We launch our latest innovation featuring patented technology. Our Cross Control technology combines laser cutting, bonding and moulding to offer high impact support with total comfort. It's so light and supportive you will forget you are wearing a sports bra, allowing you to focus solely on your performance.
We begin the Olympic year by revealing a dynamic new look for our logo and brand.
