How can you stay dry with the zip-up sports bra?
To feel good while you work out, you need to make sure your outfit is comfy.And for us, staying dry even when you're exerting yourself is part of the definition of comfort.
We've opted for a fabric that wicks away perspiration and dries quickly. So you can exert yourself as much as you like. You'll stay dry throughout your workout.
What makes this zipped sports bra particularly comfy?
We've added what's needed to this sports bra to give it maximum comfort. The length of the sports bra means that the chest is fully covered and protected during sport. The built-in pads and the elasticity of the fabrics make the bra more comfy to wear.
We've also opted for glued seams with flat finishes for greater comfort, especially when lying down. This also reduces chafing.
How can you be sure that the front zip won't open while you work out?
For a sports bra that's easy to put on and take off, we've included a front zip. Rest assured, it's self-locking.So it can't open while you work out.
Our advice for optimum use of the zip:zip up and press the slider to lock the zip.
Why is it important to protect your breasts during exercise?
While exercising, your breasts, which are fragile and supported almost exclusively by skin, experience much more stress than in everyday life. No matter your cup size or age, they're subjected to movements and bouncing that can create a force of up to five times their weight. Wearing a sports bra offers the support, comfort and protection your breasts need. It protects your chest from impacts, pain and premature sagging.
What are the support levels offered by Decathlon's sports bras?
Our bras are tested in our labs using a breast support test that measures the decrease in the breasts' acceleration during sports. They are then rated on a scale of 1 to 5: 1 for light support, 3 for medium support and 5 for high support.
Which level of support do you need for which activity?
Your bra's level of support should be suitable for the activity you're doing. Our range consists of three levels:
- Level 1: light support for activities that cause gentle breast movement (yoga, Pilates, stretching, strength training, golf, walking)
- Level 3: medium support for activities that cause a moderate level of bounce (cycling, dance, fitness, cardio training)
- Level 5: high support for activities involving intensive movements (hiit, running, tennis, team sports, horse riding).
