Key Features
Performance Fabrics
Engineered materials provide the stretch and recovery needed for demanding movements. Moisture-wicking properties help manage sweat during intense sessions, whilst maintaining shape wear after wear. These aren't basic cotton vests – they're purpose-built training pieces.
Versatile Design Options
Choose from classic racerback styles for unrestricted shoulder movement, halter-neck designs for secure coverage, or zip-through options for adjustable ventilation. Each silhouette serves different training needs and preferences, giving you options for varied workouts.
Seamless Construction Available
Selected styles feature seamless knitting technology that eliminates irritation points during high-movement activities. This construction method creates smooth lines under outer layers whilst reducing friction zones that can cause discomfort during extended sessions.
Durable Build Quality
Reinforced stitching at stress points ensures these vests withstand repeated washing and intensive use. Colourfast dyes maintain vibrancy through countless training cycles, whilst fabrics resist pilling and maintain their structure even with regular wear.

FAQs
How do these vests fit compared to regular sizing?
These pieces follow standard UK sizing and are designed with athletic cuts that suit active bodies. The stretchy fabrics provide some give, but if you prefer a looser fit for layering or extra coverage, consider sizing up. Check the product pages for specific measurements to compare against your favourite training pieces.
Can I put these vests in the washing machine?
Absolutely. Machine wash at 30 degrees with similar colours to maintain fabric integrity and colour vibrancy. Avoid fabric softeners as they can affect moisture-wicking properties. Air drying is recommended to preserve elasticity and prevent shrinkage, though tumble drying on low heat works for most styles.
What materials are used in these vests?
The collection features performance polyester blends, with some styles incorporating elastane for enhanced stretch. Seamless options use specialised knitting techniques with nylon-polyester combinations. These synthetic fabrics are chosen specifically for their moisture management, durability, and shape retention during athletic activities.
Are these suitable for high-impact training?
These vests provide coverage and comfort for various training intensities, though they're designed as outer layers rather than support garments. For high-impact activities like running or plyometrics, wear them over a supportive sports bra. The close fit and moisture-wicking properties make them excellent choices for intense sessions when paired with appropriate undergarments.
Who designs these training pieces?
All items in this collection are created by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on developing functional athletic wear that meets the needs of active lifestyles. The designs combine practical features with contemporary styling, informed by feedback from the training community.
How do I style these vests outside the gym?
These versatile pieces transition easily from training to casual wear. Layer them under denim jackets or oversized shirts for relaxed looks, or pair with high-waisted jeans and trainers for everyday comfort. The streamlined silhouettes and quality fabrics make them suitable for running errands, meeting friends, or any active day off the training floor.
Will the colours fade after repeated washing?
The fabrics use colourfast dyes designed to resist fading through regular wash cycles. Washing at lower temperatures and avoiding harsh detergents helps maintain vibrancy. Darker colours like black naturally show less wear over time, whilst lighter shades benefit from washing separately during the first few cycles.
What's the difference between seamless and regular construction?
Seamless vests are knitted in one continuous piece, eliminating side seams that can cause irritation during movement. This construction creates smooth lines under clothing and reduces friction points. Regular construction uses traditional cut-and-sew methods with visible seams, which some prefer for structure and fit. Both styles offer durability – it's down to personal comfort preference.
