US Navy Jogging Suits

From LoveToKnow Men's Fashion

If you’re not in the military, but want to support the troops and feel like you are a part of the fighting force, U.S. Navy jogging suits are a great way to show support while you stay in shape. Perhaps you’ll even get to the point where you’re in such good condition, you might just go ahead and join up.

Look of Navy Jogging Suits

The standard Navy jogging suit that is available for civilian purchase, also called a warm-up suit or workout gear, is very basic, as one would expect of military gear. The colors are, appropriately, navy and with gold striping. There is no adornment, just the word “navy” in all caps on the jacket and trousers. What makes them special is the high quality, as well as the opportunity to support service members and help nonprofit groups educate Americans about the duties and importance of the Navy.

Quality of Navy Jogging Suits

Gear meant for service members to stay in shape should be high-quality, heavy duty and easy to care for. Navy warm-up jackets and trousers are made of 100% Taslon nylon and have a micro-mesh lining. The practical jacket zips up the front and has adjustable Velcro cuffs and reflective trim. The trousers are also 100% Taslon nylon and are lined in poly-cotton jersey for softness and warmth, as well as some moisture wicking. They have an elastic drawstring waist, two side pockets and a back pocket designed to hold the average wallet. The gold side striping is reflective and the trouser cuffs are elastic with side zippers for maximum comfort and practicality.

Shopping for U.S. Navy Jogging Suits

Your local Army surplus store may have U.S. Navy jogging suits, but you will probably do better to buy them online. A number of suppliers are dedicated to supporting the Navy, so this way you not only get the jogging suit you want, but you also lend some real backing to the troops.

  • The Navy League of the United States is one such organization. They call themselves “citizens in support of the sea services” and are a non-profit whose mission is to educate citizens about the importance of sea power, its history and its place in a changing world, to provide support and recognition for the reserves and to interest and then train young people through the Naval Sea Cadet Corps. The store carries a huge range of merchandise and gifts, including gear for the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. So you can go shopping and get an entire course in military history at the same time.
  • If you need to do a range of practical shopping, School Uniforms has the same warm-up suits and also a large selection of military camping gear, so you can have full military gear for all your outdoor activities. If you want to dress up your suit further, you can get wallets, hats, sunglasses, key rings and towels for your jogging needs.
  • Although it is considerably less reliable, if you’re looking for a bargain, you might keep an eye on Army Navy Deals, which has some closeouts and might occasionally carry the official jogging suit. However, since they are not that expensive to begin with and last a long time if you take good care of them, you will be better off going with one of the above outlets. You’ll also know that you’re giving back more to the troops, if you want to show that level of support.
