What is a Sports Bra?
A bra worn during athletic activities that limits breast bounce. They are designed to support the breasts for the most effective and comfortable workouts. All sports bras have a sports level rating based on the level of activity from High Impact to Low Impact. High-impact sports bras will provide the most amount of support, making them perfect for running, while low-impact bras will offer light support that is best for activities like yoga or walking. Most sports bras will use encapsulation styling or compression to keep the breasts in place. They are commonly wireless, although some styles use underwire for better support and separation. Many sports bras will also take advantage of performance technology, like anti-odor tech, breathable fabrics, moisture wicking, or quick drying. Women should have a variety of sports bras with different impact levels if they do more than one sports activity.
Sports Bras
A must-have for the active woman
Sports bras for women have revolutionized the way they exercise! Wide straps, broad cup coverage and compression and encapsulation to minimize breast bounce provide support and comfort during exercise. You can choose the sports bra that's best for your activity level – low impact, medium impact or high impact – and the style that’s right for you – encapsulation, compression, or a combination of both.
There are several different styles of sports bras on the market and each have their own advantages. Learn more about them here so you can choose the right sports bra for your body type, personal preferences, and level of physical activity.
Key sports bra styles
Compression sports bras keep breast motion to a minimum by pressing the breasts firmly to the chest. This sports bra style is best suited for women with small cup sizes, but there are styles available to support larger cup size women as well.
Encapsulation sports bras provide more shaping than compression sports bras and give you a more natural breast shape. This style is very popular among women with a C cup or larger because it is more comfortable for them. Each breast sits inside its own pocket rather than being compressed against the chest. Some encapsulation sports bras made for plus sizes may also include an underwire for even more support.
Combination (compression and encapsulation) sports bras give you the ultimate support and the minimum amount of breast bounce during movement. The combination sports bra is a great option for high impact exercise.
Women's Sports bras are offered in several styles, including front close, pullover, racerbacks, underwire, seamless bras, convertible straps and more. Racerback underwire sports bras are an extremely popular style that lots of women love. They feature quick-dry fabrics that wick away moisture, anti-microbial materials and ultra-light mesh and spacer foam.
