Badger 4166 - Women’s B-Core Racerback Tank Top - Navy

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.
