Tank tops and muscle shirts for climbers

Sleeveless shirts offer the best freedom of movement and excellent ventilation when climbing and bouldering. At the same time, they protect the upper body from intense sunlight, cool draughts and minor injuries from sharp rocks, thorns or branches. When climbing, muscle shirts combine the breezy world of bare-chested climbing with the comfort of climbing shirts and T-shirts.

Tank tops for climbers and outdoor athletes are often cut close to the body and made of different functional materials. Besides cotton and organic cotton, merino wool, polyester, nylon and stretchable elastane fibres are often used.

Merino tank tops and elasticated climbing shirts

Tank tops made from merino wool or merino-blend fabrics are soft, comfortable and odour-inhibiting. They also have temperature-regulating properties, so they cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold. This makes merino tank tops perfect for climbing.

Tops made from synthetic fibres or natural fibres, such as organic cotton, are sometimes cut close to the body and resemble classic vests in design. However, they offer enhanced freedom of movement due to their elastic fibres. Synthetic fibres quickly wick moisture away from the body and dry quickly.

Sleeveless shirts for summer temperatures

With casual cuts and airy materials, some tank tops are cut like athletic jerseys. Thanks to the wide crew neck or V-neck and low-cut side sections, they are also perfect for everyday and leisure wear on hot summer days.

The muscles on your upper arms are shown to full advantage in the muscle shirt and your whole arm can be nicely tanned. Tank tops by Craft, La Sportiva and Maloja, for example, are real eye-catchers and tastefully set the scene for sporty outdoor athletes in summer.
