Tank top : Benefits and virtues
The sports tank top has a bad reputation, and often rightly so: too thin, it becomes transparent after two washes, stretches at the armholes, and ends up at the bottom of the bag.
We tackled the problem with the material. A fabric of 180 GSM, 95% cotton with 5% elastane: dense enough to hold its shape and remain opaque, flexible enough to never restrict movement. It's a tank top that you keep, not a disposable item.
The GSM (grams per square meter) measures the density of a fabric. It's the most honest indicator of what you will actually receive.
- Under 140 GSM: the realm of very light tank tops, often translucent, with a short lifespan.
- 180 GSM: a dense weave that drapes well, does not show through, and withstands repeated washing.
This is the compromise we have chosen: the durability of a real garment, without the weight of a thick fabric.
Two choices structure this tank top:
- The athletic fit. Fitted at the shoulders and chest, it follows the silhouette instead of floating. The stretch fabric does the rest: it stretches with movement and then returns to its shape.
- The racerback. The straps narrow towards the upper back, completely freeing the shoulders and shoulder blades. During pulling, pressing, or weightlifting, nothing rubs or rides up.
The straight hem completes the ensemble: it stays in place, even with arms overhead.

Like all cotton-spandex, it is best to handle it gently to preserve the fit and elasticity:
- Machine wash at 30°C, inside out
- Air dry rather than tumble dry, which wears out the spandex
- No fabric softener, no bleach
- Gentle ironing if necessary, avoiding marking
Always refer to the label sewn into the garment.
Frequently asked questions
The fit is athletic, so close to the body. If you like this fitted look, stick to your usual size. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, take the next size up. The tank top is available in M and L.
No. This is precisely the reason for choosing a 180 GSM: at this density, the mesh remains opaque, even in the white color. Tank tops that are see-through are generally well below this weight.
Cotton may still shrink slightly after the first wash. A wash at 30°C and air drying significantly limit this phenomenon. It is the high-temperature tumble dryer that causes the most damage to cotton-elastane.
It frees the shoulders and shoulder blades. Specifically, on a vertical pull, a press, or an overhead movement, no strap rubs or rides up. This is also what gives the tank top its characteristic silhouette.
Yes, thanks to the 5% elastane blended with cotton. The fabric stretches with the range of motion and then returns to its shape, which 100% cotton does not do.
The tank top is available in black and white, both featuring the DIX logo on the front and the POWERED BY DIX signature on the back.
