How can you stay dry even when you're sweating thanks to this swimmer's back bra?
Moving and exercising also means sweating. And let's face it, feeling wet when you're exercising isn't a very pleasant feeling.
To ensure that you stay dry even when you're exerting yourself, we've opted for a synthetic fabric for the design of this bra. The advantage of this material is that it wicks away perspiration and dries quickly. So you can work out as hard as you like, without worrying about getting soaked at the end of your session.
How does the design of this swimmer's back bra make sport easier?
Whether it's dancing, fitness, cycling or hiking, it's important to be able to move your legs freely, as well as your arms. That's why we've designed this sports bra with a swimmer's back. This leaves the shoulder blades free, so you can move your arms with maximum amplitude and comfort.
Why is it important to protect the chest during exercise?
During sporting activities, your breasts, which are fragile and supported almost entirely by the skin, are subjected to much greater stress than in everyday life. No matter what your cup size or age, they are subjected to movement and bounce, and can weigh up to 5 times their own weight, depending on the intensity of the activity. A sports bra gives them the support, comfort and protection they need. It protects them from impact, pain and premature sagging.
What are the support levels of Decathlon sports bras?
Models are validated in our laboratories using a breast support test that measures the reduction in the acceleration of breast movement during sport. They are rated from 1 to 5: 1 for light support, 3 for medium support and 5 for strong support.
Which level of bra support for which sport?
Bra support must be adapted to the sport in question. Our range comprises 3 levels:
- Level 1: light support for activities that produce gentle chest movements (yoga, Pilates, stretching, golf, walking)
- Level 3: medium support for activities that produce moderate bounce (cycling, dance, fitness, cardio-training)
- Level 5: strong support for activities associated with intense movements (hiit, running, tennis, team sports, horse riding)

How are Decathlon bras designed?
Decathlon bras are designed by our team of experts to optimize your comfort and avoid health problems. We don't use underwires to avoid the risk of injury and lymph node compression. We minimize seams around the nipple to limit the risk of irritation. We also favor moisture-wicking components to guarantee your comfort and considerably reduce the risk of irritation.
How to care for a swimmer's back bra
Designed for intensive sports use, this bra can be washed and rewashed. We simply advise you to wash it at no more than 30° in our washing net, sold separately (ref. 8505236).
Use liquid detergent rather than washing powder, and avoid fabric softeners. These can impair the breathability of fabrics.
Do not tumble dry.
