Fit
Labelled compression, sized to chest on the brand chart A loose tank won't stay down or support anything.
Fabric
Lightweight synthetic/elastane knit that dries fast Tanks are bought for heat, so breathability matters most.
Hem
Body long enough to stay tucked or a gripper hem Short tanks ride up under shorts during lifts.
