The bra that keeps winning.

Sports Bra of the Year, three years running. Best in Test, ten times. A perfect 100 out of 100 in the Womenโ€™s Health Lab. And a Brandnew finalist spot at ISPO from a field of more than four hundred. Engineered by a sports engineer who used to test bras for someone else. Now the testers test hers.

From the founder

Before MAAREE, I was a sports engineer who tested bras for other people. The bigger your chest, the worse the options got. So I designed the first Overbandยฎ at my kitchen table and posted the prototype to the women who test bras for a living. Their verdict is on this page.

The record speaks for itself.

Four publications. Six years. Fourteen wins on the wall and one industry finalist nod from a field of four hundred. Every line below came from a panel that tests sports bras for a living. None of it was paid for.

The pages that wrote about us first.

The athletes who choose us

Worn by women who are tested for a living.

Premier League footballers. Premiership rugby players. The GB volleyball squad. Roller Derby leagues that bruise for sport. The athletes who wear MAAREE do not need a sports bra to look the part. They need one that holds.

What the women who paid for it said

The reviews tell the same story.

4.6 /5 from 1,600+ verified reviews

Magazine panels and labs are one thing. The number that matters most is what the women who paid for the bra say after a year of wearing it. We have more than 1,600 of those.

Why the recognition keeps coming

Most sports bras compress.
Overbandยฎ controls.

The Overbandยฎ is a curved panel built into every MAAREE sports bra, running across the top of the chest. It controls upward bounce. That is the vertical movement other sports bras largely ignore, and it is the reason most compression-only bras fail above a C cup.

Magazine panels notice it on the first run. Lab equipment measures it. The Overbandยฎ is the reason a brand started at a kitchen table sits on the magazine podium.
