FAQs
Is this bra suitable for yoga or Pilates?
While it can be worn for any activity, it is specifically designed for high-impact running and may feel more restrictive than necessary for low-impact sports.
How do I determine my size?
We recommend professional fitting or measuring your under-bust and the fullest part of your bust to ensure a match with our size guide.
Can I put this bra in the tumble dryer?
No, heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic components and technical fabric, significantly reducing the bra's lifespan.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the straps are wide and padded with adjustability to ensure a secure, customized fit.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, it is made from moisture-wicking, breathable sports performance fabric to help keep you dry.
Why is there a full back opening?
The full back opening allows for easy on and off, which is particularly helpful after an intense workout when the fabric may be damp.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel like they are digging into the shoulders
Adjust the length of the straps for better weight distribution and ensure the band size is correct.
Chafing occurs during long runs
Ensure the bra is positioned correctly and use an anti-chafing balm on common friction points if necessary.
Excessive movement during activity
Verify that the band is sitting firmly against the ribcage and that the back closure is fully engaged.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces breast bounce during running
- Prevents chafing with a soft, seamless inner construction
- Wide padded straps provide comfort and prevent digging
- High-visibility reflective elements for evening runs
- Durable moisture-wicking fabric for intense workouts
Cons
- Supportive structure can feel quite firm for new users
- Requires careful fitting to ensure the support system works as intended
- Limited fashion-forward styling compared to low-impact leisure bras
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, it is vital to select the correct band and cup size, as the structure is non-negotiable for high-impact support. When putting on the bra, ensure the back hooks are secure and the straps are tightened to a point where they are snug but not cutting into the skin.
Care Instructions:
- Always hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with a laundry bag.
- Do not use fabric softener, as this can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers.
- Air dry the bra away from direct heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the band and straps.
- Inspect the hooks regularly to ensure they remain secure after repeated cycles of high-intensity movement.
