Description
The Badger 4166 is the Women's B-Core Racerback Tank Top, a 100% polyester performance body built for athletic and spirit-wear decoration programs that need moisture management on a sublimation-ready substrate. At 3.5 oz/yd2 of B-Core performance fabric, the tank wicks moisture away from the body and carries an antimicrobial finish that controls odor through repeated wear and washing. The A-line body gives a relaxed, flattering silhouette without the tight compression of a fitted athletic tank. The racerback cut leaves shoulders free and opens a clean print zone on the upper back. Self-fabric binding at the neck and armholes, single-needle stitching on the neck and armholes, and a double-needle hem with tack hold the lightweight poly body together through commercial wash cycles. A Badger heat-seal logo sits at the center back neck. The size range runs XS through 2XL.
The Badger 4166 is 100% polyester, which opens the full poly decoration toolkit and makes sublimation the standout route. On white, the open poly face accepts dye-sublimation with full colour saturation, no migration risk, and a permanent bond that will not crack, peel, or fade through wash cycles. The light 3.5 oz fabric sublimes fast and produces vivid edge-to-edge all-over prints. On coloured grounds, sublimation still works for lighter-shade designs, but DTF is the stronger route since the transfer lays on top of the dyed poly with no bleed-through. For screen printing, use a plastisol ink with a poly-blocking underbase on any mid-to-dark ground and keep cure temperature moderate so the poly does not scorch or shrink; the lightweight body also needs a light deposit so it does not stiffen. Vinyl and HTV press clean on the smooth poly face at a controlled temperature. Embroidery is limited on this body. The 3.5 oz weight is light enough that dense stitch counts pucker the fabric, so keep designs small and use a cut-away stabiliser on the hoop. DTG does not apply to 100% polyester since there is no cotton for the water-based pigment to bond to. Print placement note for the racerback: centre the front design on the A-line body and keep side edges clear of the racerback seam where the panels join at the upper back.

The reorder note for this style: the 100% polyester body holds colour and shape through dozens of wash cycles better than a cotton or cotton-blend tank, which makes it a reliable repeat-order substrate for team and league programs that reorder season after season. White is the sublimation-ready ground. On coloured grounds, default to DTF for the cleanest colour and step to plastisol screen only when run volume justifies the setup. The Badger 4120 B-Core Sport Shoulders T-Shirt runs the same 100% polyester B-Core fabric in a short-sleeve tee for programs that want a matched performance set across tees and tanks.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sublimation | ✓ | the 100% polyester body accepts full dye-sublimation on white with vivid edge-to-edge colour, permanent bond, and no cracking or peeling; on coloured grounds lighter-shade designs still work but full-colour coverage is best on white |
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | the transfer bonds cleanly to the smooth poly face at a standard heat press, the strongest route on coloured grounds where sublimation loses saturation; soft low-bulk film keeps the lightweight drape |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | plastisol with a poly-blocking underbase on mid-to-dark grounds, moderate cure so the poly does not scorch, light deposit so the 3.5 oz body does not stiffen |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | presses clean on the smooth poly face at a controlled temperature; keep designs sized so they do not stiffen the lightweight tank body |
| Embroidery | ✓ | limited on this body; the 3.5 oz weight puckers under dense stitch counts, so keep designs small and use a cut-away stabiliser |
| DTG | ✗ | 100% polyester carries no cotton for water-based pigment ink to bond to; route to sublimation on white or DTF on coloured grounds |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✗ | polyester will not discharge; the process requires a cotton substrate |

Fabric Blend by Color Group
Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.
| Color Group | Blend | Print Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| All solid colours (White, Black, Navy, Royal, Red, Hot Pink, Lime, Electric Blue, Columbia Blue, Safety Yellow, Graphite, Maroon, Purple) | 100% polyester, 3.5 oz | Uniform 100% poly across the full range with no blend exceptions. White is the sublimation-ready ground for full-colour edge-to-edge prints. On coloured grounds, DTF lays on top with no bleed and plastisol screen needs a poly-blocking underbase. |
