Review: La Isla Sports Bra

No one paid me for this post and I paid for this product with my hard-earned cash. There are affiliate links in this post, which means I get a cut if you choose to buy it. Mostly I just want to share a killer deal.

I can't smile before 6 a.m. Sorry.

Because everyone loves a good selfie, especially when combined with a great deal, I thought I'd take this opportunity to share an excellent value sports bra I recently purchased. I sometimes stumble into great deals on Amazon, which I frequently post on my Facebook page. This deal was so stellar that it gets its own blog post.


I was cruising Amazon recently and stumbled across the  La Isla High Impact Sports Bra. It looked eerily like a the Moving Comfort Fiona bra, and the reviews were promising. I figured for $17 with free shipping, might as well give it a try. It's nearly the same price as the cheapo models I usually purchase but appeared to boast the support of the $50 versions I sometimes splurge on. I ordered it in the same size as my Moving Comfort bra and hoped it was as awesome as that bra at a fraction of the price.

Post sweaty tempo run

When it arrived, the similarities between the La Isla version and the Moving Comfort model were very apparent - it has the same velcro set up for the straps and three-snap closure in the back. The band is a bit different and the cut out attachments for the straps feel a bit more flimsy. The fabric is a bit different, too. The finish isn't as slippery and silky as the Moving Comfort Fiona and you can tell it's a cheaper fabric. It's still nicer in both construction and quality than what I could purchase for the same price at WalMart. I wish I would have ordered a touch smaller, but it will do. There also are not any removable pads as indicated in the description. The Fiona doesn't have removable pads, either.


I tried wearing the Moving Comfort knock off to CrossFit first and found it to be more than sufficient, even during a workout that require box jumps. Next, I took it to the gym for a sweaty tempo session and it felt great. It did not constrict, nor did it rub. It was The Three Bears version of a sports bra - juuuuust right.

I brazenly took it out for my recent 18 miler as well and felt golden about that choice later on. No chafing, no bouncing, no problem.

This is now my go-to bra and I have more colors in my Amazon basket for the next occasion I need another bra. I thought I'd share my windfall, in case you're searching for a cheaper version of the Moving Comfort bra.
