Tip No. 2: choose X or Y cuts. Sports bras with a "racer's back" are preferable: this cut facilitates ease of movement during sporting activity and ensures that the straps stay in place. When you have a large chest, you prefer models with wide straps crossed in the back (X or Y shape) to ensure good support during exercise. Practical: the front closure system and flat seams that do not leave marks on the skin.

Tip N°3: decipher the label. We opt for sports bra models made from elastane, a fabric that has good stretch. Ideally, the composition should mix sweat-wicking materials to avoid skin irritation. The trick: look on the label for Coolmax, Tactel Aquator, Superflat and Meryl. Antiperspirant materials.
