Whether you’re a long-distance runner or a HIIT class junkie, the one thing you’d always need is a supportive, comfortable and easy-to-wear sports bra. However, we aren’t just talking about any sports bra. You’ll specifically need high impact sports bras for extra support during high-intensity activities. From Under Armour and Funfit sports bras to sexy ones from Triumph, look and feel great without experiencing chafing or restricted movements during your next intensive workout sess!
Straps: Go for straps that have a racerback design, as this will secure the bra closer to your body and provide even more support. Adjustable straps and back hook clasps for custom fit are always good news because it’s never a one-size-fits-all when it comes to bras.
Comfort: Chances are, your high-intensity workouts are going to make you sweat… a lot! Many high impact sports bras are made from a material that wicks sweat from your body, and also features mesh panels that make them more breathable and comfortable than regular sports bras.
High tech fabric: High impact sports bras can be considered to be some of the latest gizmos too. Some of the best sports bras in Singapore are manufactured with fabric that moulds with your every movement; some even come with thermoregulating fabric — to keep you warm when your body cools down, and to keep you cool when you’re overheating!
Under Armour sports bras are the forefront of innovative sportswear design and are easily one of the best sports bras to get in Singapore. The Under Armour Women’s Infinity High Sports Bra (available on Under Armour Official Store) is especially great for high impact activities like running.

This sports bra is perfect for mid to high intensity sports such as running and hiking. We especially liked the mint colour of this bra as it provides a fresh respite from the usual black or navy sportswear in our wardrobe. Plus points!
A sweaty class calls for sports bras with extra breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
