Five tank tops, all black, all size L. Five is the count that takes a shaping layer out of the occasional-wear category: one per working day, with the laundry done at the weekend instead of mid-week. The thermal compression construction is aimed at slimming and lifting rather than at light support.
With the whole set in black at one size, getting dressed stops involving a choice, and a shirt lost to a stain does not break up a matched pair. For anyone who wears a shaping layer as routine underwear, uniformity is the feature.
The brand calls it a revolutionary slimming and lifting undergarment aimed at a visible slimming effect for men, worn as a belly shaping vest that tightens and shrinks a bulging stomach. The claim is about the outline under clothing.
The blend is 90% nylon and 10% spandex, soft and comfortable by the brand description, in a sleeveless cut that layers under shirts without adding a second set of sleeves. Listed uses run from running and basketball to strength training and gym sessions.
Size L covers a 27.1 to 29.1 inch chest and a 28.3 to 29.9 inch waist, with the chart running M to XXL, and the brand states plainly that the shirt runs small and asks anyone between sizes to take the larger one. Wearing it is also framed as a daily reminder to keep fit.
