When you think wool, wearing a sports bra made of the material may not be the first thought that enters your mind. After all, if you're used to scratchy wool that makes your skin itch like you've been sleeping on a patch of poison ivy, having it rub up against your, er, precious assets as you sweat probably isn't the most appealing idea.

Fear not though, the folks at Ibex have spent a lot of time developing their Balance Sports Bra, using soft 17.5 micron wool and adding some spandex and nylon for stretch and support. They've tested the product in a range of weather conditions and proven it holds up in a variety of athletic settings. As it turns out, a sports bra made from soft natural wool may actually turn out to be more comfortable than one that uses synthetic material, plus it's better for the environment too!

The Balance Sports Bra is best suited for low to medium impact activities and is the best fit for those in the A, B or C-cup size range.
