Women's Long Zip-Up Sports Bra Medium Support - Black

How are Decathlon's sports bras designed?

Decathlon sports bras are created by our team of experts, to optimise your level of comfort and avoid health problems. We do not use underwires to prevent the risk of injury and compression of the lymph nodes. We minimise the seams around the nipples to reduce chafing. We also use components that wick away perspiration to guarantee your comfort and considerably reduce the risks of irritation.

How can you be sure the zip won't open?

To make a sports bra that's easy to put on and take off, we added a front zip. But rest assured that it's a locking zip. This means you don't have to worry about it coming open during your workouts.

Our advice for using this zip: close the zip and press the tab to lock it.

How do you choose the right size sports bra?

The right size sports bra will give you the right amount of support you need. When choosing your size, be sure to refer to our online size guide (just above the size selection box).

How should you care for your zip-up sports bra?

This sports bra was designed for intense use and repeated washing. We recommend washing at 30°C or below and using a mesh bag (sold separately, ref. 8505236).

Use liquid detergent rather than a powder, and do not use softeners. Softeners can make the fabric less breathable.

Do not tumble dry.

What kinds of activities is the support level of this zip-up sports bra good for?

This sports bra offers medium support. It is suited to all moderate-impact activities: cycling, hiking, gym, dance, roller-skating, skiing etc.

What level of support do you need in a sports bra?

The level of support offered by the sports bra should be appropriate to the sport. Our range has three levels:

- Level 1: light support for activities that produce gentle movements of the bust (Yoga, Pilates, stretching, golf, walking);

- Level 3: medium support for activities that generate moderate bounce (cycling, dance, fitness, cardio-training);

- Level 5: high support for activities associated with intensive movements (HIIT, running, tennis, team sports, horse riding).

What makes this zip-up sports bra so comfortable?

This sports bra has everything you need for maximum comfort. The length keeps you fully covered and protected during your workout. The built-in cups and stretchy fabrics make it more comfortable.

We also used bonded seams with flat finishing for an even more comfortable fit, especially in positions where you're lying down. This also helps prevent chafing.

What support levels do Decathlon's sports bras come in?

The bra models are approved in our labs using a bust support test that measures the reduction in the acceleration of the breast movement during the sports activity. They are evaluated and ranked from 1 to 5: 1 for light support, 3 for medium support and 5 for high support.

Why is it important to wear a sports bra when doing sports?

When doing a sports activity, your breasts - which are fragile and supported mostly by skin - experience much greater impacts than during everyday activities. Regardless of your cup size or age, the movements and bouncing associated with sports activities increase the impact of their weight by up to five times depending on the intensity of your activity. A sports bra offers necessary support, comfort and protection. It will protect your breasts from impacts, pain and premature sagging.
