Best Sports Bra For High Impact Exercise – Crossfit, HIIT, Zumba, & Running

Sports bra, top, tank. So many descriptions to a very desirable clothing item. When we train we not only wanna feel good but wanna look good as well. Activewear can be pretty expensive (especially the high material quality brands) but if we pick the fitted item for our needs we will get great value for our buck and will not need as many as we think. It is not about the quantity but the quality. 

Things To Look For In A Sports Bra For High Impact Exercise

Bras purchase for high impact exercise should include the following parameters:

1. Fabric – breathable, Quick dry, comfortable
2. Good density and long duration
3. Size – not too small not too big 
4. Design – suits our body structure, need and taste. The style matters too.
5. Fit for the activity we practice.

So all in all the best high-impact sports bra will reflect both our desire and needs. Something that we can wear for hours and feel comfortable in, that will last long with low wear and tear, breathable and designed for our taste as we wear more what we like and feel good in.

As an owner of multiple bra brands, colors and designs I came to realize that this enormous info can serve so many people around the world and not only can contribute to a successful purchase but can also save you from spending so much money as I have simply by knowing how to define your actual needs better for high impact exercise and where to purchase from. A smart person learns from other’s mistakes. Pleasure to meet you, I am the mistake well learnt.

Remember, If you buy smart, you do not need to buy a lot!

Most useful types, brands, designs for high impact exercise bras are:

Reebok Best High Impact Sports Bras 

Reebok my lovely… wonderful brand with wonderful products. 

After 4 years of tight relations, I can surely confirm that their sports bras are pretty fabulous. Breathable fabrics, comfortable design, vivid and trendy colors and stay preserved for years even when washed in a washing machine – good quality good condition (and I train A LOT). Thumb up for durability.

Reebok Women’s Puremove Sports Bra

Pros:

• Breathable fabric and lightweight material
• Dry and cool through the workout
• High impact support with motion sense tech that reacts to your movements for maximum support and comfort 
• Comfortable and efficient design for high performance. Great for all types of activities such as running, training and everyday wear.
• Machine washable 

Cons :

• Doesn’t come in as many colors as I wish for… yet

Conclusion: An excellent product. Maybe even one of my favorites. Super comfortable breathing bra with firm support whilst comfortable pre and post-training while training. Dries fast, smells good even after workout, and can be used underneath sportswear or as a stand-alone top as pretty and has its schick. Highly recommended.

Pros:

• Speedwick Technology – Sweat and dries fast
• Lightweight and breathable
• Removable bra pads – enable flexibility in design, shape and personal preferences

Cons:

• Thin back strips might provide less support to bigger breasts.

Conclusion: Good product. Very very pretty. The upper front cover is so elegant and contributes to an athletic look. As for the bra pads, I personally don’t use them but it depends on size and biological structure. I have a friend who can’t train without them. Anyway, they are removable so I’ll leave it to you. Must bare in mind-big bubbies might encounter difficulty with that bra as it can feel less supportive due to thin back straps. Other than that, beautiful and good to go.

• Lightweight and moisture-wicking fabric leaves you dry even on a hot day

Cons:

• Thin strips can (but not necessarily) be less supportive to some

Conclusion: All in all Good product as its siblings. I am less experienced with that specific model but again, Reebok is Reebok and in the bra department they have never failed me. Also here larger breasts might encounter difficulty with getting the support wished for due to what I call  back “spaghetti strips”.

Pros: 

• Power mesh lining for extra compression and support
• V-neck
• Y-back

Cons:

• Weirdly shaped breasts in some cases

On a personal note…

Yes… we made it. I have always looked at my activewear wardrobe (very proudly must say) and wondered if that day will come, that I’ll have the ability, mojo, and knowledge to fly high to the sky with you darlings, and review this fabulous wonderbra’s world of ours, strong women. 

Bare in mind my lovelies that you are indeed most epically beautiful when you are comfortable. Something about being and feeling as close to nature as possible gives us this extra sparkle, added value, and magical appearance of the magnificent being we are. 

With the right bra comes the right workout and with the right workout comes wellbeing.

Till next time xoxo
