WHAT MAKES A GOOD SPORTS BRA?

Sports bras come in many different sizes, shapes, and designs, and finding the right bra for your particular needs is critical.  At Fleet Feet we invite you to do this in a comfortable environment with our knowledgeable sales staff to guide you.

The 3 key features of a great sports bra are

 

1.      Support

2.      Comfort

3.      Breathability  

 

SUPPORT

 

A sports bra is, for many women, their single most important piece of apparel.  Why?  Because the breasts are suspended by weak ligaments that can stretch easily with exercise.  The larger the size of your breasts and the greater the frequency of high impact exercises you choose to participate in,  are critical factors which both increase your potential for stretching or damaging these ligaments.  A bra with the right level of support minimizes the damage this impact can cause.

 

COMFORT

 

A good sports bra should feel comfortable on, stay in place, and not chafe. The straps should not dig into the shoulders and the band around the lower chest should not shift or bind.

 

To test comfort, try doing jumping jacks, running in place, and swinging your arms side to side to be sure you feel comfortable and supported when you're in motion. Keep in mind that 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.

  

BREATHABILITY

 

Breathability is all about staying cool and dry.  The technical fabrics in a good sports bra will wick sweat away from the skin, allowing it to dry quickly, and will be highly breathable, allowing body heat as well as perspiration to pass through. This kind of fabric technology keeps you cooler and drier when it's hot, and drier and warmer when it's cold.
