Bear Grips Pro ShopsThe Best Bear Grips Products for Women Over 50: A Product Lineup Guide
- Not every product in a 63-item catalog belongs in a line built for women over 50; a focused 8 to 10 piece lineup covers what this member actually wears.
- Layering pieces (quarter-zips, crewnecks) outsell single-layer tanks for this demographic in most studios.
- A longer-inseam legging and a supportive sports bra round out the bottoms and base layers.
- Hats and totes round out the retail counter without adding apparel-sizing complexity.
With 63 products in the Bear Grips catalog, the temptation is to list everything and let members sort it out. That works poorly for a member base over 50, who respond better to a curated, well-fit lineup than an overwhelming menu. Here is the product-by-product lineup I recommend, built from what actually sells at my own studios.
Core Tops: Tees and Tanks
| Product | Brand | VIP base | Fit note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's Favorite Tee | Bella+Canvas | $19.88 | Relaxed, everyday cotton, the safest default first piece |
| Ladies' Moisture Wicking Tee | Sport-Tek | $25.88 | Best for hot classes, handles sweat and temperature swings |
| Ladies Racerback Tank | Next Level | $19.88 | Offer alongside a higher-coverage option, not as the only tank choice |
Layers: Quarter-Zips, Crewnecks, and Hoodies
| Product | Brand | VIP base | Fit note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's Quarter-Zip Pullover | Sport-Tek | $29.88 | The single best-selling piece in this demographic across most studios |
| Perfect Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt | Bear Grips | $34.88 | Everyday errand-and-class piece, wears well outside the studio |
| Comfort Soft Hoodie | Bear Grips | $36.88 | Mid-weight, works for pre- and post-class layering |
| Women's Premium Cropped Hoodie | Bella+Canvas | $47.88 | Offer as a second style, not a replacement for the full-length hoodie |
Bottoms and Base Layers
| Product | Brand | VIP base | Fit note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's High-Waist Pocket Leggings | Bear Grips | $54.88 | High-waist band is consistently the preferred fit |
| Women's High-Waist Capri Leggings | Bear Grips | $54.88 | Good for members who prefer a shorter inseam |
| Women's Wave Wash Sweatpants | Independent Trading Co. | $39.88 | Casual, relaxed fit for pre- and post-class wear |
| Padded Sports Bra | Bear Grips | $45.88 | Built-in support without a separate liner requirement |
Retail Add-Ons: Hats and Accessories
Round out the counter without adding sizing complexity. A well-designed logo embroidered on a Classic Rope Hat or Adjustable Cotton Lifestyle Hat ($25.86 to $29.86 VIP base) sells to members who already own the apparel and want a second branded piece.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
How many products should a first-time shop launch list?
Start with 6 to 8 pieces. The free plan caps at 3, so free-tier shops should pick the top 3 from this lineup, typically a tee, a quarter-zip, and a hoodie.
Do leggings run true to size for this demographic?
The high-waist band is the most requested feature. Check the size chart on the product page before setting your default recommended size for members.
Should I offer both a hoodie and a quarter-zip?
Yes if your plan allows it. They serve different moments: the quarter-zip for pre-class layering, the hoodie for colder weather and everyday wear.
Are these products available in extended sizes?
Yes, the catalog runs a full size range on nearly every women's piece listed here, generally XS through 3XL depending on the specific product.
