Product Description

With remarkable two-in-one support, the Moving Comfort Maia Bra is made to fit and flatter larger-breasted women. With seam-free molded cups and an underwire to separate and support the breasts, the Maia offers an enhanced fit and a smooth, no-line look under shirts. To further reinforce and support the chest and increase comfort, internal spacer fabric extends from the cup to the strap of the bra. The back straps are adjustable for an optimum fit, and three plush-backed hook-and-eye rows on band offer further adjustable comfort. On a purely aesthetic level, the Maia reduces the "tube" effect created by so many sports bras on the market so you can look great and feel great.

Designed for high-impact sports, the Maia features combined encapsulation and compression support. The encapsulation bra cup construction surrounds the breast to give support and shaping, protecting the breast tissue from horizontal, vertical, and circular motion during sports. Compression bra construction redistributes breast tissue to evenly press against the chest wall limiting overall motion. If you have been discouraged by sport bras that do not accommodate larger chest sizes or are unattractive to look at, then Maia is a great choice for you. Designed for comfort and beauty, this is a bra that recognizes the athleticism of all women.

Specifications:

  • 2-in-1 support
  • Seam-free molded cups
  • Underwire
  • Smooth, no-line look under shirts
  • Internal spacer fabric reinforces support
  • Adjustable back straps
  • Three plush-backed hook-and-eye rows on band

Support Type:

  • Compression: Bra cup construction that redistributes breast tissue to evenly press against the chest wall to limit motion
  • Encapsulation: Bra cup construction that surrounds the breast to give support and shaping. Based on various degrees of impact, this structure helps to protect the breast tissue from horizontal, vertical, and circular motion during sports activities.

Material Specifications:

    Body: 88 percent polyester, 12 percent spandex Interior Cups: 100 percent polyester spacer fabric

Care Specifications:

  • Machine washable
  • Fasten the hooks before tossing them in the machine
  • Hang dry

Find Your Fit:

  • Band: Should be slightly more snug than a lingerie bra. Make sure you can comfortably take a deep breath with the bra fastened on the middle hook. Be sure the band doesn't ride up in the back. If it does, the band may be too loose and/or the straps need to be adjusted.
  • Cups: Adjust your breasts for a proper fit. They should be completely held within the cups without overflowing. Fabric should be smooth. Wrinkles or puckers indicate the cup is too big. Underwire should sit on your ribcage below the breast tissue and follow your natural shape.
  • Straps: Should offer minimal stretch to reduce up-and-down breast movement. Wider straps will disperse the weight and feel more comfortable. Straps should not dig in or slide off your shoulders. Adjustable straps offer a more custom fit.

About Moving Comfort:
Two female runners founded Moving Comfort in 1977 before there were women's workout clothes. In the 30-plus years since the founding, the company hasn't strayed from its original purpose. Moving Comfort uses high-quality, performance fabrics that have the right amount of stretch, perfect quick-wicking moisture management, and a healthy amount of comfort--cut exactly for a woman's body.

Moving Comfort follows the following guidelines in constructing high-performance athletic wear for women:

Moving means moving: The how doesn't matter--running, walking, weight training, yoga, martial arts, skiing, snowshoeing, rock climbing, horseback riding, golf, tennis, basketball, volleyball, soccer, inline skating...Moving Comfort naturally understands and designs clothes for a woman's body, whatever that body was meant to do.

Quality comes first: Moving Comfort understands the kind of support and freedom needed in clothing, and how that clothing should feel against the skin. The company knows what keeps women warm and dry when it's cold and cool and dry when it's hot. Knowledge, expertise and high standards shape the fit, fabric and function of every garment Moving Comfort designs.

Fit affects everything: Keeping fit improves every aspect of a woman's life--reducing the incidence of heart disease, breast cancer, osteoporosis, depression, and drug and alcohol abuse. If a girl or woman is more comfortable when she's working out, she's more likely to keep at it. That's why Moving Comfort views its technical garments--and the great fit of each piece--as a means to encourage women to get fit and stay fit.

Support, Comfort, & Shape, Finally!
 
Review Date: June 17, 2009
Reviewer: stronger, Charlottesville, VA USA
I recently received my Moving Comfort Maia bra, size 38DD. I have to say, I was so blown away by this bra that I immediately ordered a second one in a different color!

First, I'll start with the cons...

1. It is pretty high cut. There is no sexy cleavage with this baby... you can barely see any cleavage at all. But let's be realistic, this is a sport's bra... and not those barely there sports bras that you see in the fitness magazines!

2. It's not quite as supportive as other sports bras I've had. I still have a little bounce, but I don't feel like my boobs are going anywhere. It's certainly not back injuring bounce, and it doesn't bother me for the activities I do... joggers or jumpers might want a little more support.

3. The straps are not adjustable. I don't find this to be a problem, but I could see where it might be an issue for some people.

4. The band is a little tight, but then again, it is supposed to be snug as a sports bra. I would advise that if your regular bra is a little tight, you may want to go up a size for this sport's bra.

Now for the pros...

1. It fits. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered bras online and they come in and don't fit right. They expect women with larger boobs to have the same shapes and fits as women with smaller sizes. Many times, the larger bras will either try to mould you into a cone or squish you into a pancake. This bra does neither. My boobs look awesome. The cups are nice and round, and because of the high neck I don't get the dreaded quad boob. I miss the fantastic cleavage this bra might give me, but I'll trade that for the comfort!

2. It seperates. I can't tell you how many uniboobs I've had over the years after trying to squish myself into a typical sports bra. Today, I'm wearing this bra with a tight t-shirt, and you can tell that there are two of them in there.

3. It puts them in the right place. My silhouette from both directions looks great. Often with sports bras, my boobs either look great from the side (uniboob squishes them together in the center), or they look great from the front but I have to contend with pancake boobs. Now I can go out for hikes with friends and not be so self-conscious.

4. The straps stay put. Sometimes I feel like 10% of my day is spent lifting wayward straps off of my upper arms and back up to my shoulders. No matter how tight I make the straps, it never fails to happen. I even started only buying adjustable strap bras so that I can criss-cross the straps in the back so they don't fall down. With this bra, I haven't had to worry about it once. It really is awesome.

5. Ok, so this might not initially seem like a pro, but the high neck can actually be useful. I think I'm going to use this bra under some of my low cut shirts that look fine on a normal person, but look vulger with my size. I can get away with wearing a tank under and showing some cleavage on the weekends... but I need something that covers up a little more at work. By letting this bra peek through, I'm letting it do double duty as a bra and a layering peice.

So, my love-hate relationship with my boobs might finally be resolved thanks to this great bra. I bought it because I've been going on lots of hikes and wanted something with a better fit under my hiking gear... but now I think I'll be using this bra for everyday wear also.
Fantastic

I'm a 40 D and I hate bras. This bra is amazing. I forget completely that I'm wearing it. I can run and participate in other high energy activities and experience no shoulder or neck pain. It's fantastic. I would recommend this bra to any "full figured" woman.
Great sports bra.

Reviewer: Shannon M., Tennessee
I bought the Moving Comfort Maia sports bra. This is my favorite sports bra now. Tight fit with no movement. I run four days a week, and I find myself grabbing this bra instead of my old Nike fav. It's not a tiny top, for those of you who like to skimp; it's a functioning bra that's definately built to support all around. It has good breathability and wicking, and no chaffing problems. Stays in place. I plan on purchasing another one to keep the wear and tear down.
My 4th Maia Moving Comfort Bra!

Super-firm, motionless support. I love this sports bra! Perfect for high-impact on a body that requires the most support available. I saw this bra recommended in a magazine a few years ago and have been buying it ever since.

Reviewer: Dressage Queen, New england
I ride several horses a day, and am a 36D. Normally the impact of riding has forced me to wear 2 sports bras, and still have bounce, or shoulder pain.
The Moving Comfort Maia is hands down the best bra I've ever worn. They make a bra that not only stops the bounce, but it fits very well, and is so comfortable.
I own 3 of these bras. I highly recommend this bra if you need serious bounce control and are also looking for a flattering fit !

Product Description

Enjoy cool-weather riding with the soft and comfortable Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal Cycling Tights. Designed to protect your hard-working muscles with well-regulated warmth and superior moisture transfer, the Elite Thermal Tights are constructed with high-performance Thermal UltraSensor fabric. The Thermal UltraSensor fabric has a brushed inner surface to trap warmth, while dual-layer yarn technology transfers moisture away from the skin to the garment's outer surface for fast evaporation so you stay warm, dry, and comfortable as you exert.

Designed for long hours in the saddle, the Elite Thermal Cycling Tights are bike ready with a top-quality 3D Elite Chamois. The extremely supportive and flexible four-way stretch 3D Elite Chamois has 13 millimeters of moisture-wicking, plush microfiber padding, providing the protection you need for long grueling rides. The four-way stretch design provides a perfect fit, and differentiated padding levels in key areas reduce pressure points. With the top-performing transfer-fabric capabilities that Pearl Izumi is known for, the Chamois disperses heat and moisture from the groin with perforated UltraSensor transfer fabric, carbon yarns, and natural silver antimicrobial fibers that reduce bacteria and help regulate temperature for long-lasting comfort.

With an ergonomic eight-panel design and low-profile flatlock seams, the Elite Thermal Cycling Tights offer zero-abrasion comfort and a streamlined profile. The tights feature an ultra-comfortable wide waistband that lays softly against the skin. Offset seven-inch zippers with locking tabs make it easy to take the tights on and off over shoes, and gripper elastic at the leg openings keeps tights in place. The tights are detailed with reflective piping on the ankle zips and a reflective splice above the ankle zips for low-light visibility.

Like all Pearl Izumi products the Women's Elite Thermal Cycling Tights have a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in materials and workmanship, excluding failures from accidents, misuse, improper care, or normal wear. For best results Pearl Izumi recommends washing its products with detergents free of additives, such as fabric softeners and perfumes, because detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. The best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names. Hang dry the product or dry it on a low or warm dryer setting. Never use a hot dryer setting or use a commercial dryer as this will damage the fabric's performance.

  • Elite Thermal UltraSensor fabric

Pearl Izumi 3D Chamois Technology:

  • Seamless Fusion Technology smoothly bonds ultra-plush surface materials to anatomically positioned padding that follows the contours of the body providing a seamless, chafe-free chamois.
  • Pressure Relief Technology (PRT) optimizes riding comfort by utilizing a system of patented dual-density, multi-tiered padding that delivers both short ride and long-lasting comfort.
  • Breathable 4-Way Stretch Chamois Construction provides riding comfort by utilizing an open-cell foam that forces moisture away from the body for long-lasting dry comfort.
