Women's High Support Double Layer Zipped Bra - Black

The high degree of support provided by this sports bra is suitable for all sports with high impacts on the chest: running, horse riding, trampolining, etc.The new design features in this sports bra enhance its support. With two layers, this bra offers dual back support. The second layer of the bra has an elasticated reinforcement strip located below the chest. Perfect for fuller breasts.

Firstly, we chose a stretchy, elastane-based material.The sports bra is more elastic and will accompany your every move, preventing discomfort. We also designed a racerback to free up the shoulder blades and thus your arm movements.

We designed this sports bra with a front zip to make it easier to put on and take off. So, you can put it on as easily as a jacket. Fasteners below the zip should also make it easy to adjust the bra to the right size of back circumference. Lastly, to ensure shoulder comfort, the straps are also adjusted from the front. The front adjustment points make this sports bra easier to use for athletes with arm mobility issues.

During sports, your bust, fragile and mainly supported by the skin, is exposed to more intense stresses than usual. No matter how your cup size or age, your breasts will move and bounce. They may have to support up to 5 times their weight depending on the intensity of the activity. The sports bra offers the necessary support, comfort and protection. It protects the chest from impact, pain and premature sagging.

During exercise, the breasts experience forces that stretch the skin and ligaments of the chest. Without support, the risks of pain or premature sagging are greater. Conversely, excessive support can also cause long-term damage. Adjusting the level of support of your sports bra according to your cup size and the intensity of the impact experienced is therefore essential. The goal is to protect the chest without compromising breast movement.

The models are tested in our laboratories using a bust support test that measures the reduction of the acceleration of breast movement during sports activities. They are evaluated, then ranked: 1 for light support, 3 for moderate support and 5 for high support.

The bra support should be adjusted to the of the sports activity. Our range has 3 distinct levels:- Level 1:light support for activities involving gentle chest movements (Pilates, stretching, muscle strengthening, etc.);- Level 3: Medium support for activities that cause moderate bouncing (dance, fitness, cardio-training, etc.);- Level 5: high support for activities involving vigorous movements (steps, treadmill, trampolining, etc.).

Ensuring bust support and comfort requires choosing a bra size that is suited to your body shape. To choose the right size, just follow these simple steps:- Stand in front of a mirror with a tape measure;- Place it horizontally at the top of your back, on the lower part of your shoulder blades;- Bring the tape over the fullest part of your chest;- Record the measurement without pulling the tape measure tight;You can also use our online calculator for optimal accuracy.
