Performance fabrics are common in men's activewear, yet women's sports bras have not received the same attention when it comes to fabric innovations for cooling and comfort—and Thirdlove is remedying this with TempSync Active, a temperature-regulating sports bra and leggings collection.
The TempSync Active collection features antimicrobial fabric infused with natural minerals that help manage sweat, regulate body temperature, provide reliable support and long-lasting comfort. "We wanted to create the most modern, breathable sports bra possible and pair it with leggings that work just as hard, using sweat-absorbing, temperature-regulating fabric to keep women dry and comfortable as they move," said Heidi Zak, co-founder and CEO of Thirdlove. "Most activewear brands focus on getting the leggings right first, and the sports bra often comes as an afterthought. As bra experts, we saw this as an opportunity to rethink both."
