These 15 Sports Bras Will Keep Your Ladies Warm

by Lindsey Rose Black

For all the ladies out there that are starting to have to deal with below freezing temperatures daily but still don’t want to workout indoors, I understand the struggle. I’ve scouted out all the warmest sports bras for running in winter so your tatas can stay toasty! While you’ll obviously need to layer up all over, keeping your chest warm is extra crucial.

The phrase “it’s cold outside” took on a whole new meaning for me last year when I tried to go for runs in Central Park after moving to Manhattan. I distinctly remember one night when it was eleven degrees outside — that’s when I knew I was going to have to completely overhaul my California-girl-turned-New-Yorker wardrobe (which depended mostly on the strategic layering of hoodies to stay warm). I used to scoff at the runners wearing balaclavas and ridiculously thick leggings, but suddenly I was ready to become one of them.

For me, one of the biggest challenges while running in the cold is keeping my chest nice and warm so I’m not gasping for breath. Investing in thicker, more insulating sports bras has been a major game-changer, and they’re bound to help you and your boobs stay nice and warm no matter what weather you’re facing.

Below are some of my top picks.
