Functional sports bras for running, yoga, climbing and fitness

sports bra

A sports bra is one of the most important pieces of clothing for female runners and climbers. A normal bra for everyday wear is not designed for sports and therefore doesn't provide the necessary support. A sports bra, on the other hand, provides support, prevents breast pain and keeps the tissue firmer in the long run.

Stylish sports bras from Kari Traa, Mandala, Röhnisch or triaction by Triumph come in different cup sizes and with different band widths. Some models have padded cups, removable cups or even no extra padding at all.

Supportive, comfortable and breathable sports bras

Depending on the sports bra, support and breathability can vary. Mesh fabrics provide great moisture management and let the air in. A mesh panel between the cups and a wide cut back provide breathability during sports, cross training and running.

Unlike everyday bras, a sports bra has wide straps with flat seams that sit very comfortably. They also have a wide band to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.

Depending on the activity and your body type, you can choose between sports bras with light, medium or high-impact support. How much support a reliable sports bra should provide depends on your preference. Generally though, the larger the bust size and the more movement-intensive the activity, the more support you'll need.

Stylish sports bras with a racerback and a front zip

Sports bras are great for doing yoga, climbing and trail running thanks to their comfort and support. There are many colours to choose from. Sometimes, outdoor and sports manufacturers offer practical features that not only add style, but also enhance comfort and improve handling.

For example, a front closure is a great option if you don't like models with hook closures at the back or no closure at all. Another feature includes a well-ventilated racerback, which guarantees maximum freedom of movement and extra ventilation when climbing and doing other sports. You can also wear it with a nice sports top to help your performance.
