Cold plunge and sauna studio hoodies are the highest-margin item in any studio apparel store. Members reach for a hoodie immediately after every cold session. Bear Grips Pro Shops carries premium fleece pullovers, zip-ups, and crewneck sweatshirts that hold a studio logo crisply and become the recovery-uniform layer for members who train at the studio multiple times a week.
Why Hoodies Outsell Tees in Cold Plunge Studios
The cold plunge experience ends the same way every time: member steps out of 38-degree water, towels off, immediately wants to warm up. The hoodie is the answer. Cold plunge studio members buy hoodies for the studio in higher proportion than members of any other fitness vertical.
Volume-wise, tees still outsell hoodies 2:1 in unit count. But revenue-wise, hoodies often outpace tees because of the higher margin per item ($18 to $30 per hoodie vs $8 to $14 per tee). A studio that doesn't carry hoodies leaves 40% of its apparel revenue on the table.

Crewneck sweatshirts. 15 to 20%. The lower-price entry. Members who prefer the no-hood look or want a second sweatshirt at a more accessible price.
Hoodie Design for Wellness-Brand Studios
- Chest logo only. Studio monogram or name in single-color print, 4 to 5 inches wide on the left chest.
- Chest logo plus across-the-back motto. "Cold Therapy Club" or "Sweat. Plunge. Repeat." in small text across the back upper shoulder.
- Sleeve hits. Studio location ("Brooklyn," "Austin," "Venice") on the right sleeve at 2 inches.
- Limited drops with graphic emblems. An ice-cube, steam-cloud, contrast-therapy graphic for member challenge drops.
Members will not wear a heavily designed hoodie outside the studio. Keep the design subtle for the core lineup; reserve bigger graphics for limited member drops.
