Quick answer
For most gym sessions, the Women's Athletic Glyder Pure Leggings and the Athletic Brewing Co Long Sleeve T-Shirt - Navy are your go-to combo: the leggings offer high-waist coverage and softness for squats or yoga, while the tee's ring-spun cotton keeps you comfortable during lighter training. If you need extra warmth for outdoor workouts, the Midweight Hoodie - Storm Blue is the pick. Choose based on activity intensity and climate, not just looks.

When you're heading to the gym, the right clothing can make or break your session. Athletic Brewing Co. offers more than just great non-alcoholic beer—their merchandise line includes practical pieces that work as hard as you do. This guide helps you choose gym-ready apparel based on fit, fabric, and function, so you can represent your favorite brew brand without sacrificing performance.
We'll walk through the key differences between the available tops, bottoms, and accessories, and give you clear decision rules. Whether you're lifting, stretching, or running on the treadmill, you'll know exactly what to wear and why.
What to Look for in Gym Apparel
Gym clothing needs to move with you, breathe, and stay comfortable through sweat. For tops, look for soft, breathable fabrics that won't irritate during reps. Ring-spun cotton, like what's used in the Athletic Brewing Co Long Sleeve T-Shirt - Navy, offers superior softness and breathability—ideal for moderate workouts or layering. Avoid heavy materials if you tend to overheat.
For bottoms, coverage and fit are key. High-waist leggings with a flattering cut, like the Women's Athletic Glyder Pure Leggings, provide confidence-boosting coverage that stays put during squats or yoga. If you prefer more compression or different lengths, consider your activity: yoga favors flexibility, while lifting might benefit from a snugger fit.
- Check the fabric content: cotton blends are comfy but may not wick sweat as well as synthetics; for intense cardio, consider a moisture-wicking option.
- Test the fit: high-waist leggings reduce the need for mid-workout adjustments.
- Layer smart: a long sleeve tee under a hoodie works for cold gyms or outdoor sessions.
Tops: Long Sleeve Tee vs. Hoodie
The Athletic Brewing Co Long Sleeve T-Shirt - Navy is a versatile choice for gym wear. Its ring-spun cotton and garment dye deliver softness and breathability all day. It's perfect for weight training, light cardio, or as a base layer. However, it's not designed for heavy sweating—cotton can absorb moisture and feel heavy. If your workout is intense, you might prefer a synthetic top.
For colder environments, the Athletic Brewing Co. Midweight Hoodie - Storm Blue offers an 80/20 cotton/polyester blend fleece that provides warmth without bulk. The pouch pocket and drawstring hood add convenience, making it great for outdoor workouts or warming up before a session. But it's too warm for intense indoor cardio, so reserve it for cool-downs or low-intensity days.

- Use the long sleeve tee for moderate workouts or as a stylish layer.
- Reach for the hoodie when you need extra warmth—think outdoor runs in fall or chilly gyms.
Bottoms and Accessories That Work
The Women's Athletic Glyder Pure Leggings are a standout for gym bottoms. Designed for ladies who live in leggings, they offer a high-waist fit that pairs with confidence-boosting coverage—even at the squat rack or in yoga. The soft, comfy fabric makes them suitable for both athletic and athleisure wear. They're not compression tights, so if you need maximum squeeze, look elsewhere.
Don't forget your feet. The Athletic Brewing DeFeet 6" Aireator Sock is an ankle sock with a breathable, moisture-wicking knit—ideal for running or gym sessions where your feet work hard. They're a great complement to your gym outfit, whether you're crushing a 5K or just hitting the treadmill.
- Pair the leggings with the long sleeve tee for a complete gym look.
- Choose the Aireator socks for breathability during cardio or weight training.
Your gym merch decision rules
- Pick leggings for flexibility and coverage: If your workout involves squats, lunges, or yoga, the high-waist Glyder leggings provide the coverage you need without constant adjustments. They're soft and comfortable for all-day wear. Best for lower-body and flexibility-focused sessions.
- Choose the long sleeve tee for moderate intensity: For weightlifting, light cardio, or stretching, the ring-spun cotton tee breathes well and feels soft. Avoid it for heavy sweating—cotton can hold moisture. Great for gym days with mild to moderate sweat.
- Layer with the hoodie for cold environments: When the gym is chilly or you're training outdoors, the midweight hoodie adds warmth without bulk. The pouch pocket is handy for keys or phone. Ideal for warm-ups and cool-downs, not for intense cardio.
- Don't forget socks for foot comfort: The Aireator socks' moisture-wicking knit helps keep feet dry, which is key for any workout. They're a simple upgrade to your gym kit. Wear them for running, lifting, or any session where foot comfort matters.
