GSi Sports Pinnies Training Vest Packs (6 or 12) – Free Size Mesh for Soccer & Basketball
Product description
If you run regular sessions for a squad, pinnies are one of those kit items that quietly gets used up fast. The GSi Sports Pinnies come as a pack (6 or 12) in a free-size cut, using lightweight mesh meant for quick changes and long, warm-weather practices.
On paper, they’re designed for the messy reality of PE lessons and team scrimmages: easy to pull on and off, breathable, and built to hold up through repeated weekly washes. That said, they’re not thick training bibs, so if you want something more like hard-wearing training tops for heavy contact, you may find the mesh a bit too light.
The essentials
These are mesh training vests for football (soccer), basketball and general training games. The key idea is a loose training fit with a one-size approach intended for most adults 16+ years. The cut is described as roomy on purpose, so players can swap bibs quickly between drills without fighting tight seams.
The set is also meant to help with team separation: the pack is described as high-visibility blue, with a consistent colour across the vests. There’s even a carry bag included, which is handy if you’re packing kit for multiple sessions or rotating between home and away facilities.
What stands out in day-to-day use
The mesh construction is the main practical benefit. It’s thin and breathable (not thick fabric), and it’s positioned as ideal when sessions run long and you want something that won’t feel clammy. If you’ve ever tried to hand out thicker bibs in hot conditions, you’ll understand the appeal of a quick-dry, ventilated feel.
There’s also reinforcement around the neck and sleeves with cotton piping, and reinforced stitching for durability. In real terms, that’s the sort of detail that tends to matter most on training pinnies: the edges where wear starts first after lots of on/off changes.
And yes, the biggest “value” angle here is the pack size—buying 6 or 12 at once makes it easier to run drills with proper spacing and fewer mix-ups, especially if you’re coaching groups that don’t all arrive at the same time.

Pros and what you’ll notice
The strongest selling point is the combination of breathability and easy-change design. For drills, it’s the difference between “quick swap and keep moving” and “stop-start because someone’s stuck in their bib”. The loose fit is clearly intentional, and it should suit players who want comfort during training rather than a snug, compression-style feel.
Durability is addressed with reinforced areas and stitching, plus the fact that the pinnies are described as washable and colour-stable for repeated weekly use by teams and training groups. That makes them more convincing for regular practice cycles than low-cost bibs that quickly fade or fray.
What to watch before you buy
It might be worth being a little cautious if your sessions are very high-intensity or you expect the pinnies to take a lot of abrasion. Because these are described as lightweight mesh (not thick fabric), they’re not trying to be protective kit, they’re meant for visibility and training use.
Also, the free-size claim is paired with an upper chest limit stated as up to a 48" chest. If your players regularly sit above that range, you may find the loose fit doesn’t look as intended, or it could shift more than you want during fast drills.
Finally, while the colour is described as high-visibility blue for team separation, this isn’t presented as a multi-colour pack. If your sessions rely on multiple colour codes at once, you may need to think about how you’ll allocate them.
Is it worth it?
It’s a solid pick if you need breathable mesh pinnies for routine team training, PE classes, soccer or basketball scrimmages, and you value quick changes and easier team separation through a consistent colour. The included carry bag is also a practical touch for coaches and schools.
It may not suit you if you’re expecting thick, rugged training vests for rough use, or if your players sit consistently outside the stated fit guidance (up to a 48" chest). In those cases, you may want to look for a more substantial bib style designed for heavier wear.
