FAQs

What type of activities is this bra best suited for?

This high-performance sports bra is recommended for medium to high-impact activities such as running, gym workouts, and cross-training due to its supportive underwire and full-cup coverage.

How do I convert the straps to a racerback?

Locate the J-hook on the back of the straps and connect it to the corresponding loop on the opposite strap to create a racerback style.

Can I machine wash this sports bra?

No, this sports bra is recommended for hand wash only to maintain its shape, support, and material integrity.

What is the material composition?

The fabric composition is 23% Polyamide, 16% Elastane, and 61% other materials.

Does the underwire provide comfort?

The bra features padded silicone underwiring designed for added comfort and support. However, individual comfort with underwire can vary.

What does 'average coverage' mean for this bra?

Average coverage means the bra cups cover most of the breast, providing good containment for activity, but may not fully enclose very large busts or offer the maximum encapsulation of a full-support design.

What are the benefits of the breathable molded cups?

The breathable molded cups help to keep you cool and dry by allowing air to circulate, reducing moisture build-up during exercise.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the straps using the adjusters or try a different hook-and-eye fastening. If the issue persists, consider if you have the correct band and cup size.

Straps dig into shoulders

Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly. If using the racerback option, ensure it is properly fastened. Check if the band size is appropriate; a band that is too loose can cause straps to dig in.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure the bra is the correct size. The underwire should cup the breast tissue smoothly. If discomfort persists, this style of bra with underwire may not be suitable for your preference.

Reduced support over time

Ensure the bra is being hand washed according to instructions and not exposed to high heat. Over time, elastic can degrade with improper care, reducing support.
