Product Description:
After feeling uncomfortable in our sport top/bras (synthetic and Cotton) we felt the need to develop seamless wool garments. This was not easy and took a long time to perfect. Starting with our softest 17.5 micron wool, we added a little spandex, engineered stitching specifically mapped on each garment for comfort and support (body mapping). There are minimal seams in the process. All pieces have been tested and proven in every weather condition with rave reviews. We are extremely excited about these innovative and exclusive pieces. The Sport Bra fit is best for A, B and C cups in medium-to-low impact activities. Machine washable.

ISIS Women's C/D Sport Bra Review

ISIS Women's C/D Sport Bra
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This sport bra has lots of great comfortable features, super soft and super wide straps, cozy and substantial fabric; excellent support during high impact activities, such as trail running.The band around the rib cage is just a little long for a petite torso so it tends to flip up. This does not affect performance, but it does cause a little discomfort.My guess is that this would not be an issue on a regular or long torso build.

Product Description:
We know that large-chested women have a hard time finding good support for high-impact activities like running. So we built this new bra using both an inner compression shelf and cups, which gives you the needed support without the uni-boob look. Of course, all the other details that you would expect from ISIS are there to ensure comfort no matter how hard you are working out.

CW-X Women's Ultra Support Running Bra Review

CW-X Women's Ultra Support Running Bra
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a 36DD, and I'm training for a marathon. I've gone through so many Champion and Moving Comfort bras looking for the perfect non-chaffing, supportive fit. I finally broke down and decided to splurge on this one after two recent failed attempts on my long runs with two different Champion bras that felt fine for the first few miles but didn't feel so great for the last miles. This bra provides great support with the comfort of no poking underwires and incredibly silky material. It is defintely worth the extra money. I also love that I don't have to wriggle it over my head then reach around the back to get it fastened.

Click Here to see more reviews about: CW-X Women's Ultra Support Running Bra

Product Description:
Made for larger cup sizes (up to 42DD), the Ultra Support Bra combines support with adjustability, so you can wear it during high-impact workouts or everyday activity. Fully adjustable back and shoulder hook-clasp closures offer 18 different combinations, so you can personalize the fit.
The patented five-point Targeted Support Web built into each cup creates a suspension system for motion control. Coolmax/Lycra tricot fabric with Healtha+ mesh front panels provide moisture wicking and breathability for added comfort.



Features include a wide, reinforced stretch band for extra support; a stretch-support webbing liner in the back; and padded support inserts in shoulder straps.Fabrics
The bra features a stretch mesh internal venting channel under the bust for breathability and moisture evaporation.

About Lycra and Coolmax
The genius at the heart of CW-X is an obedience to the structure of the body, made possible by two extraordinary fibers: Lycra and Coolmax. Coolmax moves moisture instantaneously from the body out to the fabric's outer surface, where it evaporates at twice the speed of cotton. So with CW-X Conditioning Wear, you remain cool at even the highest temperatures. When less energy goes toward cooling the body, more energy is left to help you excel. Lycra, on the other hand, possesses the unique ability to stretch yet retain its shape.

About Healtha+
Healtha+ is a multifunctional, lightweight, quick-dry fabric developed by Ventex. Nanotechnology has been used in the development of Healtha+, which consists of 90 percent polyester and 10 percent spandex yarns. This combination provides a comfortable fit and freedom of movement, as well as quick-dry moisture wicking capabilities.The six-channel shape of Healtha+ fibers results in a capillary action pulling the sweat away from the skin's surface to the exterior of the fabric. Healtha+ yarn's wide surface area is also an intrinsic advantage over regular fibers. A wider surface area allows for greater moisture evaporation. This makes Healtha+ one of the fastest-drying textiles available.Healtha+ is also antibacterial and odorless through the application of silver dioxide fiber technology, preserving garment freshness. Integrated titanium oxide fiber technology protects against ultraviolet rays, providing UPF 50+.

About CW-X Gear Technology
For 40 years, scientists at Wacoal Human Science Research Center in Kyoto, Japan, have studied kinesiology, the science of human movement. They have tested over 35,000 people and analyzed injuries relative to warm-up and cool-down periods. They have come to understand the mechanics of joints and muscles in minute detail. This exhaustive study of body movement has culminated in over 50 patents worldwide.Below are some further studies demonstrating the performance-enhancing qualities of CW-X Conditioning Wear.Human Science Research Center, Kyoto, Japan: Study of electrical pulse activity in muscles
Muscles firing into motion were measured electromyographically for subjects wearing CW-X gear, subjects wearing competitor products, and subjects with bare legs. Electrical pulse activity decreased in unsupported and partly supported legs during exercise, indicative of fatigue. Legs supported by CW-X showed a negligible decrease in electrical pulse activity.



Human Science Research Center, Kyoto, Japan: Study of stability, impact, and motion
In this study, high-speed video analysis was used to compare stability, impact, and motion in CW-X products and regular compression gear. CW-X Support Web tights were 10 percent more stable and balanced and absorbed 12 percent more shock to the knee than regular compression tights. CW-X Support Web tops allowed 9 percent greater range of motion for the arm than regular compression tops.

University of Montpelier, France: Study of VO2 oxygen uptake levels
This study measured VO2 oxygen uptake levels over the course of 15 minutes of running in CW-X gear, regular compression tights, and running shorts. CW-X Support Web tights showed 26 percent less oxygen use than regular compression tights and 36 percent less oxygen use than traditional running shorts, indicating lower energy expenditure.About CW-X

Polar Cardio Sports Bra Review

Polar Cardio Sports Bra
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Update: After owning two of these sports bras for over four months, I have found myself wearing the chest strap instead of the bras for about half of my workouts.I reduced my original rating of five stars to four stars since the sports bras tend to rise up a bit during rigorous exercise (e.g. boot camp, body combat), and the sensors don't stay against my chest when doing floor exercises (e.g. situps).The sports bras are ideal for cycling and working out on the elliptical machine, since my upper body is stationary for the most part.

Original Review: I love not having to wear a chest strap!I needed a 34D, so I purchased a large.The large was too big around my rib cage and didn't keep a consistent heart rate connection.The large is definitely true to size, as it is advertised as 36".I had the closure taken in 2" at the tailor.I ordered a medium, and it fits well.My WearLink transmitter, which came with my Polar F11 heart rate monitor, snaps in perfectly, and I have not had any problems keeping a reliable heart rate reading.The equipment at the gym also picks up the transmitter signal, which is nice.I have recommended this product to friends.

Product Description:
Do away with uncomfortable chest straps and measure your heart rate the easy way with the Polar Cardio sports bra. Designed to work with the Polar Wearlink transmitter, Polar training computers, and other heart-rate-compatible equipment (all sold separately), the Polar sports bra allows you to incorporate the device directly into the garment by attaching it to the bra with the built-in snaps. In addition, the bra is extremely comfortable, with no-slip shoulder straps, flat seams that minimize chaffing, an adjustable back closure, and a polyester/Spandex fabric blend that wicks away moisture as you exercise. Designed to offer high-impact support for A, B, and C cup wearers--with a seamless cup that's notably smooth under the shirt--the Polar sports bra is even machine-washable.
About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.

Champion Women's Seamless Racerback Sports Bra Review

Champion Women's Seamless Racerback Sports Bra
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own at least 5 different styles of fitness bras from Champion.This style is a compression racerback.What that means is that it is designed to compress your breasts to your chest, but it does not have underwire support or any separation via two cups.It's basically a way to strap your breasts down!

The racerback style allows for freedom of movement for the shoulders which I find very helpful when I'm doing a strength-training workout of my back and shoulders.This bra doesn't have a hook-eye closure however, and thus must be pulled over your head like a t-shirt... a very tight t-shirt!

Comfortable fabric doesn't bind - it stays in place, but it does soak up the sweat.Peeling this off after a workout is a struggle, but that's very common with these types of bras. A wide band underneath the breasts is snug, but not too tight.

If you're large breasted, this type of bra might not be for you.I have 'C' cups with a 40" chest at its thickest point.That seems about as much as this bra is built to handle. I wouldn't choose this bra to jog in, but would use it in the weight room or while using an elliptical trainer.

Overall, it's not a bad buy for the price, but it's not the best one out there either.

For the best fit take two measurements with your regular bra on: 1. Around the fullest part of the bust. 2. Around the rib cage directly under the breasts.
