Custom Training Tops & T-Shirts: A Complete Guide for Your Brand

Published: 2025-08-05

Training tops and t-shirts are the foundation of almost every activewear collection. They're worn for running, gym, yoga and everyday athleisure — and they're one of the most customizable products in sportswear. Here's what to know when building a custom top collection.

Popular Training Top Styles

• Short Sleeve Training Tees — the everyday workhorse for gym and running.
• Sleeveless & Tank Tops — for warm-weather training and maximum airflow.
• Long Sleeve Training Tops — for cooler conditions or sun protection.
• Half-Zip Tops — a modern, sporty style with adjustable ventilation.
• Crop Tops & Women's Fitted Tees — flattering cuts for women's activewear.

Key Features to Look For

• Quick-Dry & Moisture-Wicking — draws sweat away and dries fast.
• Breathable Fabric — lightweight, airflow-friendly construction.
• Four-Way Stretch — moves with the body during activity.
• UPF Sun Protection — a bonus for outdoor training tops.
• Cooling Hand Feel — technical knits that feel cool against the skin.

Customization Options

Training tops are one of the easiest products to brand. Common options include custom Pantone colors, screen printing, heat transfer, embroidery, silicone branding, contrast piping, woven labels, hangtags and retail-ready packaging.
