Sport-Tek Quarter-Zip Pullovers: A Complete Guide for Pro Shop Owners

A Sport-Tek quarter-zip pullover is one of the most requested pieces for gyms, coaching staff, sales teams, and any small business that wants something warmer than a polo but less bulky than a full hoodie. The question most shop owners actually have is not whether Sport-Tek makes a good pullover. It is how to get their own logo on one without a bulk order sitting in a closet. This guide covers what the pullover is, what it costs through Bear Grips Pro Shops, and how to set one up with your own branding in an afternoon.

What the Sport-Tek Quarter-Zip Pullover Actually Is

The Sport-Tek quarter-zip pullover is a mid-layer piece built for a half-open collar with a zip pull instead of a full front zipper or a pullover-only crew neck. Through Bear Grips Pro Shops it is available in two cuts:

• Men's Performance Quarter-Zip Pullover (Sport-Tek). Free base $35.95, VIP base $29.88.
• Ladies' Quarter-Zip Pullover (Sport-Tek). Free base $35.95, VIP base $29.88.

Both cuts save $6.07 per unit on the VIP plan versus the free plan, a gap that adds up fast on staff or team orders where a dozen pieces go out at once.

Why a Quarter-Zip Beats a Full Hoodie for Customer-Facing Wear

• Layers cleaner over a collared shirt or polo. The half-open collar sits flat instead of bunching like a pullover hoodie hood.
• Reads more professional. Sales calls, gym front desks, and coaching sidelines lean toward a quarter-zip over a hoodie for anything customer-facing.
• Easier to layer on and off. The short front zip lets a wearer vent or shed the piece without pulling it over their head.
• Embroiders cleanly. The flat chest panel above the zip is a natural spot for a left-chest logo.

How Ordering a Custom Sport-Tek Pullover Actually Works

1. Create a Pro Shop (free to start, no card required for the free tier).
2. Upload your logo as a transparent PNG.
3. Add the men's and/or ladies' Sport-Tek quarter-zip pullover to your shop and place the logo (left chest is standard).
4. Set your retail price. Most shops price the pullover between $44 and $56 and keep the difference over the VIP base as profit.
5. Order one for yourself to check fit, or send the shop link straight to your team or customers.

There is no setup fee, no plate charge, and no minimum quantity. A single pullover for a new hire costs the same per unit as an order of fifty.

Free vs VIP: Which Plan Makes Sense for a Pullover Shop

Plan	Price	Live products	Pullover base
Free	$0/mo	3	$35.95
Self-Service VIP	$59/mo	200	$29.88
Done-For-You VIP	$105/mo	250	$29.88 (shop built and managed for you)

A shop that expects to move more than about ten pullovers a month clears the $59 VIP fee on the per-unit savings alone, before counting the other 199 product slots that open up alongside it.

Design Tips That Keep a Sport-Tek Pullover Looking Professional

• Left chest placement, 3 to 4 inches. The standard spot above the quarter-zip.
• Keep it to one or two colors. Simpler logos print and embroider cleaner at small sizes.
• Add a back print only for team or event pieces. Staff and sales pullovers usually stay front-only.
• Preview every color before you commit. A logo that reads clean on black can wash out on heather grey.
