When to Wear These Pieces
Tank tops excel during high-intensity sessions where you need maximum airflow and unrestricted movement. They're ideal for summer training, hot yoga sessions, or any workout where overheating becomes an issue. The dropped armholes give your shoulders full range of motion for overhead presses and pull-ups.
Training vests work brilliantly as layering pieces under hoodies for warming up, then strip back when things heat up. They transition easily from the weights room to outdoor runs, making them solid all-rounders for mixed training weeks.
Key Features
Breathable Fabrics
Moisture-wicking materials keep you dry when the intensity ramps up. The fabrics pull sweat away from your skin, so you stay comfortable rather than feeling clammy mid-session.
Unrestricted Movement
Strategically placed seams and stretch materials mean nothing holds you back during dynamic movements. From burpees to bench press, these tops move with you rather than against you.
Durable Construction
Reinforced stitching and quality fabrics stand up to frequent washing and intense training sessions. These aren't pieces you'll replace every few months.
Versatile Styling
Clean, classic designs in core colours work across different training environments. Throw them on for the gym, a run, or casual weekend wear without looking out of place.

FAQs
How do Myprotein tops and vests fit?
These pieces follow standard UK sizing with a regular athletic fit. They're cut to sit comfortably without excess fabric bunching up during movement. If you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, sizing up works well. The tank tops offer a slightly more relaxed cut than traditional fitted gym vests.
What materials are used in these training tops?
Most pieces use polyester-blend fabrics chosen for breathability and durability. These materials wick moisture effectively, dry quickly, and maintain their shape through repeated washing. The fabrics have enough stretch to move with you whilst providing structure that doesn't sag or lose form.
How should I care for my training vests?
Machine wash at 30 degrees with similar colours to keep them looking fresh. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce the moisture-wicking properties. Air drying works best, but tumble drying on low heat won't damage them if you're pressed for time.
Can I wear these vests for outdoor running?
Absolutely. The breathable fabrics and lightweight construction make them ideal for running in warmer weather. The moisture-wicking properties become particularly useful during longer runs when sweat management matters. They layer easily under jackets for cooler morning starts.
What's the difference between the regular and drop armhole tank tops?
Drop armhole versions have deeper, wider armholes that extend further down the torso. This gives more shoulder mobility and increased airflow, making them popular for CrossFit-style workouts and bodybuilding training. Regular tanks offer more coverage whilst still providing good movement range.
Who designs Myprotein training wear?
These pieces come from Myprotein's in-house design team, who create activewear specifically for serious training. They focus on functional details that matter during actual workouts rather than just following fashion trends.
Will these tops work for gym and casual wear?
The clean designs and neutral colours mean they transition easily from training to casual situations. Throw one on with joggers or shorts for weekend errands, or layer under an open shirt for a relaxed look. They're versatile enough to work beyond just gym sessions.
How durable are these vests with frequent washing?
The fabrics and construction hold up well to regular use and washing. Colours stay true without significant fading, and the stitching maintains integrity through heavy training cycles. Following the care instructions keeps them performing properly for the long haul.
