With the Solidarity High Impact Sports Bra, Maaree has provided a solid option that really does appear to meet both of these needs – though in doing so it has had to use a fairly rigid material and the RRP is much higher than competitors. Maaree Solidarity High-Impact Sports Bra: construction Please note that the tape measure isn't always 100% accurate when it comes to measuring the bust. If you are getting a totally different measurement than expected, please book in for a Free Online Fitting, and we can help further. I get asked a lot by clients which running bras I recommend, so I was excited when MAAREE asked me if I would like to try their High Impact sports bra. It’s a brand I hadn’t heard of before, and believe me, I’ve tried a LOT.

It will only be the two of you. Yourself and your fitter. If you prefer. to bring a friend or mother (a must if you are under 18 years of age) to the appointment with you, that's fine with us! Maaree offer an on-line bra fitting appointment and consultation, which was excellent.I had clear instructions to help me to measure myself accurately and easily during an online video meeting.Mari took note of the different sports activities I regularly do and recommended a specific sports bra based on that information. Subtract your underband size away from your bust measurement and the difference between these measurements will reveal your cup size. Refer to chart below. For example, if your bust measurement is 36 inches and underband size (as calculated in the last step) is 32 inches, then the difference it 4 inches. Your bra size would be 32D. Please be sure to use a non-stretch fabric tape measure. Then, using the information and charts below, you can find your ideal size for all MAAREE products.

There was no bounce when running and I was pleased that the bra didn’t restrict my breathing despite being so well fitted. I have felt my breathing restricted before when running uphill in other sports bras – for example, a very expensive Enell Sports Bra – but not with the Maaree bra. The MAAREE brand was set up by Mari Thomas, who has competed at national level in sport and after her career turned to sports bra performance testing under lab conditions, she found that her ultimate support didn’t exist, so decided to come up with a solution. My new Solidarity High Impact Sports Bra in Forest Green arrived promptly. Mari had suggested that it might feel a little stiff when it first arrived, so I should just give it a little stretch to soften the material, and then because it is a smaller band size than I’m used to, I might find it easier to fasten at the front, then twist around. Immediately I could feel how supportive the bra would be. The Overband adjusts under the arms, in the same way the straps adjust, and I could feel the difference as I tightened or loosened it. I’m 51 and could certainly do with losing a stone or so. However, despite sportswear manufacturers’ best efforts, I don’t let this put me off going running, walking and doing various other sports.

Maaree Solidarity High-Impact Sports Bra review - Cycling Weekly

Maaree occasionally runs limited-time promotions, flash sales, or discount codes. Keep an eye out for these opportunities to maximize your savings.We started virtual fittings due to the inability to travel during the pandemic, but it turned into a valued service that gets women their right support at their convenience. We now offer fittings four days a week in two timezones for free. The fabric of the bra feels beautifully soft next to the skin, and I like the breathable mesh fabric between the breasts too. It certainly does what it promises, nothing moves and yet it doesn’t pinch and breathing is still possible. This is excellent news.
