FIND YOUR PERFECT SPORTS BRA SIZE
Posted 04 Feb 2021
What size should you get in a sports bra? Is it any different to your normal bra size? This blog post will help you find the perfect sports bra size!
Admit it. You hate shopping for bras, am I right? Well, you’re not alone. It’s so hard to find the right size, and every supplier has their own sizing … it’s a jungle out there! Sadly, we don’t have a magical sports bra size calculator, but we can promise you that we will help you find the right one!
So, how do you find the right sports bra size? First of all, you need a measuring tape.
With the measuring tape start by:
If you're between two sizes, we always recommend going for the bigger option.
E.g., if you’re L in chest but M in the waist, we recommend you buy L. If the size is wrong, you can always change it – free of charge.
We also offer styles with an adjustable back, this way you can choose how tight you want the bra to be around your chest!

Print Bras
Support: High (one of our best sports bra models when it comes to support)
When running outside, and especially when it's dark, you need to make sure that you're visible. There are many ways you can be visible: Dressing in brights colours, bringing a headlight etc., but we strongly recommend dressing in reflective clothing – and we got multiple options for you!
It's worth mentioning that if you dress in regular clothes when running outside in the dark, you are only visible at a distance of 25–30 meters. If you dress in reflective clothing, on the other hand, you'll be visible at a distance of 140 meters when encountering a car. Converted to seconds, the driver has 10 instead of 2 seconds to react, and that can be the difference between life and death in worst-case scenarios.
Although most of us know that it is very important to use reflective clothing or reflectors, surveys show that only 4 out of 10 Norwegians use it (Trygg Trafikk, 2020).
We got multiple options for you if you're looking for reflective clothing. We got tights and sweaters with reflective print. The reflective print has highly reflective glass beads coated in the surface of the fabric that works by reflecting light to the light source only, such as a car's headlights. In other words, the reflective print only lights up for the person with the light source or in line with it.
2. Stay warm
Getting cold while working out can ruin a workout. That's why dressing accordingly to the weather is crucial. We got multiple options for dressing for cold weather: Jackets, Fleece, Winter Tights, Winter Long Sleeves, Hiking Pants and more.
Our winter tights, also called Thermal Tights, are perfect for running and training outdoors. The Winter Tights have a 360-degree reflective print, a pocket that fits your phone and a brushed inside for heat regulation that'll keep you warm on colder days. The winter tights are designed to improve performance, make you visible and keep you warm. Note: The tights have stay-warm technology, which means that as long as you are active / moving, they'll keep you warm!
The thermal tights are of course non-transparent and 100% squat proof!
3. Use spiked shoes
Darkness plus cold, slippery conditions equal danger. I've personally faceplanted on multiple occasions because of this, and I can't say enough how important it is to wear proper shoes when running during winter – especially when it's dark. A good pair of spiked shoes will get you a long way! If you don't like running in spiked shoes you should at least look for shoes designed for off-road running.
4. Use a headlight
If you live far away from a city, the distance between streetlights can be far between – particularly in rural areas. With a headlight, you're more likely to feel safe while running (because you can actually see where you're going) and you will be more visible to others too. A headlight combined with reflective clothing is the best way to dress when going for a run in darkness.
