A good hoodie is the layer you reach for before training, after training and on every day in between. The women’s OlyCore Essential Hoodie is designed to be exactly that. See the women’s hoodies category.
Built as a refined everyday layer
The Essential Hoodie is crafted from a carefully balanced cotton-poly blend that feels soft against the skin while holding its shape and clean silhouette over time. It is part of the OlyCore line, Olympa’s foundation of refined, versatile performance wear.

When to wear it
- Warm-ups and cooldowns.
- Travel and commuting.
- Recovery days and errands.
Colours
Choose from Creme, Dark Brown, Dark Green, Dark Red, Light Brown and White.
Style it
Pair it with the OlyFlow SoftSlide Leggings for a soft, relaxed look, or with the OlyMotion Core Leggings straight after a session. For a lighter layer, try a zip jacket.
Who the Essential Hoodie is for
This hoodie is for women who want one dependable layer for before training, after training and everything in between. It is structured enough to look put-together on the school run, at a café or on a flight, and soft enough to pull on over a sports bra after a sweaty session.
The cotton-poly blend
Cotton brings softness and a natural feel against the skin, and polyester adds durability so the hoodie keeps its shape and clean silhouette over time. It is designed as a lifestyle and warm-up layer rather than a technical training top, so pair it with OlyMotion or OlyFlow pieces underneath.
Outfit ideas
- Post-workout: Essential Hoodie over the Core Sports Bra with Core Leggings.
- Yoga and stretching: hoodie with SoftSlide Leggings or Elegance Flares.
- Travel: hoodie in Creme or Light Brown with Align Leggings in Black.
- Weekend errands: hoodie with SoftSlide Shorts on warmer days.
Choosing your size
The hoodie comes in sizes S to XL. Check the size chart on the product page, and size up for a relaxed, oversized look.
Care
Wash cold with similar colours and dry on a low setting or flat to protect the fabric and fit.
