Is the Polaris Classic Tank Top true to size?

It is cut as a regular fit, so most shoppers take their usual size. If you want a looser layer, size up; cotton tanks like this can shrink after a hot wash.

It is a cotton tank, so it breathes well but holds moisture. It is not a moisture-wicking athletic fabric, which matters if you sweat heavily.

How should I wash it to keep its shape?

Wash cold and tumble low or hang dry. Hot water and high heat are the main causes of shrinkage and a stretched neckline in cotton tanks.

Is it good for the gym?

It works for light workouts and casual wear. For heavy sweating, a synthetic tank with moisture-wicking fabric will stay drier and hold its shape better.

How does it compare with athletic tank tops?

It is softer and cheaper-feeling than performance tanks but lacks stretch panels, wicking fabric and odor control. Choose it for layering, not for intense training.
