Tank tops and sleeveless shirts for comfort in the heat

When the temperature starts to climb or you’re just looking to work up a sweat, a tank top or sleeveless shirt will help keep you cool. They offer great mobility for climbing, paddling or any other activity that involves a lot of arm movement. Worn alone or as a layer under your favourite button up, take your pick of casual or performance options when you’re suiting up for whatever the day has in store.

Among your options for tank tops and sleeveless shirts are the fit, cut and material that suits you best. A looser fit allows easier movement and is great for a comfy feel, while a tighter one might lean more towards performance when you want to focus on your training. The cut will also offer similar options – are you looking for more coverage with wider straps and a long torso, or something lighter that keeps you extra cool? And materials vary from wool and cotton to a variety of synthetic options, each with their own benefits, so check out the range to get an idea of what you’re looking for.

If you’ll be spending time in the sun with your tank top, remember to take extra measures to protect yourself. Some fabrics include UPF ratings to protect your skin, but make sure you pick up some sunscreen and a sun hat to keep yourself safe in the heat. And hey, a stylish pair of sunglasses will keep your eyes safe from the sun and finish off your outfit.
