Finding a sports bra that’s up to the task can feel like digging for a needle in a haystack. Enter SELF’s annual Activewear Awards, the culmination of our ultimate search for the best sports bras and leggings on the market. This year, we’re crowning eight bras we think are worthy of your shopping cart, including the Superfit Hero Racerback Sports Bra.
The Best Medium-Impact Bra: Superfit Hero Racerback Sports Bra
Why we love it: Superfit Hero’s classic racerback style is made in a gently compressive polyester-spandex blend. A soft-knit inner lining allows your boobs to breathe freely while keeping them covered. The bra is relatively no frills—no cups or padding, and you put it on overhead—and stays perfectly put…which is exactly why it becomes your everyday favorite. Our judges also noted that this bra lasts for several years of workouts and wash cycles, without wearing down.
One judge said: “I love the full coverage—my 46DD boobs don’t spill out of the arm holes or bottom when I'm jumping or rolling around on the ground. I also love the length—it can give the look of a crop top or sports bra.”
