What are the advantages of this racerback bra?

You put this bra on easily over your head. It has no cups or pads for a comfortable, close-fitting effect. The racerback allows you to free your shoulders while ensuring support, which promotes your freedom of movement and reduces discomfort during exercise.

What sporting activities is this light support bra suitable for?

The light support racerback bra is ideal for low-impact sports, such as Pilates, stretching, weight training, yoga, walking, golf, etc. For higher-impact sports, opt for medium support (gym, dance, hiking, cycling) or higher support (running, handball, horse riding, badminton, etc.).

How does the lightweight support racerback bra keep us dry?

Whatever your sport, sweating is part of the game. However, it is not always pleasant to feel wet during or after exercise. This is why we designed a bra capable of wicking away perspiration. It's not magic, just technique. The synthetic fabric that it is made of is, in fact, breathable and dries quickly. This will keep you dry throughout your workout.

What are the pads that can be added to the light support racerback bra for?

This sports bra features soft cups without underwire. You can insert foam pads if desired through the openings provided on the model. These pads serve several purposes. They provide additional support and add comfort to the bra by better covering the bust. They also offer additional protection against shocks. In terms of aesthetics, they ensure a beautiful curve to the bust.

How to maintain the light support racerback bra?

Designed for sports use, this bra can be washed and rewashed. Wash it at 30° max., delicate cycle, with similar colors and put it in our laundry bag (ref. 8505236 sold separately). Use liquid detergent rather than powder detergent and avoid fabric softeners. This could affect the breathability of the fabrics. Do not tumble dry.

Strong, medium or weak hold, how to choose?

During sports, the stresses stretch the skin and ligaments of the chest. Without sufficient support, you risk pain or premature sagging. However, too much maintenance can also be harmful in the long term. It is therefore necessary to adapt the level of support of your bra to the size of your cup and the intensity of the impacts suffered. The goal is to protect your chest without changing the natural movement of the breast.

What are the support levels of Decathlon sports bras?

The models are validated in our laboratories using a chest support test which measures the reduction in the acceleration of breast movement during sports practice. They are evaluated then classified: 1 for light support, 3 for medium support and 5 for strong support.

What level of bra support for which sport?

The support of the bra must be adapted to the sport practiced. Our range has 3 levels: - Level 1: light support for activities that produce gentle chest movements (Pilates, stretching, muscle strengthening, etc.); - Level 3: medium support for activities that cause moderate bouncing (dance, fitness, cardio training, etc.); - Level 5: strong support for activities associated with intense movements (step, treadmill, trampoline, etc.).

How to find the right size for your sports bra?

A bra size that fits your body shape ensures support and comfort for your chest. To choose it, take a tape measure and measure your chest circumference (without a bra): - stand in front of a mirror; - hold the tape horizontally, at the top of your back, on the lower part of your shoulder blades; - pass the tape over the end of your chest; - take the measurement without tightening; - do not hesitate to use our online calculator.
