Frequently Asked Questions

Sport-Tek is one of the most requested performance apparel brands for gyms, coaches, and small businesses that need a shirt built for sweat, not just for sitting in a closet. The usual roadblock is the same one that hits every bulk apparel order: a supplier wants two or three dozen units before they will even quote a price. Bear Grips Pro Shops removes that step. This guide covers the full Sport-Tek lineup available in the catalog, what each piece costs, and how to get your logo on one without ordering in bulk.

What Sport-Tek Apparel Is Actually Built For

Sport-Tek is a performance-first apparel line: moisture-wicking polyester and poly-blend fabric built to move sweat away from the body rather than absorb it. That makes it a common pick for gyms, coaching staffs, sales teams that spend a lot of time outdoors, and anyone whose branded apparel needs to survive a workout, not just a photo. It sits alongside heavier cotton brands like Gildan and Bella+Canvas in the Bear Grips catalog as the performance-fabric option.

How Ordering a Custom Sport-Tek Piece Actually Works

Create a Pro Shop. Free to start (3 live products, no card required) or Self-Service VIP at $59/mo (200 products, lowest base prices).
Upload your logo or design as a transparent PNG.
Add the Sport-Tek pieces you want to sell and set the front-side placement.
Set your retail price. Most vendors add $10 or more of profit over the VIP base.
Share the shop link. Every order prints, packs, and ships free to the buyer, no matter the quantity.

The same no-minimum model that works for a Sport-Tek polo works across the rest of the catalog. See no-minimum Sport-Tek ordering for a closer comparison against a traditional wholesale order.

Free vs VIP: Which Plan Makes Sense for a Sport-Tek Shop

Plan	Price	Live products	Sport-Tek polo base
Free	$0/mo	3	$41.93
Self-Service VIP	$59/mo	200	$34.88
Done-For-You VIP	$105/mo	250	$34.88 (shop built and managed for you)

VIP saves $7.05 per polo versus the free plan. Full margin math is in the Sport-Tek polo pricing breakdown.

Is Sport-Tek Good for a Gym or Team Shop?

For anywhere sweat is part of the job, yes. A gym front desk, a coaching staff on the sideline, a sales team doing outdoor site visits, or a fitness studio selling to members all benefit from a moisture-wicking fabric over a plain cotton tee. Sport-Tek is not the right call for office-only staff who want a soft, dressy cotton pique polo; that use case is better served by the Gildan Premium Cotton Pique Polo also in the Bear Grips catalog. Match the fabric to how the shirt actually gets worn.
