TORCH Women’s Bodysuits Update | Shark Tank Season 15

Military uniforms often come with stiff, uncomfortable tees that don’t fit well or feel good, especially for women. Haley McClain Hill experienced this firsthand during her time in the Air Force, so she created TORCH, a line of soft, body-hugging bodysuits that match official military colors. Can Haley get a shark to help her take TORCH to the next level? Let’s find out in our TORCH update and pitch recap.

Shark Tank TORCH Pitch

Shark Tank Torch Update
  • Entrepreneur: Haley McClain Hill
  • Business: Women’s bodysuit
  • Ask: $150,000 for 10% equity
  • Result: $150,000 for 22.5% equity
  • Shark: Lori Greiner

Haley walked into Shark Tank and told the sharks she served in the U.S. Air Force and spent years wearing itchy, boxy T-shirts made for men.

Frustrated, she designed TORCH, a line of the first military-grade bodysuits made for women.

TORCH bodysuits come in short and long sleeve options. They match the exact colours worn by different branches of the military.

Haley added the word “fearless” to every bodysuit, embroidered in her own handwriting, to boost morale for the women wearing them.

Additionally, the fabric is breathable and stretchable, making it comfortable for top performance.

But TORCH isn’t just for women in the military. Haley said the line is growing to serve firefighters, healthcare workers, and women in law enforcement.

Guest shark Emma Grede needed clarification on why women in the military cannot wear just any bodysuit. She’s especially curious because she sells millions of bodysuits with SKIMS and Good American.

Haley explained that the military requires shirts to be a certain color, and the sleeves must be a specific length. She made sure to roll in the correct specifications for the TORCH products.

Additionally, she just got a deal with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, the largest buyer for the military around the world. Her official rollout was scheduled for the following month.

Mark Cuban asked what led her to start the company. Haley said it was her grandmother, a 20-year Air Force veteran, who encouraged her to pursue entrepreneurship.

That same grandmother invested $50,000 into TORCH. Haley matched it with $50,000 of her own savings, her military retirement money.

In terms of sales, she launched in June of 2021 and ended the year with $16,000 in sales. The next year, she had $86,000 in sales.

During the current year of filming, she was on track to do $500,000 in sales by the end of the year.

Further, the bodysuits cost her $13 to make. The short sleeve retails for $60, and the long sleeve goes for $75. All products are made in the USA.

Kevin O’Leary said he liked Haley, but worried a larger brand could copy the idea and take over the market. He passed.

Robert Herjavec felt the market was too niche. He went out. Mark said the business wasn’t the right fit for him and dropped out, too.

Emma agreed with Kevin’s point about larger players in the industry. She wished Haley well but ultimately went out.

Thankfully for Haley, Lori Greiner came in with an offer. She offered $150,000 for 25% equity, which is higher than what Haley wanted.

Haley countered at 20% equity. Lori responded with 22.5%, to which Haley finally accepted.

Now that she has a deal on Shark Tank, will she eventually be able to grow her brand to the powerhouse she dreams of? Keep reading our TORCH update to find out!

Shark Tank TORCH Update

We have some good news to share in our TORCH update. We found that the deal with Lori Greiner successfully closed after the episode aired.

TORCH is now featured on Lori’s official website, confirming the partnership.

In the months that followed, TORCH saw steady growth. New products were added to the collection, including scrunchies, Shark Tank challenge coins, gift cards, and additional styles of their signature bodysuits.

In the middle of 2024, short-sleeve bodysuits were listed for $33, and long-sleeve versions were priced at $44.

TORCH also launched new community programs like Club TORCH for brand ambassadors and began teasing its 2025 TORCH Tour.

In February 2024, Haley appeared on the Passing the TORCH podcast to talk about her journey from the military to Shark Tank.

Likewise, in May 2025, she was a guest speaker at Penn State’s LaunchBox Ladies event, encouraging young entrepreneurs.

She also created a virtual mentorship series called TORCHTalks, which drew over 200 signups, and partnered with Atlas Speakers to expand her impact as a public speaker.

Haley frequently shares inspiration and insights through her LinkedIn series #HaleyHack, where she talks about mindset, reinvention, and building a purpose-driven brand.

If you need a bodysuit built for women in uniform, you can shop their latest designs at their official website.

You can also follow them on Instagram for upcoming product drops.

We’ll share more when we have it in our next TORCH update.
