Best Sports Bras for Women, Tests and Reviews (2025)

Women’s sports bra It was a source of trouble for my teenager existence. There are few humbles to the point of struggling to slurp from the sweaty after a workout. I was distorted, my nails were made, and I almost dislocated my shoulder. And I once triggered what could only be described as the triggered locked jaw of a sports bra. They were too tight, flattening my breasts (and soul) and on bad days they gave me a decent dose of body image issues.

Somewhere between my fourth Fitness The Renaissance and realising I hadn’t worn my regular bra before the pandemic, I became a convert. After years of trial and error, I discovered a working bra style (thank you for the adjustable strap). Now I wear them and do my job, Exerciseand sometimes they do nothing at all.

The proper sports bra is soft, but structured, perfect, but breathable, and for me it’s enough to pass like a top Mountain All-Cifer Bra ($58). After testing dozens of people over the past few months, they run, lift, ride and flow.
