly and you get cold during the breaks. Dress too warmly and after a quarter of an hour you are soaked in sweat and end up even colder. Below is a tried-and-tested layering system, plus a few notes on gloves, socks and what to put in your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three layers instead of one thick hoodie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sports medicine guidance for exercise in the cold describes clothing as three layers with different jobs. This set-up lets you take clothes off and put them back on during the session, in other words match them to how much heat you are producing at that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Base layer<\/strong> \u2013 a close-fitting long-sleeved top made of synthetic fibre or merino wool. Its job is to move sweat away from the skin. Cotton soaks up moisture and dries slowly, so it is a poor choice for autumn.<\/li><li><strong>Insulating layer<\/strong> \u2013 a midlayer top or a thin fleece. A zip at the neck makes it easy to regulate your temperature without taking the top off.<\/li><li><strong>Outer layer<\/strong> \u2013 a softshell or light jacket that keeps out wind and drizzle. It is useful for the journey, the warm-up and the breaks; it usually comes off for the main part of the session.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simple check: at the start of the warm-up you may feel slightly cool. If you already feel distinctly warm before you start running, you may overheat after a few minutes; adjust the layers to your own comfort, wind and rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to wear in each part of the session<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Part of the session<\/th><th>What to wear<\/th><th>What to watch out for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Journey and start of the warm-up<\/td><td>all three layers, a hat or headband<\/td><td>do not start the warm-up already cold<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>End of the warm-up<\/td><td>take off the outer layer<\/td><td>put it somewhere dry, not on the wet turf<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Main part<\/td><td>base layer and a shirt or thin top<\/td><td>a top soaked in sweat chills you in every break<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Breaks, team talk, bench<\/td><td>jacket back on<\/td><td>put it on straight away, not after five minutes of standing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>After training<\/td><td>a dry shirt and top from your bag<\/td><td>in wet clothes the body cools down quickly<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On cold days it is worth starting the warm-up more gently and giving it a few extra minutes. You will find a ready-made routine in our post <a href=\"\/en\/rozgrzewka-przed-treningiem-i-meczem-hokeja-na-trawie\/\">warm-up before training and matches<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legs: leggings, long socks and inner socks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For training you can wear thin thermal leggings under your shorts or skort. For matches the team kit applies: FIH rule 4.1 requires field players of the same team to wear uniform clothing, while the regulations for a particular competition may specify the colour of visible thermal underwear. Ask at your club before you buy leggings in a bright colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose socks and hockey socks so that the shoe and the shin guard sit securely; two layers are not necessary in every set-up. A thick winter sock changes the fit of both the shoe and the shin guard, so try the whole set on at home, not at the pitch. Put a spare dry pair in your bag for the journey home. We covered choosing shin guards in our post <a href=\"\/en\/nagolenniki-i-ochraniacz-na-zeby-co-obowiazkowe-jak-dobrac\/\">shin guards and a mouthguard<\/a>, and footwear for a wet pitch in our post <a href=\"\/en\/buty-do-hokeja-turf-czy-halowki\/\">hockey shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hands: a field glove is not a winter glove<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A field glove protects the knuckles from the ball and an opponent's stick; it provides little warmth. Cold fingers have less feel for the stick, which is why in autumn some players wear a thin thermal glove on the right hand or under the protective glove. There is one condition: your grip must stay secure. Test it with a few passes before you start playing. Remember too that hand protection used in a match must stay within the size limit in FIH rule 4.2 (290 \u00d7 180 \u00d7 110 mm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good grip also helps on a wet stick. We explained when to replace it in our post <a href=\"\/en\/owijka-na-kij-zamsz-czy-syntetyk-kiedy-wymienic-i-jak-nawinac\/\">stick grips<\/a>. You will find protective gloves in our category <a href=\"\/en\/sklep\/rekawice\/\">Gloves<\/a>, and we cover how to choose them in our post <a href=\"\/en\/rekawica-polowa-kiedy-potrzebna-i-jak-ja-dobrac\/\">field glove<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head and neck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For training, a thin hat or an ear-warmer headband and a neck warmer work well. Choose items with no hard parts, buckles or long cords. In a match the general principle of rule 4.2 applies: a player must not wear anything which is dangerous to other players, so agree any extras with your coach beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The goalkeeper gets cold differently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A goalkeeper wears thick foam but stands still for long minutes and, after a run of saves, is soaked in sweat. A long-sleeved, full-length thermal layer works well under the kit, with a jacket thrown over the chest guard during breaks. After an autumn session the kit needs to come out of the bag and be dried the same day. More on the goalkeeper's set in our post <a href=\"\/en\/sprzet-bramkarski-od-zera-jak-skompletowac-zestaw\/\">goalkeeping kit from scratch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Autumn kit-bag checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>a long-sleeved thermal top and a second, dry one for the journey home,<\/li><li>a midlayer top and a softshell or windproof jacket,<\/li><li>a thin hat or headband and a neck warmer,<\/li><li>a thin glove for the right hand and a protective glove for the left,<\/li><li>spare socks and a small towel,<\/li><li>a bag for wet items, so they do not soak the rest of your kit,<\/li><li>a warm drink in a flask for the journey home.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you get home, take everything wet out of the bag and hang it up to dry. Gloves and shin guards should be dried at room temperature, away from the radiator. We explained how to organise your bag so that wet items have their own place in our post <a href=\"\/en\/torba-na-kije-jak-spakowac-sie-na-trening-i-turniej\/\">stick bag<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will find long-sleeved tops, midlayers and softshell jackets in our section <a href=\"\/en\/sklep\/odziez\/\">training clothing<\/a>, and bags with separate compartments in our category <a href=\"\/en\/sklep\/torby-i-plecaki\/\">Bags and Backpacks<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn field hockey training: three clothing layers, gloves, socks and a kit-bag checklist.
