Plump Jersey Tank

Verified claims

Moisture

50% more absorbent than cotton; gradual release keeps skin dry in moderate workouts.

Softness

TENCEL Modal fiber design ensures softness that lasts through repeated washes.

Value

Polygiene silver salt stops odor bacteria and is certified safe for sensitive skin.

Credentials

Recycled silver, 3,800 L water and 51 kWh saved yearly, bluesign/Oeko-Tex certified.

Performance

TENCEL Modal stays soft, absorbs 50% more moisture than cotton, and Polygiene eliminates odors permanently.

Washing

Wash cold (≤30°C) with ≤400 rpm spin, in a mesh bag, away from zippers.

Drying

Lay flat to dry to prevent neckline stretching from water weight.

Fabric durability

Smooth TENCEL Modal fibers withstand repeated washing; recycled polyester needs gentle care to avoid abrasion.

Armhole cut

Low armholes expose bra straps and allow full movement; racerback or strappy bra recommended.

Sizing

True to size; stretch jersey lets you choose tighter or looser.

Material durability

Smooth, pilling-resistant blend and Polygiene treatment extend the tank's usable life.

Care

Requires cold wash, low spin, and flat drying to prevent snagging and deformation.

Brand provenance

Simons' own activewear label designed in Canada, exclusive to Simons.

Activity suitability

Suited for moderate yoga and barre; less performance for intense cardio.

Fit and versatility

Low armholes allow full range of motion; design transitions from studio to casual.

Safety

Bluesign, Oeko-Tex, and REACH certified for chemical and skin safety.

Competitive pricing

Half the price of EveryRep Tencel Tank with Polygiene odor control.

How TENCEL Modal feels and performs during exercise

• TENCEL™ Modal absorbs roughly 50% more moisture than cotton, actively pulling perspiration into the fiber and releasing it to the air, which keeps the fabric feeling dry and light against skin even mid-workout — the tank won't get that heavy, wet cling of a cotton jersey under sweat.
• The tank's softness is engineered into the fiber: TENCEL™ Modal has a smooth cross-section and high tenacity that not only create a silky handfeel from day one but survive repeated machine wash/dry cycles without coarsening, so the luxurious sensation is durable, not a temporary finish.
• Unlike hydrophobic synthetics that rely solely on wicking, TENCEL™ Modal fibers absorb moisture into their internal structure and then desorb it gradually, continuously regulating the humidity against your skin to reduce that clammy, overheated feeling during a barre class or moderate session.

Polygiene odor control technology explained

• Polygiene sources the silver for StayFresh from recycled industrial waste, adding a second sustainability layer (beyond the post-consumer recycled polyester) and sidestepping the environmental footprint of virgin silver mining, a detail rarely surfaced in a $29 sports top.
• Polygiene StayFresh, the technology powering this tank, uses silver chloride—a naturally occurring salt—that releases silver ions which bind to odor-causing bacterial cell membranes and block respiratory enzymes, preventing the bacteria from multiplying; because the treatment is integrated into the fabric during finishing, not applied as a surface coating, it remains active for the garment's usable life rather than washing away over time.
• An independent LCA on a Polygiene StayFresh-treated t-shirt found that wearing it twice between washes saves 3,800 liters of water and 51 kWh of energy annually—a concrete sustainability benefit that compounds with the recycled polyester already in this tank and justifies skipping laundry cycles between light gym sessions.
• For stretchy tops worn across multiple workouts without washing, silver-ion treatments like this one outperform bio-acid antimicrobials (e.g., HeiQ Fresh) because they are bactericidal rather than merely preventing bacterial adhesion, a difference that becomes meaningful after about seven days of accumulated wear—making the tank a more reliable choice for active days, travel, or overnight hikes.
• The treatment holds bluesign, Oeko-Tex Eco-Passport, and REACH compliance, independent certifications that verify it meets strict chemical-safety and environmental standards for consumer textiles, and it is only active inside the fabric without disrupting the wearer's natural skin bacteria, so prolonged contact is safe even for sensitive skin.

How it compares to other budget-friendly workout tanks

• The Icyzone Racerback 3-Pack offers basic polyester tanks with no built-in extras at a price per tank that rivals the Plump Jersey; choosing the single-plump tank trades quantity for TENCEL™ Modal softness, recycled polyester durability, and Polygiene® antimicrobial performance — a shift from disposable gym basics to a more sustainable, odor-managed staple.
• I.FIV5 is Simons’ own activewear label designed in Canada, which means the Plump Jersey Tank isn’t a generic private-label item but a curated piece with a local-design background; this provenance gives it a distinct presence that mass-market tanks from Old Navy, Amazon Essentials, or Walmart cannot replicate, appealing to buyers who want their activewear to feel like a thoughtful choice rather than a commodity purchase.
• The EveryRep Trainer Tencel Tank uses a nearly identical 95% TENCEL™ Modal / 5% Elastane fabric but retails at $48 USD (~$65 CAD) and relies solely on the fiber’s natural antimicrobial properties; the Plump Jersey Tank drops the price by over half and layers Polygiene® on top, so you get the same modal hand feel plus machine-stable odor control at a fraction of the cost.
• For $15 USD or less, the Hanes Cool DRI Performance Tank delivers effective moisture-wicking in a traditional polyester blend but leaves odor management to frequent laundering; spending the extra $10–15 CAD on the Plump Jersey Tank swaps the polyester hand for a TENCEL™ Modal shell, adds 28% recycled polyester, and installs Polygiene® permanent odor control — an upgrade that extends the wear-to-wash window and delivers a notably softer, less synthetic skin feel.

The sustainability of TENCEL and recycled polyester

• TENCEL™ Modal fibers carry the EU Ecolabel for textile products, a third-party certification that verifies a reduced environmental footprint across the product life cycle — from raw material extraction to production and use.
• The TENCEL™ Modal fiber in this tank is manufactured via a resource-efficient process that recovers and reuses chemicals, minimizing waste and pollution compared to conventional modal production methods.
• Based on Higg MSI data, TENCEL™ Modal production emits at least 50% less carbon and uses at least 50% less water compared to generic modal — so the 64% TENCEL™ Modal content significantly lowers this tank’s impact relative to a standard modal garment.
• Roughly 98% of recycled polyester — including the 28% content in this tank — is derived from post-consumer PET bottles rather than textile waste, giving single-use plastic a second life inside a durable garment.
• Life-cycle assessments show that recycled polyester uses 45–85% less energy and generates 30–60% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than virgin polyester, meaning the tank’s polyester component has a substantially lower carbon and resource footprint from the start.
