Power Sculpt vs Easy Fit: which sports bra is for you
SHAPE makes two sports bras, and they do different jobs. The Power Sculpt is our high-impact sports bra: running, marathon training and serious weightlifting are what it is built for. The Easy Fit is our low-impact sports bra, for walking and gentler movement. Each one carries its own band-based size chart on its product page, and those charts differ on purpose, so always size from the chart on the page you are buying from, never from our regular letter sizes.
Which sports bra can I run in?
The Power Sculpt. It is the high-impact bra of the two, built for running, marathon training and serious weightlifting. If your week includes a jog, a sprint session or a heavy bar, this is the one to pick.
The Easy Fit is low impact only. It is made for gentler days: a walk, light movement, long easy hours. It is not built for running, and we would rather say that plainly than have it let you down on the road.
Which one for the gym?
It depends on the session, not the building. Anything with bounce, jumping or heavy lifting calls for the Power Sculpt. A slow, low-impact session is comfortable in the Easy Fit. If your gym week mixes both, the Power Sculpt covers the harder end, and a high-impact bra handles an easy day far better than a low-impact bra handles a hard one.
Why do their size charts look different?
Because the two bras are cut differently, their size charts differ by design. On the Power Sculpt, M fits bands 32 to 34, L fits 34 to 36, XL fits 36 to 38 and 2XL fits 38 to 40. On the Easy Fit, M fits bands 34 to 36, L fits 36 to 38, XL fits 38 to 40 and 2XL fits 40 to 42.
The same letter covers different bands on each bra, so your Power Sculpt size and your Easy Fit size may not match, and neither has to match your everyday SHAPE letter size. This is why each product page carries its own chart. Use the chart on the page you are ordering from, every time. The letter chart that maps our seamless everyday bras to band and cup sizes does not apply to sports bras at all.
What size am I, then?
Start with your band measurement, taken snug under the bust, and read it against the chart on the product page. If you are not sure how to measure, our sizing help page walks you through it. And if you would rather not work it out alone, message us on WhatsApp with your two measurements and a woman on our fit team will reply with your size for the exact bra you want.
Can I try them on first?
Yes. There is a private fitting at all seven stores across Dhaka: one consultant, one fitting room, no appointment and no obligation to buy. Walk in anytime. Your nearest one is on our store page.
Why does the right sports bra matter so much?
Movement is when support is tested hardest, and in our bras support comes from a firm band and a well-cut cup. That is also why the band measurement leads both sports charts: if the band is right, the bra can do its job. If you want the longer answer on how support actually works, we wrote it up on the science of breast support page.
