This racerback tank is featherlight and free, with roomy armholes for breathability where it counts.
Men should typically size up, but fit is best determined by referencing the size chart. 'Women's Sizing' indicates sizing based on standard garment manufacturing terms, and is not meant to suggest gender identity.
The finished garment is washed in color, rather than dying the fabric prior to cutting and sewing. This results in subtle variations of color and a softer texture. Washed White is not garment-dyed.
Hemp will take good care of you, especially if you take good care of it. Below are some suggested tips for taking the best care of your hemp.

Hemp is a naturally strong, durable fiber, which is why we use it to make clothing you'll wear for years. It's also a remarkable crop: in the right conditions, it grows with relatively little irrigation and fewer chemical inputs than cotton.
The facts:
Stronger fiber than cotton. In a peer-reviewed comparison, hemp fibers measured 310–850 MPa in tensile strength, compared with 287–597 MPa for cotton. [BioResources, NC State University]
Resists pilling and wear. In 2025 lab testing of woven bast-fiber fabrics, hemp earned the highest pilling-resistance rating of the fabrics tested, holding up across repeated wear cycles. [Fibres & Textiles in Eastern Europe, 2025]
Uses less water. Hemp uses about 38% less water than cotton over a growing season, and its water footprint is roughly 60% lower. [Journal of Agrometeorology, 2023; Journal of Cannabis Research, 2025]
Needs fewer pesticides than cotton. Cotton is one of the most pesticide-intensive US field crops, with 42 million pounds applied across 10.3 million acres in 2021. Hemp is typically grown with substantially less pesticide input. [USDA data via Organic Trade Association]
Captures carbon as it grows. Published estimates put hemp's CO₂ uptake at roughly 3–15 tonnes per hectare during cultivation. At the higher end, that outpaces the 2–6 tonnes per hectare per year typical of forests. [Portland State University review; University of Cambridge research]
Can help clean soil. Hemp roots can absorb low levels of heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and zinc from soil. This process is called phytoremediation. [Portland State University review]
Facts refer to hemp fiber and cultivation. Many of our garments are hemp–organic cotton blends.

"This tank top fits great, true to size, the fabric is lighter weight than the cropped and spaghetti tanks, more like the ojai t-shirt which is perfect especially since I got them to use at the gym. I love everything from Jungmaven, the quality and fit are unbeatable."
"I came here for a racerback tank with a loose line, and was seeking natural fibers. This fits the bill, and I like many of the available colors (so nice to see hues beyond white, black, gray). Still, I'm not sure these are worth the price, as they are thin, the edges sit waffley/bacon-like and I feel like a few washes are going lead to tears or wholes around the stitches."
"I absolutely love this tank I actually spilled some oil on it and was freaking out and I called customer service and they reached out right away and helped me get it out"
"I don't know why it's so hard to find a racerback tank made of natural materials but I'm so glad I found this! I'm always between a XS and S and probably could have done an XS."
"I was skeptical in purchasing due to not knowing how it would fit me size wise. I bought a Large and my size is 36 inches bust/ 31 inches under waist 32 inches. It fits me loose as I wanted and the hemp material is AMAZING in this summer heat."
"The weigh and cut of this are great - I like the low armpit cut and it drapes nicely. I just hope the fabric doesnt get those little holes in after a few washes…only time will tell!"
"This tank is exactly what I was looking for. It’s not tight or too short, the racerback is a good width. I’ll be wearing these a lot"
"I got the rainwashed xs essential tank, and although it seemed a bit skimpy at first, it's absolutely lovely, flattering and thin material. Holding up well. Will buy more."
"I love this tank! Fit is perfect, holds its shape well, and I can wear a racer back bra without the straps showing (not always possible with tank tops, even other racer back styles)."
"The tank is looser than I expected, particularly through the bust area. The medium fits more like a large, so I would size down if that would bother you. The material is great and the color is beautiful!"
