Key Features
Moisture-Wicking Fabrics
Technical materials pull sweat away from skin, keeping you drier during intense sessions. The quick-drying properties mean less post-workout discomfort and faster turnaround between wears.
Flattering Fits
From body-skimming crops to relaxed racer-backs, each silhouette offers a different approach to coverage and style. Thoughtful seam placement and strategic panelling create shapes that look good while serving practical purposes.
Durable Construction
Reinforced stitching at stress points stands up to repeated wear and washing. These vests maintain their shape and colour through regular gym bag cycles, making them reliable choices for frequent training schedules.
Movement-Ready Designs
Four-way stretch fabrics and ergonomic cuts allow full range of motion without riding up or restricting movement. Whether you're reaching overhead, bending low, or twisting through rotational exercises, the fit stays consistent.

FAQs
How do these vests fit compared to regular sizing?
Most styles run true to size with slightly fitted cuts designed for training. If you prefer a looser fit for layering or maximum airflow, consider sizing up. The product pages include specific fit notes for each style, and our size guide shows detailed measurements to help you choose confidently.
Can I tumble dry these vests?
Air drying extends the life of technical fabrics and helps maintain elasticity. If you need to use a dryer, choose a low heat setting. The quick-drying materials mean most vests air dry within a few hours anyway, making tumble drying unnecessary for most people.
What's the difference between crop vests and regular-length tanks?
Crop vests typically end just above the natural waistline, making them ideal for pairing with high-waisted leggings and shorts. Regular-length tanks provide more torso coverage and work well with mid-rise or low-rise bottoms. Both offer the same performance features - the choice comes down to personal style preference.
Are these vests suitable for outdoor running?
Absolutely. The moisture-wicking fabrics and breathable construction make them excellent choices for outdoor cardio in warm conditions. Many runners layer them under lightweight jackets for cooler starts, then strip down as body temperature rises. The quick-drying properties also help during unpredictable weather.
Who designs the Myprotein vests?
Myprotein's in-house design team creates all pieces in this collection. They combine feedback from athletes and regular gym-goers with technical fabric knowledge to develop styles that balance performance and wearability. Each design goes through testing phases before reaching the final collection.
How do I prevent these vests from losing their shape?
Wash in cold water and avoid fabric softener, which can break down technical fibres over time. Turn vests inside out before washing to protect any printed details. Skip the dryer when possible, and store folded rather than hung to maintain shoulder seam integrity.
Can these vests handle high-impact activities?
The vests themselves move well during jumping and dynamic exercises, though you'll still need appropriate sports bra support underneath. The secure fits and strategic construction mean the vests stay in place during box jumps, burpees, and other explosive movements without riding up or shifting around.
What materials are used in these vests?
Most styles feature polyester and elastane blends that offer four-way stretch and moisture management. Some designs incorporate mesh panels for added ventilation. The specific fabric composition varies by style and is listed on each product page, along with care instructions tailored to that material.
