How is the bra’s support measured? (Level 3 on a scale from 1 to 5)
On a scale of 1 to 5, this sports bra was rated a 3 for support. It is suitable for all medium-impact sports. The MT 500 Hiking Bra reduces chest bounce by 29.8%. All our products are validated in our laboratories using our bust support test (measures the reduction in bust movement). Sports bras are evaluated and classified from 1 (low support) to 5 (high support).
How to choose the right size
This merino wool bra is available in the following sizes: XS, S, M, L, and XL. It measures on the smaller side, so if you are deciding between two sizes, we recommend choosing the next size up. For help choosing the correct size, click on “Size guide” (top right of the page).
What type of support does my merino wool bra offer?
You wear your hiking and sports bra for several hours a day. This bra should therefore offer overall support rather than compression support. This provides good chest protection while offering freedom of movement. We focused on designing adequate bust support without adding tension to the neck muscles (trapezoids).
Eco-designed padding
We used an innovative process to design the removable pads. The pads are made using an equal mix of scraps from the bra manufacture and polyester fibre.
How do I wash my merino wool bra?
We recommend machine washing your MT 500 Hiking Bra at 30°C on a normal cycle using liquid detergent. Dry flat. Never tumble dry. For more information: https://www.decathlon.com/blogs/how-to-maintain-repair/how-to-maintain-a-merino-wool-garment
Tip before use
For hygiene reasons and to soften fabric, wash before first use.

What a great merino bra! I love you can adjust the straps and the back (like a real bra) and it offers very good support. It does run small however. I am usually a small or medium and had to get a large. I believe when I used the size guide it did suggest the correct size for
me though. Overall very comfortable and very nice quality!

Pros: soft fabric Cons: way too small Based on reviews, I had a good feeling that I would love them. BUT.... Way too small... I used sizing guide on the product page and it suggested medium. I normally wear medium so I had no question about the suggestion. I just got them
delivered today and man oh man, it is very small. You can easily tell by a look of it. I even hoped smaller size was packed by mistake but no, it is medium. I don't even know what size I should get now. Large may be still too small...? I tired on hoping it would nicely stretches but all it did was dig in to my body - shoulders and under breast. They only accept exchange in person and I live far from any of their retail stores. It is very disappointing I need to pay whatever the fee they'll charge for returns and still unsure next size up is big enough for me...

I love this bra!!! Even though it does run small in my opinion, it gets 5 stars from me. I wore it on a 3-day hiking trip where I got SWEATY, and it smelled fresh, like I'd never worn it, when I got back! I decided to test how long I could go without washing lol. I went two we
eks wearing it everyday to work (outdoors physical labour), and it still smelled better than another sports bra I have after one day of wearing, haha. I'm sold.

Comfortable for low impact activities. Was great for a 5 day backpacking trip since it dries quickly and doesn’t stink too much.

Loose around band, not enough volume for breasts but okay for lounging. I need a model with band and cup sizes but hard to find in merino.
