Ladies, I bet you'll agree when I say the humble sport bra is one of the most overlooked but most important pieces of women's sporting equipment! Compared to sports bras of old, the modern sport bra isn't the uncomfortable masher that it used to be. Bra companies have wised up and realized that we still need to breath to exercise, but we don't want to give up support: we want both! (& some nice colors, breathable fabric, comfy straps, and styles that don't require gymnastics to get in and out!)
Sport bras come in 2 basic styles: Compression and Encapsulation; some hi-tech bras utilize both techniques. The general rule is that for smaller sizes (A to C cup) a compression style bra is sufficient. For larger sizes (C to DD) encapsulation styles that separate and support are often more comfortable.
A good sport bra should fit more snugly than a lingerie bra to provide you with support, but should not be uncomfortable or restrict movement (or breathing). The bra should feel comfortable, stay in place, and not chafe. Make sure the straps don't dig into your shoulders and the band doesn't shift or bind. Fit varies with style and some bras may not feel right for you; we recommend that you try on a few. You'll get a feel for the variety of styles and fits that are available.
Our selection covers all of the bra bases. Styles from Under Armor with wicking fabric will keep you cool, CW-X's bras support (their compression/encapsulation system is one of the most supportive we've found - especially good for the larger busted crowd) and the ever-popular Moving Comfort bras come in soft fabrics and fantastic colors. Stop in and try all the options!
