Freedom of movement

No matter the activity you're doing, it's important that you feel free to move so that you can get the most out of your workout. That's what we had in mind when designing this sports bra. You'll love how the elastane in the fabric makes it even stretchier. The elastic underband also moves with you as you work out. Last but not least, we've opted to use thin, crossover straps to free up your shoulder blades.

The thin crossover straps sports bra keeps you dry! But how?

You're not afraid of working up a sweat when exercising. But you don't necessarily like how it leaves you feeling damp and sticky. What if we told you there was a bra that keeps you dry even during a serious workout? Impossible, you say? Not for Decathlon! For this bra, we've used a technical fabric that wicks moisture and dries quickly. The mesh on the back also makes it more breathable.

Adjustable straps

The adjustable straps at the back can adapt the bra to fit your body.

Protect your breasts during sport

Your breasts are mainly supported by skin. They’re particularly fragile during sports activities, where they're subjected to significant stresses and strains. These movements and bouncing can even make your breasts appear to weigh five times as much as normal, depending on the intensity of your activity. Wearing a sports bra provides support, keeps you comfortable and protects your breasts from impacts, thus preventing pain and premature sagging.

Design

Decathlon's sports bras are designed to maximize comfort and prevent health problems. The absence of underwiring removes the risk of injury and of compressing the lymph nodes. By getting rid of seams over the nipples, we reduce the risk of chafing. And by using fabrics that wick perspiration, we keep you comfortable while significantly reducing the risk of skin irritation.

Choosing the right size

It's essential to choose the right size of sports bra to keep your breasts supported and comfortable. Follow these steps: – Pick up a tape measure and stand in front of a mirror. – Hold your tape measure horizontally at the top of your back toward the bottom of your shoulder blades. – Bring the tape measure across the fullest part of your bust. – Measure without pulling the tape measure tight. – Use our online calculator for additional help.

High, medium, and light support

When you exercise, your breasts are put through stresses and strains that stretch the skin and ligaments. The absence of support increases the risk of pain or premature sagging. Conversely, too much support can cause damage in the long term. Wearing the right level of support for your cup size and the intensity of your activity is therefore essential. The aim is to protect your bust without altering natural breast movement.

Sports bra support levels offered by Decathlon

Our bras are put through a lab test that assesses the level of bust support. This test measures the reduction in the acceleration of the breasts' movement during a sports activity. Our bras are then assessed and categorized as follows: 1 for light support, 3 for medium support, and 5 for high support.

Different levels of support for different sports

The level of support needed will depend on the type of activity you're doing. We offer three levels of support: – Level 1: light support for low-impact activities (e.g., Pilates, stretching, strength training). – Level 3: medium support for moderate-impact activities (e.g., dancing, fitness, cardio training). – Level 5: high support for high-impact activities (e.g., step aerobics, running, trampolining).

Care

This sports bra is designed for intensive use. We recommend that you remove the foam cups before washing and wash everything in our laundry bag, sold separately (ref. 8505236). Wash at no more than 30°C. Use liquid detergent rather than powder, and do not use softeners as they could affect the fabric's breathability. We advise against using a tumble dryer.
