When to Use Hats & Gloves
Caps are ideal for outdoor runs, particularly in bright conditions or when you need to keep rain or sweat away from your face. They're also useful in the gym when you want to stay focused without worrying about hair getting in the way.
Training gloves come into their own during weightlifting sessions, especially when working with barbells, dumbbells, or pull-up bars. They provide grip support and hand protection, making it easier to maintain proper form during heavy lifts or high-volume training.
Hats & Gloves Benefits
Enhanced Grip and Protection
Training gloves provide a secure grip on equipment whilst protecting your palms from calluses and blisters. This means you can focus on your form and performance rather than discomfort during your sets.
Weather Protection
Caps shield your face from sun and rain during outdoor training, helping you maintain visibility and comfort whatever the weather. This makes it easier to stick to your routine year-round without conditions getting in the way.
Improved Focus
The right accessories help eliminate distractions during training. When you're not thinking about sweat in your eyes or uncomfortable hands, you can concentrate entirely on executing each movement properly.
Durability for Regular Training

FAQs
What are hats and gloves used for in training?
Hats provide protection from sun and rain during outdoor sessions whilst keeping sweat away from your face. Training gloves offer grip support and hand protection during weightlifting, making it more comfortable to work with barbells, dumbbells, and other equipment.
How do I choose the right training gloves?
Consider the type of training you do most often. If you're focused on heavy lifting, look for gloves with padding across the palm for protection. For general gym work, lighter gloves with good grip might be more suitable.
The fit matters too – gloves should feel snug without restricting movement. Many people prefer trying them on before buying, but checking size guides carefully works well for online purchases.
Can I wear a baseball cap indoors at the gym?
Yes, many people wear caps during indoor training sessions. They're useful for keeping hair secured and sweat managed, particularly during high-intensity workouts or when you want to maintain focus without distractions.
How should I care for training gloves?
Most training gloves can be hand-washed with mild detergent and left to air dry. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and reduce their lifespan. Regular cleaning after sweaty sessions helps prevent odour build-up.
Do I need gloves for bodyweight exercises?
For most bodyweight work, gloves aren't essential. However, they can be helpful for exercises like pull-ups or rope climbs where grip and hand protection matter. Many people prefer working without gloves for movements like press-ups to maintain better connection with the ground.
What makes a good gym cap different from a regular cap?
Gym caps typically use moisture-wicking fabrics that manage sweat better than standard cotton caps. They often feature breathable panels and adjustable closures that stay secure during movement. The materials are usually designed to withstand frequent washing without losing shape.
How often should I replace my training gloves?
This depends on how frequently you train and how you care for them. With regular use and proper maintenance, quality training gloves typically last several months to a year. Replace them when you notice significant wear on the grip areas or if the padding becomes compressed and uncomfortable.
Who designs Myprotein's training accessories?
Myprotein's range of hats, gloves, and training accessories is developed by our team of sports apparel specialists who understand what active people need from their gear. Each piece is designed to combine practical functionality with durability for regular training use.
Can training gloves help with grip strength development?
Training gloves provide support and protection, but they don't directly develop grip strength. Some people actually prefer training without gloves occasionally to work on grip alongside their main lifts. The choice depends on your specific training goals and preferences.
Are these accessories suitable for outdoor sports beyond gym training?
Absolutely. Baseball caps work well for running, cycling, hiking, and various outdoor activities. Training gloves can be useful for activities requiring grip and hand protection, though you might want sport-specific gloves for certain disciplines like cycling or rowing.
