Bear Grips Pro ShopsTank Top and Shorts Combo for Mens Training: Building a Two-Piece Starter Kit
- A tank top and shorts pair covers the two hottest-weather, most-worn training pieces for men.
- Bundling the two as a starter kit gives new shop visitors an easy first purchase decision instead of an empty catalog to browse.
- A cotton tank at $19.88 to $25.88 VIP base paired with a mesh short at $26.88 keeps the combo affordable at retail.
- A matched color and logo placement across both pieces reads as a coordinated kit rather than two random items.
Why the Tank and Shorts Pair Works as a Bundle
Both pieces solve the same hot-weather training problem, both are typically bought and worn together, and both sit at a lower individual price point than a hoodie or polo, which makes the combined price still approachable. A new visitor who does not know where to start in a full catalog has an obvious, low-friction first purchase when the shop leads with a kit instead of a product grid.
Building the Kit
| Piece | Brand | VIP base |
|---|---|---|
| Performance workout tank | Bella+Canvas | $19.88 |
| Ladies racerback tank (womens version, if the shop sells both) | Next Level | $19.88 |
| Athletic 7 inch mesh shorts | Sport-Tek | $26.88 |
A cotton or performance tank plus the mesh short is the lightest, cheapest, hottest-weather combo in the catalog, at a combined VIP base under $47.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Pricing the Combo
Price each piece individually at your standard margin, then list a combined price with a small discount (2 to 4 dollars off the sum of the two) to reward the buyer for taking both. On a $32 tank and a $35 short, a combo price of $62 (versus $67 bought separately) still clears healthy margin on both items while giving the buyer a reason to add the second piece to their cart.
Design Consistency Across the Kit
- Match the logo placement. Left chest on the tank, side leg on the shorts, same color ink on both.
- Keep the color palette to two colors max. A coordinated combo photographs and reads better than two mismatched pieces.
- Consider a single design element that spans both (for example, a wordmark that reads across the tank front and repeats small on the short waistband).

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need to build a literal bundle listing, or can I just suggest the pairing?
Either works. Some shops list a combined product page, others simply feature the tank and shorts next to each other on the shop homepage with a suggested pairing note.
Whats the combined VIP base cost for the cheapest tank and shorts pair?
A cotton or performance tank at $19.88 plus the mesh 7 inch short at $26.88 comes to $46.76 VIP base for the pair.
Should the combo discount cut into my margin?
Keep the discount small, 2 to 4 dollars off the combined retail price. The goal is to nudge a second-item add, not to give away the margin on either piece.
Can I swap the tank for a tee in the same combo?
Yes. The same bundling logic works with a moisture-wicking tee instead of a tank for buyers or climates that prefer more coverage.
