A gym or studio shop selling to women almost always needs more than one bottom option, since a client doing hot yoga wants a different cut than one doing a cold-weather outdoor bootcamp. Bear Grips covers that range with three legging cuts, a biker short, and a padded sports bra, all built to the same house-brand standard. Here is how the pieces differ and which one to stock first.

The Three Bear Grips Legging Cuts Compared

CutBest forVIP base
Signature Seamless LeggingsStudio classes, gym floor, the most-requested cut$54.88
Women's High-Waist Pocket LeggingsEveryday wear, running errands, holds a phone$54.88
Women's High-Waist Capri LeggingsWarmer climates, shorter studio sessions$54.88

All three share the same $54.88 VIP base price, so a shop can stock all three without a pricing tradeoff and let the customer choose length and features instead.

Biker Shorts as the Warm-Weather Alternative

The Women's Signature Biker Shorts sit at $47.88 VIP, below all three legging cuts, and cover the mid-thigh length that many studio clients prefer for hot classes or summer wear. A shop that only stocks leggings misses this customer; adding the biker short as a second bottom option is a common second SKU for shops that started with just the seamless legging. The full category breakdown across the whole line is in the complete Bear Grips blanks lineup.

The Padded Sports Bra and What It Pairs With

The Padded Sports Bra runs $45.88 VIP and is designed to pair with any of the three legging cuts or the biker shorts as a matching or contrasting set. Shops selling to a studio or gym-floor customer commonly bundle the sports bra with one legging cut as a two-piece set at checkout, since the two pieces are bought together more often than either is bought alone.

Which Combination to Stock First

  1. Studio-focused shop. Seamless leggings plus the padded sports bra covers the two most-requested pieces for yoga, barre, or Pilates clients.
  2. General gym shop. High-waist pocket leggings plus biker shorts covers both a full-length and a warm-weather option.
  3. Warm-climate or summer-focused shop. Capri leggings plus biker shorts plus the sports bra covers the full warm-weather range.

A vendor on the Free plan's 3-product cap should pick one combination rather than trying to list all five pieces at once; Self-Service VIP's 200-product ceiling has room for the full set. Margin details for each piece are in Bear Grips brand profit margins.

A Sizing Note for Activewear Bottoms

Activewear bottoms run closer-fitting than tees and hoodies, and size charts vary slightly by cut even within the same brand. Each product page in the shop lists its own size chart; pointing customers to it before checkout cuts down on size-exchange requests, which matter more on leggings and sports bras than on looser pieces like tees or hoodies.
