How to care for a zipped bra
If you want to feel good about what you're doing, you need to feel comfortable in your outfit. And for us, keeping you dry even when you're exerting yourself is part of the definition of comfort.
We've opted for a fabric that wicks away perspiration and dries quickly. So you can exert yourself as much as you like. You'll stay dry for the duration of your workout.
What makes this zipped bra particularly comfortable?
We've added just the right amount of comfort to this sports bra. The length of the bra ensures full coverage and protection of the chest during sport. The integrated shells and the elasticity of the fabrics make the bra more comfortable to wear.
We have also opted for glued seams with flat finishes for greater comfort, particularly when lying down. This also reduces chafing.
How can I be sure that the front zip won't open during practice?
For a sports bra that's easy to put on and take off, we've included a front zip. But don't worry, it's self-locking. So it can't open while you're wearing it.
Our tip for optimum use of the zip: pull up the fastener and press the slider to lock the zip.
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 rebound, 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 the zipped bra?
Designed for intensive sports use, this bra can be washed and rewashed. We simply recommend that you 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.
