Product Description
Do away with uncomfortable chest straps and measure your heart rate the easy way with the Polar Cardio sports bra. Designed to work with the Polar Wearlink transmitter, Polar training computers, and other heart-rate-compatible equipment (all sold separately), the Polar sports bra allows you to incorporate the device directly into the garment by attaching it to the bra with the built-in snaps. In addition, the bra is extremely comfortable, with no-slip shoulder straps, flat seams that minimize chaffing, an adjustable back closure, and a polyester/Spandex fabric blend that wicks away moisture as you exercise. Designed to offer high-impact support for A, B, and C cup wearers--with a seamless cup that's notably smooth under the shirt--the Polar sports bra is even machine-washable.
About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.
Customer Review:
Update: After owning two of these sports bras for over four months, I have found myself wearing the chest strap instead of the bras for about half of my workouts. I reduced my original rating of five stars to four stars since the sports bras tend to rise up a bit during rigorous exercise (e.g. boot camp, body combat), and the sensors don't stay against my chest when doing floor exercises (e.g. situps). The sports bras are ideal for cycling and working out on the elliptical machine, since my upper body is stationary for the most part.
Original Review: I love not having to wear a chest strap! I needed a 34D, so I purchased a large. The large was too big around my rib cage and didn't keep a consistent heart rate connection. The large is definitely true to size, as it is advertised as 36". I had the closure taken in 2" at the tailor. I ordered a medium, and it fits well. My WearLink transmitter, which came with my Polar F11 heart rate monitor, snaps in perfectly, and I have not had any problems keeping a reliable heart rate reading. The equipment at the gym also picks up the transmitter signal, which is nice. I have recommended this product to friends.
