Casall offers a variety of different sport bra models, each with unique characteristics. Your sports bra should feel right for you. The best way to choose the correct Sports bra for you is of course to try it on, we recommend running on the spot, jumping, and stretching while testing the fit. However, we have put together some points to help you guide you in the search for the perfect match. You should also remember that it is not only "the one" you are looking for, actually there can be different Sport bras that suits different occasions.
1. WHAT SIZE SHOULD I HAVE?
The right support matters! Most women wear their bra with a band that’s too loose and a cup that’s too small. When it comes to a sports bra, most of the support should come from the band, not from straps that are too tight.
How can I find my size?
Start by measuring below your bust (B), as you can see on the image below. Then use the table to find your size. Some of our Sport bras have sizes from 70-95 and some use XS-L sizes, you can easily transform your measurement to both variations by using the chart.
What is my cup size?
Measure the fullest part of your chest (A). You then deduct the (B) measurement from (A). For example, if your (A) measurement is 90 you then deduct 75 (B) you then get 15cm which means that you should have a B-cup as you can see in the table.
2. WHAT IS YOUR MAIN ACTIVITY?
Different activities require different levels of support. There’s no doubt that movement in yoga can be entirely different from movement in your gym workouts, so we designed specific support-systems for your asanas and your squats—and everything in between. We divide them in SOUL, BODY and HEART or if you like low, medium and high impact.
SOUL SPORT BRAS| LOW IMPACT ACTIVITIES
Our SOUL bras were designed for lower impact activities, like yoga, pilates, power walking, and golf. These bras are made with focus on comfort and mobility and we often use soft materials.
BODY SPORT BRAS | MEDIUM IMPACT ACTIVITIES
For mid-impact activities, like cycling, skiing, and core training, go for a BODY bra. These bras are made from materials that offer great support and moisture management, they will keep you comfortable even when your pulse is at it's limits.
HEART SPORT BRAS | HIGH IMPACT ACTIVITIES
Our HEART bras are designed for higher impact activity, with support and comfort as the main priorities. The materials used offer great support and moisture management to help you through the more intense sessions. HEART bras are perfect for running, Crossfit, and HIIT and if you have a larger bust that needs more support.
3. WHAT FEATURES ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
What are the most important features for you when it comes to choosing a Sports bra? You can select your perfect bra based on size and adjustability of straps, feel and function of fabrics, and elastic widths—the possibilities really are infinite. This is why we’ve created a range of sports bras that cater to various wants and needs when it comes to choosing the right sports bra for your chosen activities.

Even if you have small breast you still need to wear a Sports bra when working out. There are no muscles in your breast . They’re supported only by skin and a network of ligaments. Breast sagging, which is irreversible, occurs when these ligaments are overstretched.

We recommend that you use a high impact sports bra, that is made of tight materials, adjustable and wide shoulders straps helps to create the perfect fit and shaped cups in the sports bra can offer that extra support. We recommend two of our high impact sports bras, Our High Impact Sports bra is available in sizes 70-95 and you can choose from B, C, D, E, F and G-cups.

FAB FACTS ABOUT YOUR BREASTS AND TRAINING
-
When you train without a proper sports bra your breasts can move sideways, in and out and up and down, by as much as 20 centimetres.
-
There are no muscles in your breasts. They’re supported only by skin and a network of ligaments that weave throughout the breast and attach to the chest wall. Breast sagging, which is irreversible, occurs when these ligaments are overstretched.
-
With an ordinary bra, breast movement is reduced by around 35%, while a sports bra reduces movement by more than 70%.
-
Sports bras lose their elasticity over time. Just like training shoes, they need to be changed regularly.
-
Different activities – and physiques – require different types of support. Therefore you need different sport bras for different activities. Casall has a solution to meet most needs.
