FAQs
How do men's training tops fit compared to regular t-shirts?
Training tops typically fit closer to the body than casual tees, designed to move with you during exercise without excess fabric getting in the way. Compression styles fit snugly against the skin, while regular training tees offer a closer cut than everyday wear but still allow comfortable movement. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up, especially in compression pieces.
What's the difference between compression tops and regular training shirts?
Compression tops use stretchy, close-fitting fabric that sits tight against your skin, providing a secure, locked-in feel during training. Regular training shirts offer a more relaxed fit with moisture-wicking properties but without the compression element. Choose compression for high-intensity workouts where you want that supported feel, or regular tees for versatility and comfort across different activities.
How should I care for my training tops?
Wash your training tops in cold water with similar colours to maintain fabric integrity and prevent fading. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce the moisture-wicking properties of technical fabrics. Air drying works best for extending the life of the material, but if you use a dryer, keep it on low heat to prevent damage to the performance fibres.
What materials are used in Myprotein training tops?
Most pieces in this collection use polyester or polyester-blend fabrics chosen for their moisture-wicking capabilities and durability. Some styles incorporate elastane for stretch and compression properties. These technical materials dry quickly, resist odours better than cotton, and maintain their shape through repeated washing and training sessions.
Can I wear these tops for activities other than gym training?
Absolutely. These tops work brilliantly for running, cycling, team sports, hiking, or any active pursuit. The moisture-wicking fabrics and comfortable fits make them versatile enough for different activities. Many people also wear them for casual days or relaxing at home, as the breathable materials feel comfortable in any setting.
Who designed these training tops?
Myprotein's in-house design team created this entire collection, combining athlete feedback with technical fabric knowledge to develop pieces that perform under pressure. The team focuses on practical features that matter during real training sessions, from fabric choice to fit and durability.
Will compression tops feel too tight?
Compression tops are designed to fit snugly, but they shouldn't feel restrictive or uncomfortable. The stretchy fabric should feel secure against your skin while still allowing full range of motion. If you're new to compression wear, you might notice the close fit initially, but most people find it becomes comfortable quickly and appreciate the supported feel during training.
How do vests and tank tops compare to short sleeve options?
Vests and tank tops offer maximum breathability with their sleeveless design, making them ideal for intense cardio sessions, hot weather training, or workouts where arm mobility is crucial. Short sleeve options provide slightly more coverage and work better for cooler conditions or when you want a more traditional gym look. Both styles use the same moisture-wicking fabrics, so choose based on your temperature preferences and activity type.
