Why Wear Long Sleeved Gymnastics Leotards?

Posted on - 18th January 2021

When it comes to gymnastic leotards, there are so many options. There are sleeveless, long-sleeved and gym training leotards, to name just a few. With so many options, it’s hard to know which leotard is right for you. One of the most commonly asked questions we get here at Olympique is what the benefits of each type of leotard are. 

Luckily, we have garnered many years of experience and we thoroughly understand the different advantages and disadvantages of each leotard type. As such, we can help you understand this question a little better. To get started, we’re going to discuss the benefits of a long-sleeved gymnastics leotard – so without further ado, let’s get a better idea of what a long-sleeved leotard can bring to your gymnastics routine.

Benefits of Long Sleeved Gymnastics Leotards

Keep Warm in the Winter

Winter is very much on horizon. Every day it gets a little bit colder and it gets darker a little bit earlier. The skies are grey, and we’re all looking towards our jackets and coats and wondering ‘is today the day?’ 

It’s vital during these months that people stay warm and comfortable to avoid illness. Long-sleeved leotards can help to do just that, as they provide extra material to cover up your arms and keep you insulated. 

Here at Olympique, we understand how important being comfortable can be whilst training or travelling. That’s why we’ve designed a wide range of long-sleeved leotards to keep all of our customers safe.

Stand Out From the Crowd

If you’re looking for a leotard that can help you to fully express yourself creatively, a long-sleeved leotard offers more options. After all, there is more material to work with. Leaving more space open for swirls and sparkle, you may find that a long-sleeved gymnastics leotard fits the aesthetic of your piece, personality or squad better than other options.

Compete Confidently

Although some competitions have become more relaxed, long-sleeved leotards have traditionally been looked upon as standard competition wear. Due to this reputation, they are still seen as a more formal option, which is always guaranteed to make a good impression. Having a long-sleeved leotard available to train in can also help make the transition into competitions less daunting.

Long Sleeved Leotards Can Enhance Your Routine

It’s believed by some people that when performing in a long-sleeved gymnastics leotard, the gymnast’s arms appear to be longer. As such, if the routine requires a lot of focus on the arms, this type of gymnastics leotard could be the perfect choice for you. It may even lead to a higher score from the judges.
