Iron Strong Heart Lightweight Graphic Hoodie - 100% US Cotton Relaxed Fit

Our Graphic Hoodie has a relaxed fit that's comfortable over trisuits or race kits. Use our size chart measuring chest and length, and we recommend ordering true-to-size for layering or one size up for maximal comfort during transitions. Our 30-day fit guarantee lets you exchange if it doesn't fit perfectly for your race day.

Absolutely, this hoodie is perfect for beginners! It's a budget-friendly, non-technical option that provides warmth and comfort during pre-race warm-ups, transitions, and post-race recovery without overwhelming performance features. Many new triathletes love it as their first dedicated race-day layer.

Machine wash in cold water and hang dry or tumble on low heat—avoid high heat which can cause shrinkage. Use a gentle detergent and skip bleach to preserve the soft cotton feel. With regular care, this durable hoodie can last through multiple seasons of training and racing.

For sprint or Olympic distances, wear it post-swim in T1 to stay warm without overheating, then remove before biking or running. In longer races like half or full Ironmans, use it for transitions, aid stations, and immediate post-race recovery. It's not designed for active racing but serves great as an outer layer during breaks or cool-downs.

We ship within 1-2 business days for in-stock items, with standard delivery in 5-7 days. Express shipping is available if you need it for race weekend. Our 30-day satisfaction guarantee covers untagged returns, and for apparel, we offer a fit guarantee with up to one exchange at no extra cost.
