Cold weather doesn’t stop lacrosse players — it just changes how they gear up. Whether you’re grinding through early-morning practices or competing deep into the fall season, the right apparel can make or break your performance. At Goose It Lacrosse, we build gear designed for players who refuse to slow down when the temperature falls.
Here’s a complete guide to what to wear in cold weather, how to layer correctly, and which Goose It essentials will keep you warm without sacrificing mobility.
Start With a Quality Base Layer
The first step to staying warm is moisture control. Lacrosse demands constant movement, and sweat can quickly turn cold if your base layer isn’t doing its job.
Look for:
-
Sweat-wicking tees
-
Light compression layers
-
Close-fit materials that trap heat without restricting movement
A solid base sets the foundation for the rest of your layers — keeping your core warm and ready for game-speed reps.
Mid-Layer: Warmth Without Bulk
Your mid-layer provides insulation, and this is where the right lacrosse hoodie makes all the difference.
Goose It hoodies are built for players, mixing mobility, warmth, and durability. Three standouts for cold-weather training include:
1. Staple Hoodie – Powder
Soft, warm, and built for everyday grinding. The Staple Hoodie – Powder offers a balanced weight that makes it ideal for layering or wearing solo on mild winter days. Clean look, athletic fit, and premium feel — this is a must-have for cold-weather practices.
2. Built on the Wall Hoodie
If you want something a little heavier with a structured, durable fit, the Built on the Wall Hoodie delivers. It’s designed for players who want a hoodie that holds up to tough practices, wall-ball sessions, and cold-weather game days. Warm, tough, and built for work.
3. Silhouette Lacrosse Hoodie
A sleek, lacrosse-first design that delivers comfort with a statement. The Silhouette Lacrosse Hoodie offers a soft interior and relaxed, athletic fit — perfect for pregame warmups or layering under a jacket during winter tournaments.
Each hoodie is made to handle the cold while giving you the freedom to shoot, dodge, run, and lift without ever feeling restricted.
Top Layer: Add Wind & Weather Protection
On windy or freezing days, you’ll want a lightweight top layer to block the elements.
Recommendations include:
-
Windbreakers or shell jackets
-
Water-resistant outer layers for wet turf or snowfall
-
Pieces that fit comfortably over your hoodie
This layer shouldn’t be too thick — you’re protecting against wind-chill, not adding unnecessary bulk.
Gloves, Headwear & Accessories
Cold weather hits the extremities first. Don’t forget:
-
Thin thermal gloves for warm-ups
-
Beanies or ear-warmers under your helmet straps
-
Neck gaiters to hold heat and block wind
-
Thick socks to keep your feet warm on frozen turf
Small upgrades like these can make long practices far more comfortable.
Game-Day Tip: Stay Warm Before Faceoff
The key to performing in the cold is staying warm before the whistle. Keep your hoodie on until the moment you're stepping onto the field. A warm body reacts faster, moves smoother, and absorbs contact better.
Final Thoughts
Cold weather shouldn’t keep you from playing your best lacrosse — it should only change the gear you bring to the field. With the right layers, a warm lacrosse hoodie, and a smart setup, you’ll stay comfortable and ready to perform all winter long.
