Seeking a super bra

Finding a bra that’s comfortable yet gives you the support you need isn’t always easy. We thought some of these showed promise.

Berlei’s ProElite Contour Crop is a high impact Support Factor 3 bra with encased underwire for added support. The front clasp allows easy conversion for cross-over, while the racerback design gives you greater freedom of movement. Encapsulated cups minimise bounce and banish the mono-boob.

Ideal for high impact activities, Panache’s Sport Power Underwired Sports Bra has wide padded straps that disperse pressure from the shoulders. Smooth moulded inner cups reduce friction, the adjustable straps ensure a secure fit, and the racerback option offers additional freedom of movement.

The Tripple Layer Support Racer Sports Bra by Bfree is designed for medium to high impact sports. Style, comfort and function come together in this seamless sports bra. Three layers of fabric over the bust offer comfortable, secure support. Available in a range of colours.

Triumph’s Triaction Performance Wired Sports Bra offers extreme support with maximum lightness, making it ideal for high impact training. Ideal when you need serious bounce control, this non-padded sports bra is engineered from innovative eco fabric for breathability and sweat reduction.

The Pro Indy Plunge Padded Sports Bra by Nike has minimised coverage yet still delivers a snug hold that helps keep everything in place. The bra features convertible straps and removable pads, while Nike Dri-FIT technology moves sweat away from your skin for quicker evaporation.

Lorna Jane’s Full Coverage Support Sports Bra is fully adjustable with a super breathable, bounce-limiting mesh panel, and a supportive bonded hem band for under-bust shaping. Wear it with regular straps or clip them together for a racer look.
