Women's Sports Bras

The sports bra & the sports bra: a must-have for your chest

Lightweight, breathable, flexible, and sometimes seamless, technical underwear is an integral part of the outdoor gear for adventurers and athletes. What could be more uncomfortable than wearing underwear that itches inside, makes you sweat excessively because it’s too thick, or when the seams bother you? Designed specifically for outdoor sports, sports bras and technical bras will manage to be invisible yet no less essential. Whether it’s for running the UTMB or the Paris Marathon, for a hike in the Sancy or a trek at altitude, your women's sports bras or sports bras will be part of the foundation of your gear. And for good reason: intense physical activity requires a good support for sensitive areas, which your sports underwear protects. Running, walking, hiking, or skiing for several hours requires good support to avoid discomfort. A technical underwear specially made for outdoor sports offers perfect muscular and organic support. For a woman, running constitutes a significant trauma for the chest, so it is essential to take care of it, as any degradation is irreversible! You’ll understand, taking care of your body involves using women's sports bras or sports bras that are worthy of the name. Fortunately, there is no shortage of choices: from Nike to Anita, including Shock Absorber and Under Armour, all tastes and colours are possible when it comes to sports bras. In addition to being useful, it will also be a true component of your sports outfit. Who said you couldn’t combine the useful with the pleasant?

Sports bras adapted to your sporting practice

Running Bras

Did you know that your chest could bounce up to 14 cm during intensive sports activity? Did you also know that there are no muscles in your chest? This means it is particularly fragile: support is provided only by the skin and ligaments. Thus, even the smallest breasts cannot withstand this bouncing for long! To avoid such problems, many brands offer firm support sports bras, or even extreme support sports bras (or women's sports bras with extreme support). Also, there is no best sports bra overall, but there is the best sports bra for your practice and needs. For running, which is subject to high impacts, a high support sports bra is therefore essential.

Crossfit Sports Bras

The same goes for crossfit, which requires a strong support sports bra or a bra with intense support. And for good reason: crossfit is a sport subject to many impacts, so crossfit sports bras are relatively similar to running bras.

Hiking Bras

Somewhat less intense, a good support bra will be sufficient for hiking. There is no need to invest in an ultra-technical sports bra: you can opt for a women's sports bra that is a bit more comfortable, with medium to firm support.

Yoga Bras

Finally, for a practice such as yoga or fitness, which is much gentler, a sports bra offering low support is ideal. Much lighter, breathable, and comfortable, your yoga bra offers all possibilities. All styles are allowed!

Plus Size Sports Bras

A thorny subject for many athletes with generous chests, plus size sports bras are increasingly numerous on the market today. More technical, they are designed so that generous breasts can also be perfectly supported, regardless of the sporting practice you have. You can also find plus size women's sports bras: it’s up to you to choose according to your preference!

Firm Support Sports Bras

Like Shock Absorber, many brands have understood the importance of offering firm support sports bras to help women practice their favourite sport without feeling pain or discomfort. Moreover, sports bras are generally more suited to larger breasts, as they offer greater support by perfectly hugging the chest. However, women's sports bras are not without interest either!

How to choose your sports bra?

You’ll understand, several criteria come into play when choosing your women's sports bra. The main ones are as follows: your cup size, the type of support depending on your practice, the type of straps, the material (moisture-wicking if possible), and the thickness. Discover all our detailed tips for choosing your sports bra well, thanks to our dedicated article!

When should you change your sports bra?

A misshapen underwire, broken clasps, frayed fabric: it’s high time to change your women's sports bra! According to several studies, it is recommended to replace your sports bra approximately every year, especially if you have regular sporting practice.
