Engineered for Performance

The Russell Kids Authentic Hooded Sweatshirt is the gold standard for schoolwear and youth team kits. Engineered with Russell's signature 3-layer fabric technology, this garment utilises a high-cotton surface for superior printing results, while the inner layers provide structure and warmth. The 280gsm weight strikes the perfect balance between durability and breathability, making it suitable for year-round use in playgrounds and classrooms. The inclusion of a taped neck and coverseamed stress points (hood, shoulders, armholes) ensures that this hoodie can withstand the rough and tumble of active childhood use without losing its shape. The fabric composition—80% combed ringspun cotton and 20% polyester—offers the softness of cotton with the resilience of polyester, ensuring colour retention and resistance to shrinkage after repeated washes. This is a garment built to last the academic year and beyond. For a complete uniform solution, this hoodie serves as a robust outer layer that works perfectly over Kids T-shirts, providing a consistent and professional look for schools and clubs.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Comfort is critical for children's clothing to ensure focus and freedom of movement. This hoodie features a brushed back fleece interior that feels soft against the skin, preventing irritation during active play or study. The drop shoulder style allows for a relaxed fit that accommodates growth and layering, while the 1x1 ribbed cuffs and hem provide a snug seal against draughts without being restrictive. The double fabric hood adds an extra layer of protection against the elements, and the front pouch pocket is reinforced with bartacks to securely hold small items or keep hands warm. Available in a wide range of sizes, it ensures every child in a team or class can be outfitted identically. The straighter cut is modern and unisex, suitable for all students. It is a reliable staple that combines the practicality required by parents and schools with the comfort demanded by kids. You can easily complete the uniform with Kids Sports gear for PE kits and sports days.
