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.
