Crew and rowing tank tops cover summer training, hot regatta days, and the in-boat workout layer. Rowers wear tanks under unisuits at races, on long aerobic pieces in July, and on warm-weather erg sessions. Bear Grips Pro Shops carries performance polyester and cotton tank options for teams of every size, with no minimum order.

Performance vs Cotton Tank for Rowing
Two fabric directions for rowing tanks:
- Performance polyester (Bella+Canvas Performance Workout Tank). Best for in-boat training, erg sessions, summer regattas. Wicks moisture, dries fast.
- Cotton blend (Next Level, Bella+Canvas Women's tanks). Best for casual boathouse wear, warm-up tanks, post-practice tank. Softer, less performance-focused.
Most boathouses stock both. Performance tanks for the workout, cotton tanks for the casual hours around the boathouse.

Tank Design for Rowing Teams
- Team logo on the chest, small. 2.5 to 3 inches on the left chest or center.
- Optional back graphic. Boat-and-oars or team name across the upper back.
- Heritage two-tone tank. Some clubs use a two-tone tank with school colors split front-to-back.
- Limited regatta drops. Bold front graphic for one-off regatta tanks. Members collect them across seasons.
When Tanks Outsell Tees in Rowing Stores
In most months, tees outsell tanks 3:1 in rowing team stores. From May through August, the ratio flips: tanks become the volume seller because:
- Summer practices run in 80+ degree weather.
- Tank tops layer cleanly under unisuits at races.
- Erg sessions in unconditioned boathouses are brutal in cotton tees.
- Summer regatta merch lines lean tank-heavy.
Stock 3 to 5 tank styles before the spring season opens. The team store catches the summer demand wave automatically.
