Why fighters cut the sleeves off
It is not a gym affectation. A sweatshirt sleeve catches the arm as it extends on a straight punch, and it holds heat exactly where you do not need it.
A boxer’s warm-up raises body temperature fast — rope, shadow, footwork. The torso has to stay covered so the muscles do not cool between sets, but the shoulders and arms have to move freely. Sleeveless solves precisely that.
The full-length zip completes the reasoning: open it to dump heat without taking the garment off, close it again between rounds.
The artwork
The official Esprit Boxe logo, printed in white on the left chest, in a block about the width of a palm. Plain back.
It is the quietest marking in the house range: readable at a metre / 3 ft, invisible at ten. The garment goes anywhere, the name stays where it belongs.
The garment
Sleeveless, wide bound armholes, full-length zip, drawcord hood, two side pockets. Ribbed hem.

Our advice: this is the shape to pick if you keep the garment on during the warm-up rather than only before it: torso covered, shoulders free. If you want sleeves, see the half zip hoodie.

European cut — take your usual size, with no conversion to apply. Six sizes, S to XXXL (XXXL is the same as 3XL).
When do you actually wear it?
Through the warm-up — rope, shadow, footwork — and on the way out of the gym. The full zip lets you open it to dump heat without taking it off.
Does it have pockets?

How do you wash it?
