Every woman is built differently and has a different idea of what makes the perfect sports bra. But every woman wants (and deserves) a sports bra that is comfortable and supportive, and lets her do activities with zero distraction. In light of that, we had a team of testers—all different sizes—try more than 30 of the best sports bras while hiking, climbing, practicing yoga, running, weightlifting, and more to find the models that delivered the best performance and comfort for a variety of different types of bodies, conditions, and activities.
Update April 2025: We’ve replaced the sports bras in four categories, added three new categories (best for summer, best for wearing a pack, and best simple running bra) and changed the categories of two we carried over from the fall round-up.
