Women’s PhD® Racerback Bra 

  • The outer fabric is smooth: allowing clothing to move over it freely without sticking  [45% merino wool, 51% nylon, 4% elastane]
  • The inner lining wicks away moisture and is really soft against the skin (no chafing experienced) [75% merino wool, 25% polyester]
  • The moulded cups and thick elastic terry-loop band provide comfortable medium support for hiking, jogging, kayaking etc. 
  • Wide straps are slightly padded and don’t cut or chafe. 
  • Sizing Notes: I am wearing a large, cup fit is perfect, band is 1/4-1/2″ too big. Usually a 34, DD.

    • These underwear are soft, stretchy and generally comfy.
    • They fit a bit ‘cheeky’ and the waistband is higher in the front than I would like. Throughout the day, they tend to ride up and stay put, not uncomfortable. No chafing, good wicking and easy to hand wash and dry overnight. 
    • Sizing Notes: I am wearing a medium. Usually a medium. Fits true to size.
