Women’s adidas Training Olympic Sports Bra Review

Fitness, Fitness related, Marathons - Anupriya kapur - April 29, 2016

When I wrote an article about how to choose the right sports bra (click here to read), quite a few readers asked me for recommendations on what would be the right fit for them. At the time I hadn’t reviewed enough, so I couldn’t make a fair assessment. Now that I finally have (took me long enough), I might review and share other products that I find useful more often as well.

Getting the right sports bra is probably the biggest challenge we face specially in India as we still don’t have enough variety to choose from. Boobs come in all shapes and sizes after all and definitely seem to have a mind of their own!

I face the problem of being big chested (and I’m a mom so you know what I mean) with a relatively smaller frame. So I end up getting frustrated most of the times as the perfect fit for my cup size would invariably have a loose band at the bottom of the bra. And the only reason I chose to review this particular Climacool bra is because that’s the exact problem it tackles. There is an adjustable loop closure at the sides of the band allowing variable fit. So basically, I chose the bra which fitted my cup perfectly while I had option of tightening the band at the bottom giving me the right snug fit. It covers me well and even though it is not an encapsulation bra (I would prefer that any day), and presses the boobs to hold them in place, you wouldn’t find me complaining as the support is adequate. I don’t face the problem of side boobs in this one either (in most I have tried it feels like that I have a uniboob in the center and two boobs on the side, ughh!)._MG_1938

My other problem being that if I would bend a lot and do yoga, my ‘girls’ wouldn’t want to stay in place. But with this one they stay lifted and I don’t feel the need to keep adjusting them after every back/forward bending asana.

There is a mesh panel on back and side making it well ventilated, my back stays sweat free for most part. The other good thing about having the adjustable loops is that as the bra stretches out over months due to intensive use, you can move the hook a few times before having to buy a new one.

Even though it’s a “Training” Bra, I’m glad that it didn’t deter me from trying it on a run. I have done a maximum distance of 10km in this but wouldn’t be much concerned about doing longer distances. At 2,499/-, it’s competitively priced but I strongly believe that good sports bras are always an investment. And buying anything during sales always makes more sense.

All in all, it’s a great basic supportive sports bra for the bigger-chested women with small frame.

    Nice article! I have tried Puma and Adidas high intensity…but they are not the ones for me! I am hardly able to breathe …I love Champion ones with medium support…breathable, Flexible….and good support. The only downside is that they are not available here…..

      I can imagine Tushima! I don’t like depending on anyone coming from abroad and that’s why try to find something locally always.

    Really good information . Do you know till what size they have (like band size) ? I struggle the other way around as I have relatively broader frame, most of the sports brands available in india they assume only thin people or people with petite frame exercise..which is disgusting

      I know what you are saying. It’s quite frustrating. It’s like only models exercise! I will have someone from adidas(who’s also a runner and broad framed) answer this question for you as I feel she will do more justice to it.

        Amrita – So did my research. The one I’m wearing is Small. This one comes in sizes – S to XL, S is 34-36, M is 38-40 and L is 42-44. This one does up cup size variants though. I would recommend that you do try it out in the store as the fabric is very breathable too.
