Backless and halter neck sports bras

Backless sports bras leave your upper back open, so they work under low back tops and racerback vests, or on their own. Ours come in three styles, all in sizes XS to XXL. The Evolve Barely There Sports Bra is a halter neck with light support and no padding. The Legacy Halterneck Sports Bra has removable padding and low to medium support. The Evolve Bandeau Bralette has removable padding and detachable straps.

What is a halterneck sports bra?

A halterneck bra has a strap that runs up and around the back of your neck instead of over each shoulder, which leaves your shoulders and back bare. The Evolve Barely There Sports Bra and the Legacy Halterneck Sports Bra are both halter neck styles. The Evolve Bandeau Bralette can be worn strapless or with its straps on. For thin straps that cross at the back, see strappy sports bras.

Open back sports bras and support

The Evolve Barely There Sports Bra gives light support and the Legacy Halterneck Sports Bra low to medium support, so they suit yoga, Pilates, weights and everyday wear. For running and jumping, choose a high impact sports bra. See all low impact sports bras or the full range of sports bras.

How a backless sports bra should fit

The band does most of the work, so it should sit flat and firm around your ribs without riding up. A halter strap should lie flat at the back of your neck without digging in. If you are between sizes, size up.

What to wear with a halter sports bra

Pair it with leggings or gym shorts for a gym set, or wear a crop top over it and let the straps show. For a softer, unpadded look see bralettes.

What level of support do I need in a sports bra?

The level of support you need in a sports bra depends on the type of activity you’re doing and your individual comfort. For low-impact exercises like yoga or Pilates, a light-support bra such as our Barely There Bra is often enough. For medium-impact activities like cycling or weight training, a medium-support bra provides the right balance of comfort and stability such as our Evolve sports bra. For high-impact workouts like running, CrossFit, or HIIT, you’ll need a high-support bra such as our Criss Cross Bra or Bandeau Bra to minimize movement and provide maximum support. Choosing the right level of support is crucial to ensure comfort, prevent discomfort, and protect your breasts during exercise.
How should a sports bra fit to ensure proper support?

A sports bra should fit snugly to provide proper support, but not so tight that it feels uncomfortable or restricts movement. The band, which provides most of the support, should be firm and lie flat around your ribcage without riding up or digging in. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the band and your skin. The straps should be secure without slipping off your shoulders or digging in, and the cups should fully contain your breasts without any overflow or gaping. A good fit will minimize bounce, offer stability, and allow you to move freely during your workout. If you experience any discomfort, try adjusting the straps or trying a different size.
