What are the best pump covers?
Shirts
Fenxxxl Women’s Oversized T-shirt
Fenxxxl offer a wide range of pump cover t-shirts with different and unique designs. They are cheap, but with 4k+ reviews and an average rating of 4.4.
So despite the price, a lot of people still seem to think that it’s great for covering a gym pump. Do note that they are 100% polyester, so they won’t be much help at keeping you warm.
Gymshark Training Oversized T-Shirt
Gymshark oversized t-shirts are better quality than the Fenxxxl, but they do cost almost twice as much. The quality is arguably better, but another downside is that they only have two options. They are 100% cotton though, so they’ll keep your muscles warm and ready to go at all times.
Vamtac Men’s Oversized T-shirt
Vamtac t-shirts are really great pump covers because they are neutral and oversized. They also have a huge range of colors to choose from. However, they are 100% cotton so they’ll capture a lot of the heat and make you sweat like crazy. But what do you expect from a pump cover.
Gymshark Power T-shirt
Once again, Gymshark power shirts make for a great pump cover, although they are not as oversized as the Vamtac shirts. They also have less coloring options, but if you like and trust Gymshark for their quality and style, then I suggest you choose the power shirt. They are 95% cotton and 5% elastane, so they should be a bit more flexible than the Vamtac pump covers.
GASP T-shirts
GASP is famous for making enormous apparel. They are usually aimed for giants like strongmen or elite bodybuilders, but if you’re looking for the most oversized pump cover gym shirts then I suggest you take a look at what GASP has to offer. Most if not all of their shirts are 60% cotton and 40% polyester.
Hoodies
THE GYM PEOPLE Women’s Oversized Hoodie
These hoodies by TGP are perfect to cover a gym pump. They are also very efficient at making you sweat a lot, if that’s what you’re looking for. Definitely more than you would with just a sports bra. They are 75% polyester and 25% cotton and come in 4 colors.
Gymshark Rest Day Sweats Hoodie
If you’ve got a bigger budget and are looking for guaranteed quality then these Gymshark hoodies are for you. Gymshark is popular in the fitness industry for a reason you know. They really do have a good price-to-quality ratio.
The hoodies come in 4 colors and of course, they’re oversized. Wouldn’t be much of a pump cover if they weren’t, right? Note that they are 98% cotton and 2% elastane, so don’t be surprised if they develop an odor after only a few workouts.
Hanes Men’s Hoodie
Hanes is a lesser known brand but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have anything to offer. Over 20 000 gym goers have rated their hoodies so they must be doing something right. Their hoodies are affordable and come in 5 different colors. They are 50% polyester and 50% cotton.
GASP Hoodies and Sweatshirts
GASP has a wide variety of oversized clothing. Whether you prefer a gym sweatshirt or a hoodie, they’ve got you covered. The fact that their products are huge means that they make for the best pump cover gym clothing. They have a wide variety of designs and colors, with most of their hoodies and sweatshirts being 65% cotton and 35% polyester.
What is a pump cover?
A pump cover is a piece of clothing that is typically worn at the gym. It’s normally an oversized hoodie or an oversized t-shirt. The goal of a pump cover is to hide your body at the beginning of your workout. Once you start getting or noticing a pump, it can be taken off.
They can be worn as a fashion statement or because the wearer wants to hide their body. Some also claim that the extra layer helps to burn more calories by making the body produce more heat and sweat more.
Final thoughts
I hope that this list provided you with a pump cover to wear or at least with an idea of what’s out there on the market. As you could see, I didn’t include sweatshirts in this list. I just don’t find them to be as cool and badass as hoodies.
I do want to note that you take a look at the materials of the product that you’ve chosen. You might find that you like clothing that has more cotton, because it absorbs more sweat. Or it could be the other way around. Either way, you’ll have to try a few different variations before you’ll know for sure.
