The Sport-Tek Womens Line: A Guide for Custom Apparel Shops

Sport-Tek built its name on moisture-wicking performance polyester, and it is the brand most gym owners and coaches reach for when the apparel has to survive an actual workout rather than just look good in the parking lot. Here is what the Sport-Tek womens line actually covers in the Bear Grips catalog, what it is missing, and how to fill the gaps.

What Sport-Tek Carries for Women in the Catalog

Product	VIP base	Best for
Ladies' Moisture Wicking Tee	$25.88	Sweat-heavy training, hot climates
Ladies' Quarter-Zip Pullover	$29.88	Layering, sales calls, cool mornings
Women's Skort	$34.88	Golf, tennis, pickleball, coaching sidelines
Ladies 3" Fitness Shorts	$30.88	Running, HIIT, short high-intensity training

Every one of these is a womens-cut pattern, not a unisex piece run down a size, which is the reason coaches and studio owners reach for Sport-Tek when fit matters as much as fabric.

Why Performance Fabric Matters for a Training Lineup

Cotton absorbs sweat and holds it; performance polyester wicks it away from the skin and dries fast between sets. For a shop built around hard training (a CrossFit box, a running club, a HIIT studio) the Sport-Tek pieces hold up to the actual use case better than an all-cotton lineup. Cotton pieces like the Bella+Canvas Favorite Tee still have a place for post-workout and everyday wear; the split is usually performance-for-training and cotton-for-everything-else.

What Sport-Tek Does Not Carry in a Womens Cut

The catalog does not include a Sport-Tek womens legging, jogger, or hoodie as a womens-specific pattern. For those categories, the Bear Grips house brand fills the gap directly: the Signature Seamless Leggings ($54.88 VIP base), the Women's High-Waist Pocket Leggings ($54.88), and the Women's Wave Wash Sweatpants ($39.88 through Independent Trading Co.) round out the bottoms and cold-weather layers a Sport-Tek-only lineup would be missing.

Building a Performance-First Womens Shop

1. Start with the Ladies' Moisture Wicking Tee and Ladies 3" Fitness Shorts as the training core.
2. Add the Bear Grips Signature Seamless Leggings for the bottoms Sport-Tek does not carry.
3. Add the Ladies' Quarter-Zip Pullover for cool mornings and sideline coaching.
4. Round out with the Padded Sports Bra for standalone or layered support.

See the team apparel guide for how this lineup applies to leagues and club sports specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Sport-Tek make a womens legging in the catalog?

Not as a Sport-Tek pattern. The Bear Grips house brand fills leggings and joggers; Sport-Tek covers the tee, quarter-zip, skort, and fitness short.

Whats the difference between Sport-Tek and Bella+Canvas for womens apparel?

Sport-Tek is performance polyester built for moisture-wicking and hard training. Bella+Canvas is soft cotton built for everyday comfort and a retail-style fit.

Whats the Sport-Tek womens skort used for?

Golf, tennis, pickleball, and sideline coaching, where a skort reads more polished than shorts for customer or spectator-facing settings.

Can I combine Sport-Tek tops with Bear Grips leggings in one shop?

Yes. All catalog products sit in one shop regardless of brand, so a performance tee and a Bear Grips legging sell side by side.
