Adidas Originals Men's 3 Stripe Track Jacket
Archival Utility: The adidas Essentials 3-Stripes Full-Zip Fleece Track Jacket Experience unreal comfort and a locked-in athletic profile engineered to handle rapid climate shifts from the locker room to the street. The EI8996 is designed as a foundational training layer, bridging pre-tournament warm-ups, post-gym cooldowns, and brisk commutes. The deep "Legend Ink" navy hue acts as a primary colour story, punctuated by high-contrast white 3-Stripes running the length of the sleeves to deliver immediate track-and-field authority.
Benefits: Designed for high-velocity daily transitions, this track jacket is crafted from a durable 70/30 cotton-recycled polyester fleece with a plush brushed-back interior that acts as a primary defence against biting drafts. The classic regular silhouette is cut wider through the chest and torso, granting the complete range of movement required for a successful tackle of dynamic stretching or easy transit over technical gym gear. Finished with a heavy-duty full-front zipper and split kangaroo pockets, this piece delivers functional temperature regulation and reliable everyday utility.
Key Features:
-
Brushed-Back Cotton Fleece: Heavy-duty 70% cotton and 30% polyester blend engineered for unreal thermal insulation, soft hand-feel, and lasting structural integrity.
-
Full-Zip Front Closure: High-grade zipper mechanism running from hem to stand-up collar for rapid venting and effortless layering.
-
Signature 3-Stripes Arm Detailing: Continuous high-contrast white striping down both sleeves celebrating authentic heritage sport pedigree.
-
Split Kangaroo Pouch: Functional front hand pockets configured to shelter chilled fingers and secure quick-access items on the move.
-
Shape-Holding Ribbed Trims: Resilient 1x1 ribbed cuffs and waistband engineered to seal out crosswinds and keep the jacket anchored during motion.

Buyer Guidance & Fit Profile:
-
Who This Product Is Best Suited For: Ideal for five-a-side competitors, gym commuters, and heritage sportswear enthusiasts seeking a low-maintenance, thermal fleece layer with classic touchline DNA. Seamlessly coordinates with the matching EI9005 fleece track pants, clean white base tees, technical wind shells, and archival trainers like the Samba, Gazelle, or Stan Smith. Not intended for high-output distance running, prolonged outdoor downpours, or hot-weather midsummer wear where heavy brushed fleece traps excessive heat.
-
Fit & Sizing Determination: Fits True to Size (TTS) in an authentic, easy-wearing Regular Fit. The cut provides intentional breadth through the chest, shoulders, and waist, falling in a clean straight silhouette that effortlessly accommodates a compression base layer or standard gym t-shirt underneath. Wearers seeking a tailored, body-hugging aesthetic should consider sizing down by one half-size to one full size, while those desiring a roomy, slouchy 90s warm-up drape should remain with their standard size.
-
Recommended Conditions & Activities: Optimised for brisk morning commutes, touchline substitutions, gym cool-downs, and casual weekend errands in cool to mild conditions. The brushed fleece lining traps radiant body warmth while remaining breathable enough for indoor-to-outdoor transitions. Care Recommendation: Fully close the front zipper, turn inside out, and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like dark colours; line dry naturally away from direct heat to protect the zipper track, maintain fleece softness, and prevent cotton shrinkage.
