Who This Collection Is For

These tops and vests are for anyone who takes their training seriously. If you're pushing for progress in the gym, pounding the pavement, or tackling high-intensity sessions, you need gear that keeps up. Our range suits lifters who want freedom of movement, runners who need breathability, and athletes who demand durability from their kit.

From fitness enthusiasts building their first proper training wardrobe to experienced athletes replacing worn-out staples, this collection covers the essentials. The pieces work for intense training days and active rest days alike, giving you versatile options that earn their place in your rotation.

When to Wear Tops and Vests

Tank tops and vests excel during high-output sessions where temperature regulation matters. They're ideal for heavy lifting when you need full shoulder mobility, HIIT workouts that get you sweating, and outdoor running when the weather's warm. The unrestricted arm movement helps you nail your form on overhead presses, pull-ups, and any exercise where fabric bunching becomes a distraction.

Training tops with sleeves work brilliantly for early morning gym sessions, outdoor training in cooler conditions, and layering under hoodies when you're warming up. They transition easily from focused workout sessions to casual wear, making them practical choices for anyone who trains before work or fits sessions into a busy schedule.

Key Features

Breathable Fabrics

Moisture-wicking materials keep sweat away from your skin during intense sessions. The lightweight construction allows air to circulate, helping you stay comfortable when the intensity ramps up. These fabrics dry quickly, so you're not left in damp kit after your workout.

Movement-Friendly Cuts

Raglan sleeves and dropped armholes give you unrestricted range of motion for overhead movements and dynamic exercises. The fits are designed to move with you rather than against you, whether you're reaching for a barbell or stretching between sets. No riding up, no restriction, just functional design.

Durable Construction

Reinforced stitching stands up to regular washing and intense training sessions. The fabrics maintain their shape and performance through countless workouts, making these pieces reliable staples rather than disposable basics. Quality construction means your investment lasts.

Versatile Styling

Clean designs and classic colours work in the gym and beyond. Pair vests with your favourite training shorts or joggers, layer tops under zip hoodies, or wear them on their own. The straightforward aesthetic means these pieces integrate seamlessly into any training wardrobe.

FAQs

How do I find the right size in Myprotein tops and vests?

Check the size guide on each product page for specific chest and length measurements. Our tops generally run true to size, with regular fits that work for most body types. If you're between sizes, consider whether you prefer a closer fit for training or a slightly looser cut for comfort.

How should I care for my training tops to make them last?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours and avoid fabric softener, which can affect moisture-wicking properties. Turn garments inside out before washing to protect any prints or details. Air drying extends the life of technical fabrics better than tumble drying.

What's the difference between a tank top and a vest in this collection?

The terms are largely interchangeable in our range, both referring to sleeveless tops. Some styles feature slightly different armhole cuts or necklines, but they all serve the same purpose of keeping you cool and unrestricted during training.

Can I wear these tops for running as well as gym training?

Absolutely. The breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics work brilliantly for running, particularly in warmer weather. The lightweight construction won't weigh you down on long runs, and the unrestricted movement suits the dynamic motion of running as well as it does lifting.

Who designs Myprotein's training apparel?

Myprotein's in-house design team creates all our training gear, drawing on feedback from athletes and fitness enthusiasts to develop functional pieces that perform. The team focuses on combining practical features with durable construction and versatile styling.

What fabrics are used in these tops and vests?

Most pieces use polyester blends chosen for their moisture-wicking properties, durability, and quick-drying performance. Some styles incorporate elastane for added stretch and comfort during dynamic movements. Check individual product pages for specific fabric compositions.

Are these tops suitable for layering under hoodies or jackets?

Yes, the streamlined fits work well as base layers under hoodies, track tops, or lightweight jackets. The smooth fabrics won't bunch up, and the close-to-body cuts layer neatly without adding bulk. This makes them practical choices for warming up before sessions or training in variable conditions.

How do the colours hold up after multiple washes?

The fabrics are designed to maintain their colour through regular washing when you follow the care instructions. Washing at lower temperatures and turning garments inside out helps preserve the vibrancy. Darker colours like black and navy are particularly resilient, whilst lighter shades benefit from washing separately initially.
