Shop Vests at Myprotein
Tank tops and vests are the backbone of any training wardrobe — and this collection covers everything from strappy racerbacks to seamless halter necks. Whether you're lifting, running, or taking on a high-intensity session, there's a vest built for the job.
The range spans men's and women's styles across a wide spread of colourways, so finding something that fits your training and your taste is straightforward. Sweat-wicking fabrics, quick-dry finishes, and thoughtful construction mean these aren't just gym vests — they're gear you'll reach for every session.
Who This Collection Is For
These vests are made for people who train hard and want their kit to keep up. If you're spending serious time in the gym, on the track, or in a studio class, you need a vest that handles heat, movement, and sweat without getting in the way — that's exactly what this range delivers.
It's also a solid pick for anyone who wants versatility beyond the gym. The cleaner silhouettes work just as well for a run or a rest day, and the range of styles means there's something for every preference — from a streamlined tank top to a more open-back design with adjustable straps.
When to Wear Vests
Gym vests come into their own during high-output sessions where breathability matters most. Weight training, HIIT, circuits, boxing — any workout that builds heat fast is where a well-made training vest earns its place. The cut and fabric work together to let you move freely without restriction.
Outside the gym, workout vests slot easily into warm-weather runs, yoga sessions, or even a casual day off. With enough variety in this collection — twist backs, high necks, seamless halters, zip-throughs — you've got options for whatever the day calls for.
Key Features
Sweat-Wicking Fabric
Purpose-built fabrics pull moisture away from your skin during intense sessions, keeping you feeling dry and comfortable when the effort ramps up. Quick-drying properties mean you're not carrying extra weight from sweat mid-workout.
Flexible, Unrestricted Fit
Stretchy, lightweight construction moves with your body rather than against it. Whether you're pressing overhead or moving through dynamic bodyweight work, the fabric stays in place and doesn't pull.
Variety of Styles and Back Designs
From strappy racerbacks and twist backs to seamless halter necks and high necks, there's genuine variety here. Adjustable straps on select styles let you dial in the fit, while different necklines give you options depending on the session — or the look.
Soft-Touch Finish
Several styles use soft-touch fabrics that sit comfortably against the skin during extended wear. Less irritation during movement means better focus on the session itself.

FAQs
What are tank tops and gym vests made from?
Most vests in this range are made from lightweight, stretchy fabrics designed to handle the demands of training. Expect quick-dry, sweat-wicking materials across the collection — with softer, seamless constructions featured in styles like the Tempo Seamless Halter Neck. Specific fabric composition is listed on each individual product page.
Are these gym vests true to size?
Generally yes — the fits are designed to be athletic without being overly fitted. If you're between sizes or prefer a looser feel during training, sizing up is a straightforward option. Each product page includes a detailed size guide to help you find the right fit before you buy.
What workouts are these training vests suitable for?
The collection is built with gym training in mind — weightlifting, HIIT, circuits, and cardio all suit these styles well. The breathable fabrics and open designs make them a natural fit for high-intensity sessions, while the cleaner cuts work for yoga, running, and studio classes too.
Which women's vest do you recommend for gym sessions?
The MP Women's Tempo Strappy Racerback Vest is a strong go-to — sweat-wicking technology keeps you dry during harder efforts, and the quick-drying fabric means you're not stopping to think about kit mid-session. If you want something with a bit more adjustability and a softer feel against the skin, the MP Women's Tempo Twist Back Vest is worth a look, with soft-touch fabric and adjustable straps for a customised fit.
Who designs the vests?
All styles are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. Every piece is developed with active training in mind — from fabric selection through to cut and construction.
How should I care for my gym vest?
For best results, machine wash on a cool cycle and avoid tumble drying where possible — heat can break down performance fabrics over time. Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect any printed details. Full care instructions are printed on the label of each vest.
Do you stock men's gym vests as well as women's?
Yes — the collection includes men's styles alongside the women's range. Men's options include tank tops and drop armhole styles, covering both a close athletic fit and a more relaxed silhouette depending on your preference.
Can I wear these vests outside of the gym?
Absolutely. The cleaner designs in the collection — particularly the high neck and seamless halter styles — sit comfortably beyond a training context. Worn with shorts, joggers, or layered under a hoodie, they're versatile enough for rest days and casual wear.
