“Hi, I’m Amy from Sports Bras Direct. Today I’m having a closer look at the Glamorise Sport Zip-Up Sports Bra. This is a medium impact support sports bra. So, great for weight-lifting sessions at the gym and some light cardio work.
The cups are non-wired. They do have some seaming for helping with great shape. And as the name suggests it is done up with the zip front. If we just have a look at the zip more closely. You can see that at both top and bottom, there is a flap of material to make sure that the zip underneath isn’t coming into contact with your skin. Thus, helping to prevent any rubbing or chafing.
The zip itself has a lock-down position at the top. If we just undo, you can see that there is also an inner clip on the front of the zip. Now, when you put on the bra, doing this inner clip up first actually helps just hold the bra together. While you then put the bottom of the zip together as well. Then lock it in and cover over.
Now, the cups themselves are non-padded. So, they’re a really nice, soft, flexible material.
If we have a look at the straps, they are nice and wide to give good shoulder support over the top there. It is a permanent cross design at the back. Which is really flattering.
The band itself does actually have a hook-and-eye at the back as well. Now, this is a great option for zip front bras because it actually gives you the ability to loosen or tighten the band. That can be a common complaint with the zip-front, as you don’t always have the band adjustability, but not with this bra, it still gives you that control. So, just like a standard hook-and-eye clasp, that you can do up or undo here. So, once you’ve got the position worked out, whether you want the looser or the tighter setting. You can then leave that in place, set and forget, and just put the bra on using the zip at the front.
So overall, if you’re looking for a medium impact bra. That has got some style to it. Is really easy to put on and off, because you don’t have to reach around the back or put over the top of your head. Then the Glamorise Sport Zip-Up is a great option for you. If you really do want that high impact support. For activities like running, rebound training, that type of thing. Then this wouldn’t be the bra for you. As I don’t feel as though it offers high enough support for you.”
