Essentials - Hoodie

Part of kayak life never appears in a training plan. It is the conversation afterwards, the odd joke and the extra ten minutes that turn into an hour. That is the feeling behind Essentials Hoodie. A relaxed part of your wardrobe that carries the community away from the water. The small logo does not need to shout; people who know that feeling understand.

Essentials Hoodie is a Dock Rats hooded sweatshirt made from 65% ring-spun cotton and 35% polyester. At 288.2 g/m², it provides a substantial layer for cooler hours at the club and everyday wear before and after kayak training.

A kangaroo pocket and ribbed cuffs and hem give it a familiar hoodie shape. Wear it over a T-shirt on the way to the club or after changing out of your training kit. Its simple Dock Rats design belongs to the Essentials range and pairs with graphic tees as well as technical layers.

Fit and choosing a size

This model runs small. The supplier recommends choosing one size larger than usual, including when you want a classic hoodie fit. Compare its length and width with a sweatshirt that fits you using the product-specific size chart.

Fabric and construction

65% ring-spun cotton / 35% polyester; 288.2 g/m². Country of origin: Pakistan.

Room for a T-shirt underneath

The hoodie is a layer for the parts of your day after changing out of training clothing. A kangaroo pocket shapes the front, while ribbing finishes the sleeves and hem. Its cotton blend weighs more per square metre than Basic Tee and the technical T-shirts in the range.

To wear it over a wide oversized tee, compare the two garments’ chest widths. The recommendation to size up is a starting point; measurements determine how much room remains underneath.

Is Essentials Hoodie oversized?

No. This model is not described as oversized and may feel small. Use the measurements and the recommendation to size up instead of assuming your usual sweatshirt size will fit.
