Pick the fabric
Moisture-wicking, breathable knits keep you cool and dry under load.
The Activewear Edit
Tops that breathe through the hardest set.
Technical tees, long sleeves and crops built to move, wick and stay put.
A training top should keep up without getting in the way. It breathes when the heat rises and moves freely through every rep.
We pick moisture-wicking knits, considered cuts and lengths that stay down through overhead and bent-over work.

How to choose training tops and tees
Fabric is everything in a workout top. Moisture-wicking blends pull sweat away from the skin and dry quickly, keeping you cool and comfortable through intense sessions, while mesh panels and breathable knits add ventilation where you heat up most. For cooler conditions and outdoor running, a long-sleeve top with light stretch adds warmth without bulk or restricting your arms.
Cut and length change how a top performs. Fitted tops and compression tees sit close for a streamlined feel under layers and during dynamic movement, while relaxed tees and tanks give airflow and an easy, casual look. Singlets and tanks maximise shoulder mobility for lifting and warm-weather training, so you can move freely overhead.
Tees, tanks and long-sleeves: which to wear
Build a rotation that covers every session and season:
- Breathable tees for everyday gym sessions and layering
- Tanks and singlets for lifting, hot days and full shoulder mobility
- Long-sleeve tops for cooler weather, outdoor runs and light coverage
Fit and care
A good training top should let you move without riding up, with flatlock seams that sit flat to reduce chafing on longer sessions. Wash cool, turn inside out to protect prints, skip fabric softener so the fabric keeps wicking, and air dry. Avoiding high heat preserves the stretch, shape and quick-dry finish of technical tops.
Frequently asked questions
What fabric is best for a gym top?
Moisture-wicking blends are best for the gym, pulling sweat off the skin and drying fast to keep you cool and comfortable. Look for breathable knits and mesh panels for ventilation during intense sessions. Lightweight technical fabrics suit high-output training, while softer cotton blends suit lower-intensity and casual athleisure wear.
Should I choose a fitted or relaxed top?
Fitted and compression tops sit close for a streamlined feel under layers and during dynamic movement, while relaxed tees and tanks give airflow and an easy, casual look. Choose fitted for running and intense training, and relaxed for warm-weather sessions, lifting comfort or everyday wear. Check the size guide for each style.
When should I wear a tank or singlet instead of a tee?
Choose a tank or singlet for lifting, hot days and any session where full shoulder mobility matters, as the cut leaves your arms free to move overhead. A tee offers more coverage and layering for everyday gym sessions and cooler conditions. Pick based on temperature, coverage and your training style.
Are your tops moisture-wicking and sweat-friendly?
Many of our training tops use moisture-wicking fabrics that move sweat away from the skin and dry quickly, often with mesh panels for extra ventilation. Wicking performance varies by style, so check the product description for fabric details. Quick-dry technical tops are ideal for high-intensity and sweaty sessions.
What size top should I order?
Check the size guide on each product page, as fit varies by brand and cut. Fitted and compression tops are meant to sit close, while relaxed tees and tanks run looser. If you are between sizes, size down for a streamlined fit or up for a relaxed, airy feel and easier layering.
How do I care for a technical training top?
Wash cool, turn the top inside out to protect prints, and avoid fabric softener, which coats fibres and reduces wicking. Air dry rather than using high heat to protect the stretch and quick-dry finish. Following the care label keeps technical tops breathable, light and performing wash after wash.
