Mio Plus Size Activewear | Lululemon Style Yoga Wear for 14+ Size Women

Barbra — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:54:00 +0000

Looking for activewear versatile enough to wear to the gym, a yoga class or out for coffee with the girls?
There’s a new company called MiO that believes women deserve the same quality, style and fit regardless of size. MiO focuses on designing a flattering fit for plus size clothing without compromising style or performance.
The majority of women in North America are not of slight build so why is it so hard to find trendy clothing, especially when searching for sports apparel? Why is everything made for those with zero body fat or zero style? Unless you are in the market for a pair of tight biker shorts and a big t-shirt to get you through a yoga class, your journey can feel long, disappointing and not at all motivating.
That’s why I’m always happy to recommend plus size activewear clothing companies like MiO.

Activa Zip-Front Plus-Size Sports Bra (ATV107) | Bargain Lycra Bra

Barbra — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 01:22:34 +0000

This Activa Ultratek Zip-Front Sports Bra model ATV107 is a real find. In my comparison tests, it offers all the comfort and support of the well-known Enell sports bra (the “Oprah sports bra”) at just over half the price. I’m always on the lookout for anything that is plus size, cheap and good quality so this fits the bill.

The Activa Zip Front Bra costs about $38, while the Enell sports bra is about $60. From my comparison tests, the bras are very similar so why pay twice as much? These three photos show wearing the Activa Ultratek Zip-Front Sports Bra in size E, which covers sizes 40DDD, 42D-42DD, 44D. I was pleased to find it fit true to size – I wear a 40DDD and the Activa size E fit me comfortably.
(Like the Enell sports bra, the Activa sports bra does not come in specific band/cup sizes. Rather, they come in sizes 1 – 8 and A – F respectively.)
As you can see, the zip-front, molded cup bra has real hold. It covers my back well, which I find very important for comfort (the more coverage across my back the less weight pulling on my shoulders).
The bra is constructed of Supplex/Lycra® – which to me feels like a firm, soft cotton. Apparently it has moisture wicking properties as well. Come to think of it, the last time I wore this bra was a blazing hot day and I didn’t have the sweating under my breasts that I usually get.
One interesting design feature is the three inside hook closures (one at the top and two at the bottom) that provide a back-up to the zipper. The hooks are easy to do up – in fact, often I’ll just zip up the bra and find that the hooks just automatically hook themselves.
The Activa Ultratek Zip-Front Sports Bra comes in these sizes:
A: 32DDD, 34C-34D, 36C
B: 34D-34DDD, 36D-36DD
C: 36DDD, 38C, 38D, 40C
D: 38DD-38DDD, 40D-40DD
E: 40DDD, 42D-42DD, 44D
F: 42DDD, 44D-44DDD, 46D
Note: Although the Activa Sports Bra was a complimentary sample provided at my request by the manufacturer, my review is an unbiased appraisal.
