Frequently Asked Questions

What are warm up pants, and do you offer matching ones for this jacket?  
Warm up pants are athletic-style bottoms designed to retain body heat before and after physical activity, helping to prevent muscle stiffness or injury. While this listing features our Girls' and Women's Cadet Warm-Up Jacket, many customers pair it with our stretchy joggers, biker shorts, or full-length performance leggings to create a coordinated warm ups clothing set. Although we don’t currently sell matching warm up pants in the exact same fabric, the jacket’s classic cut and versatile color make it easy to coordinate with existing practice wear.

Can this jacket be used as part of ballet warm ups or general dance warm ups?  
Yes. This jacket is widely used for ballet warm ups and other dance warm ups due to its form-fitting yet flexible design. The 2-inch mock neck provides light coverage without restricting movement, and the medium-weight fabric offers just enough warmth for cool studios or outdoor transitions without causing overheating during light activity. Dancers appreciate that it stays in place during stretches and routines while maintaining a sleek silhouette.

Is this jacket suitable as a team jacket for dance, cheer, or sports squads?  
Absolutely. The clean lines, durable fabric, and smooth surface make this an excellent choice for team jackets across disciplines, including dance, cheer, gymnastics, and volleyball. Its consistent fit and high-quality construction ensure a professional look for group settings, whether at practice, competitions, or performances.

Can I use this jacket for custom team jackets?  
Yes. This style is specifically designed with customization in mind. The smooth polyester-spandex blend readily accepts rhinestones, screen printing, heat-transfer vinyl, and embroidered logos. Many coaches and team managers purchase these in bulk to create custom team jackets featuring team names, numbers, or school colors, resulting in a unified and polished appearance.

What’s the difference between warm up clothing and regular athletic wear?  
Warm up clothing is intended to keep the body warm before and after intense physical exertion, supporting muscle readiness and recovery. It is typically slightly heavier or more insulating than performance wear, which focuses on moisture management during activity. Our jacket falls into the warm up clothing category due to its medium weight and snug fit, though its softness and stretch also make it comfortable for casual, everyday layering.

Do you offer this jacket in both kids’ and adult sizes?  
Yes. We carry this style in kids’ sizes from XX-Small (2) through X-Large, and adult sizes from Small to 4X (24-26). This extensive range allows entire teams, families, or parent-child pairs to wear matching outfits, making it a practical and popular choice for group purchases.

How should I care for my warm up jacket?  
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach and high heat, which can degrade the spandex and dull the fabric over time. Customers consistently report that the jacket resists pilling, shrinking, and fading, maintaining its soft, silky feel through repeated washes.

Can this jacket be worn outside of athletic or performance settings?  
Definitely. Many customers wear it as a stylish, comfortable layer for school, travel, errands, or lounging at home. The tailored fit and mock neck give it a modern, athletic aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from studio to street.

Why choose this over other warm up clothing options?  
Because it combines performance, durability, and aesthetics in one versatile piece. The 90% polyester / 10% spandex blend offers excellent stretch and recovery, moves with the body, and holds up well under frequent use, qualities essential for both serious performers and everyday wearers.

In summary, whether you’re outfitting a squad with dance team jackets, building a set of dance warm ups, or simply seeking reliable warm up clothing for cooler days, this Cadet Warm-Up Jacket delivers comfort, customization potential, and lasting quality that performs as beautifully as it looks.
