We’ve looked at Amazon best sellers, as well as at best-selling bras from specialty retailers HerRoom and Bare Necessities. In addition, we’ve consulted the bra-enthusiast subreddit /r/ABraThatFits, combing through posts and posting to inquire about people’s favorite bras. We’ve looked at all the bras mentioned in more than 30 roundups-from Outside Online to Runner’s World to Bustle to The Cut to Buzzfeed to Women’s Running-to compare features based on the criteria outlined above, as well as cost and availability. We consulted Jenny Burbage, PhD, principal lecturer in biomechanics at the University of Portsmouth Minyoung Suh, PhD, associate professor at the College of Textiles at North Carolina State University Lori Wahl, apparel, textiles, and design instructor at the University of Idaho’s School of Family and Consumer Sciences activewear designer Marissa Borelli LaJean Lawson, PhD, a longtime consultant to sports bra makers, including Champion Min Zhu, PhD, an assistant professor of textile development and marketing at the Fashion Institute of Technology Holly Powell, owner of The Pencil Test in Portland, Oregon Iris Clarke, owner of Iris Lingerie in Brooklyn, New York Mara Osborne, a representative of Enell, a brand that specializes in larger bra sizes and Susie Macpherson, a fit expert at Panache at the time of our interview.Įvery round, we choose bras to call in after reading all of the most recent editorial articles and reviews of sports bras we can find. To determine what makes a good sports bra, we spoke with eight experts ranging from breast-biomechanics researchers and sports bra consultants to specialty lingerie shop owners, sportswear designers, and textile scientists.

The bra comes in 10 sizes (XSmall to 6Luxe) although SheFit’s proprietary sizing might result in more trial and error when it comes to finding the right fit, our testers all got it right on their first try.īand size range: 22 to 49½ (circumferences, which don’t necessarily align with traditional band sizes be sure to consult the size chart and fit tips) Cup size range: A to I Strap style: convertible crossback (front-zipper closure) The lined, wireless cups are comfortable and supportive, though the external contoured support seams don’t provide quite as smooth of a line under shirts as those some of the other bras we tried. Despite its complex construction, the bra moves with the body and feels lighter than its initial look lets on. The SheFit is a combination bra (it uses both encapsulation and compression to reduce breast movement), and customizable adjustability is the name of its game: The inch-wide shoulder straps adjust at the front with Velcro, the band adjusts at the back with Velcro, and two internal hook-and-eye clasps bolster the front-zipper closure.
The SheFit Ultimate Sports Bra is not subtle-one tester called it a “contraption masquerading as a sports bra”-but it wowed those who tried it with its ability to keep breast movement at bay.
