Next Level Men's Tank Tops: What to Print and What to Choose Instead
Quick Answer- Next Level makes men's and unisex cotton muscle tanks as part of its broader tank lineup.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops currently prints two Next Level tank styles, both in a women's racerback cut.
- For a men's or unisex tank, the catalog's AS Colour Men's Cut-Off Tank ($24.88 VIP) is the closest fit.
- Women's racerback tanks are frequently worn unisex for gym and training use when a closer fit is fine.
Next Level built a broad tank lineup that includes men's cotton muscle tanks in addition to its women's racerback styles, so the brand shows up in searches from buyers of every gender. Being straight with what is actually printable matters here: Bear Grips Pro Shops currently lists two Next Level tanks, both women's racerback cuts. Here is what that means for a men's or unisex tank order.
Next Level's Men's and Unisex Muscle Tank Lineup
As a brand, Next Level produces men's cotton muscle tanks with wider cut armholes and a boxier body than the women's racerback styles, built for gym and training wear where range of motion in the shoulders matters. These sit alongside the brand's racerback and triblend women's tanks in Next Level's full apparel catalog.
What Bear Grips Pro Shops Actually Prints for Men and Unisex Use
| Product | Brand | VIP base | Fit |
| Mens Cut-Off Tank | AS Colour | $24.88 | Men's cut, wider armhole, gym-style |
| Performance Workout Tank | Bella+Canvas | $19.88 | Unisex-friendly, athletic fit |
| Ladies Racerback Tank | Next Level | $19.88 | Women's racerback, often worn unisex for a closer fit |
For a men's tank specifically, the Bear Grips catalog's AS Colour Mens Cut-Off Tank is the closest match in cut and audience to what Next Level's men's muscle tank line offers.

Wearing the Next Level Racerback Tank Unisex
Plenty of gym-goers and lifters wear the women's racerback tank regardless of gender, since the closer, athletic cut suits training wear. Buyers who want a looser, boxier fit should look at the AS Colour or Bella+Canvas options above instead.
Youth Tank Options
There is no Next Level youth tank in the current Bear Grips catalog. For youth apparel, the Bear Grips Youth Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee runs $19.88 VIP base as a sleeved alternative, or a smaller-sized racerback tank works for teen customers who want the tank silhouette specifically.
Design Tips for Muscle and Cut-Off Tank Styles
- Bold, centered front logo. Wide-cut armholes leave less side fabric than a standard tee, so keep the design centered.
- Avoid designs that run to the very edge of the shoulder. Cut-off armholes trim closer to the neckline than a standard tank.
- Back prints work well. The open cut still leaves a full back panel for a large logo or graphic.
