Bandier Sweatshirt | Premium Activewear Fleece
Our Bandier sweatshirt is engineered for women who refuse to compromise between performance and style. This is the fleece piece you'll reach for before every workout, after every class, and on every travel day.
Crafted from our signature performance fleece blend, this sweatshirt delivers warmth without bulk and breathability where you need it most. The slightly oversized silhouette flatters every body type while allowing complete freedom of movement. Dropped shoulders and a relaxed fit through the body create that coveted off-duty athletic aesthetic.
We designed this piece with seamless side panels to eliminate chafing during high-intensity movement. Ribbed cuffs and hem keep everything in place whether you're flowing through vinyasa or sprinting to your next meeting. The cropped length hits right at the hip, perfect for pairing with high-waisted leggings or joggers.
What makes this sweatshirt special
Fabric & construction details
We source our performance fleece from mills that specialize in athletic textiles, ensuring every Bandier sweatshirt delivers the perfect balance of softness and durability. The 78% cotton blend provides natural breathability and comfort against skin, while 22% polyester adds structure and moisture management.
Our seamless side panels are engineered using flatlock stitching that lies completely flat against your body. This construction method eliminates the raised seams that cause irritation during movement, making this sweatshirt ideal for layering under jackets or wearing solo during warm-ups.
Sizing & fit guide
Our Bandier sweatshirt runs slightly oversized by design, creating that relaxed athletic silhouette our community loves. We recommend ordering your true size for the intended fit.
Model measurements: Our studio imagery features a size Small on a 5’9″ model with a 34″ bust and 26″ waist. The cropped hem hits approximately 2 inches below her natural waist when paired with high-rise leggings.
Care instructions
Proper care extends the life of your Bandier sweatshirt and maintains its performance properties through hundreds of wears. Machine wash cold with like colors using a gentle cycle. We recommend turning the garment inside out before washing to preserve exterior color vibrancy.
Avoid fabric softeners, which coat the performance fibers and reduce moisture-wicking capabilities. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry—high heat can damage the cotton-polyester blend and cause unwanted shrinkage despite pre-treatment.

Your sweatshirt questions answered
Our sweatshirt runs slightly oversized by design with dropped shoulders and a relaxed body. If you typically wear a Small in fitted activewear tops, a Small in this style will give you the intended oversized look. The cropped length is true to size and hits approximately 2 inches below the natural waist when paired with high-rise bottoms.
For reference, this fits roomier than technical workout tops but more structured than traditional loungewear. We recommend ordering your usual size for the signature relaxed fit our community loves.
Absolutely. We engineered this sweatshirt with seamless side panels and performance fleece specifically for active movement. The cotton-polyester blend wicks moisture effectively during warm-ups, cooldowns, and moderate-intensity training sessions.
Many of our customers wear it for barre, pilates, yoga, and strength training. For very high-intensity cardio or hot yoga, you may prefer a lighter-weight technical top, but this piece excels as a studio arrival layer and post-workout essential.
Our performance fleece blend combines the natural softness of cotton with the structure and moisture management of polyester. Unlike 100% cotton sweatshirts that absorb and hold moisture, our 78/22 blend actively wicks sweat away from skin.
The fabric also resists pilling and maintains its shape better than pure cotton. We use a 320 GSM weight that provides substantial warmth without the bulk of traditional fleece, and the pre-shrinking treatment means the fit stays consistent wash after wash.
Yes, tumble dry on low heat. We recommend low rather than high to preserve the fabric's performance properties and prevent any potential shrinkage. For longest garment life, you can also lay flat to air dry.
Avoid using fabric softeners or dryer sheets, as they coat the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking capabilities. The sweatshirt dries relatively quickly due to the polyester content in the performance blend.
Our Black and Heather Grey colorways are the most versatile and coordinate with virtually every piece in your activewear wardrobe. Black offers a sleek, polished look that transitions easily from studio to street, while Heather Grey provides a softer, lived-in aesthetic.
Navy is another excellent neutral that pairs beautifully with both cool and warm tones. Sage has become a customer favorite for those looking to add a subtle pop of color while maintaining versatility.
Our performance fleece is specifically engineered to resist pilling. The polyester content in the blend helps maintain fabric integrity through repeated washing and wearing. We use high-quality yarn and tight knitting construction to minimize fiber breakdown.
Customers report that even after months of regular wear and washing, their sweatshirts maintain the same soft hand feel and smooth exterior. Following our care instructions—washing cold, tumble dry low, and avoiding fabric softeners—maximizes fabric longevity.
Yes, the performance fleece blend is surprisingly breathable for a sweatshirt. The polyester content helps regulate temperature and wick moisture, making it comfortable for spring and fall weather or air-conditioned indoor spaces.
Many customers wear it year-round as a layering piece, removing it as needed during workouts. For very hot summer weather, you may prefer our lighter-weight options, but this sweatshirt works beautifully for morning and evening wear even in warmer months.
