Gore Sportive Lady Tank review

The Sportive lady tank is a stretchy, form-fitting first layer. Made from Gore’s Coolpower material, it’s extremely supple and cool to the touch, and while moisture doesn’t evaporate quite as quickly as some more porous fabrics, it remains comfortable on the inside.

The upper back yoke, an area that often gets sweaty, is constructed in a double layered mesh for added wicking. There’s a built-in mesh bra that supports smaller busts for cycling and Mtbing, though larger women may prefer to wear a sports bra underneath as well.

Coverage under the arms is just right – non-revealing but not uncomfortably tight either- and the racerback cut gives plenty of freedom to move. There’s a tiny zippered rear pocket for stowing cash or keys, but it’s not easy to get into while riding. Reflective piping on the back and front are discreetly included for a safety bonus.
