Criteria Used for Evaluation
Breathability
As we go through our list we're looking primarily for support and comfort, and in these days of HIIT workouts, and hot yoga finding a breathable sports bra isn't just a nice addition it's a necessity. The amount of sweating and working that we're all doing in the gym makes breathable fabrics a necessity on every part of our body but particularly in the bust area. So we've got you covered, literally as we're focusing on breathable fabrics.
Comfort
We're keeping an eye on sports bras that keep their eye on the ball when it comes to sizing because no one likes getting a product that is too tight or just not doing it supports job because it's too loose. So we're putting a premium on comfort in our choices, and the best way to ensure comfort is looking for that perfect combination of sizing and support. And the fabrics of today are more than capable of providing both but we're putting them all to the test.
Fit
Goes without saying that if the product doesn't fit right then it's doing no good. And these days, size being what it is, we're checking to make sure the sizings are accurate and the fit is loose where it needs to be and supportive where it needs to be as well. We're also aware that the amount of support you need is based in part on the work you're doing, and you should think about that as well. If you're a runner, then you're going to need a lot of support and that's going to have a big impact on what you need. If you're a walker or doing a less impact heavy workout we'll try to find the bra for you as well.
Materials
There are so many different fabrics to choose from these days, finding the ones that work best are a challenge even to us who do this all day. But that being said, we're doing our best to stay on top of all the different blends of manufactured fabrics, as well as a variation on the themes of good old cotton and wool. We're looking for the perfect combination of breathability, comfort, wickability, and style.
Style
With the 'times a changing' we're very aware that the word sports bra is a bit anachronistic, and sports top is more and more common the way to go. We know that the ladies aren't thinking of their sports bras as something that should be hidden under T-shirts, these days we're assuming the top is the only covering you need in a gym, so we're making sure that you're going to get the support and comfort you need, but also look great getting it.
