What it does
A high-support sports bra designed to minimize breast movement during running and high-impact activities.
- Seamless inner lining to reduce rubbing and chafing
- Wide padded adjustable non-slip straps
- Reflective tape across cups for visibility
- Moisture-wicking and breathable fabric
- Double hook closure at the back for extra stability
Ideal for women with medium to large busts seeking maximum bounce reduction. The main trade-off is a higher price point and a fastening system that can be difficult to operate alone.

Questions
How should I choose my size?
It is recommended to go up one band size from your normal bra size, as the product tends to run small.
How do I make putting on the bra easier?
Fasten both back clasps before putting the bra over the head.
How should the bra be washed?
Hand wash or use a lingerie bag on a cool machine cycle to preserve the elastic.
How often should the bra be replaced?
Typically every 6 to 12 months of regular training use, or when straps stretch.
