When it comes to bras, base your measurements on a well-fitting bra, preferably one without underwires.
The measured size serves as a guideline. The actual size for the best comfort of each customer can only be determined by trying the item on!

Underbust measurement
Take the measurement by holding the tape directly under the bust (1).
This measurement determines the bra size.
Bust measurement
Place the tape directly over the widest point of the breast without digging in.
Use the chart to find out the cup size
Pants size
To work out the pants size, measure the waist (3) by holding the tape horizontally around the smallest part of the waist.
Measure the hips (4) by holding the tape horizontally around the widest part of the hips.
If there is a considerable difference between the waist and hip measurement, always take the larger size.

Velvety soft, moisture-wicking, supportive, it shapes the bust comfortably and is completely undetectable. Nothing pinches, nothing chafes, no unpleasant sweating. The perfect bra for sports activities as well as everyday wear. It goes perfectly with my merino shirts, which I wear not only when hiking but every day (hot tip: Alpin Loacker Merino Tops and Shirts ;-)
Review by Bianca Posted on
I have very sensitive skin and will chafe around my nipples with sweat and synthetic fabrics when exercising particularly if it is a compression type fit sports bra. I have large breasts so I need a substantial bra. This bra is wonderful with the merino wool that wicks moisture away and is so soft. No chafing and plenty of support. I also have a long drop so finding a bra with long enough straps is hard. This bra has solved both issues for me. I love it!! Please make it in a lighter color so I can wear it under lighter color shirts year round. Thanks you Anita!

Kind regards,
Your ANITA Team
Very comfortable, holds even large breasts in place. The wool feels nice on the skin and it looks good for a sports bra. I ordered 4 bras to choose from, and this was clearly the best.

Best regards, Your ANITA team
I have been looking for a comfortable everyday bra and one I can wear on adventures. This. Is. It. Shoot. I am going to get enough to wear them all week.
Review by Best Bra EVER Posted on
I really liked this bra but the cup size did not fit correctly. In other words I did not fill it up and I ordered an A. I don't think there is a size smaller than A. That is why only gave it 4 * because of the cup size, it puckered :( The returns process could not be easier so if I could find a size that works I would be ordering why this company.
Review by comfortlady Posted on
Natural textile, wireless but supportive of heavy high volume breasts, comfortable = my one and only. I would only wear this for the rest of my life. Pleeease release a lighter color and full black. I will buy them alllllll.
Review by Finally Posted on
The best and only sports bra that feels comfortable on the skin even when sweating profusely for hours, doesn't smell like synthetic fibers, and is comfortable and supportive at the same time. Please make sure to release this in a light color! Wear light, tight-fitting tops when exercising, especially in summer :-)
Review by brigitteM Posted on
Finally, there's a bra made of merino wool! But why does it have to be offered in such unattractive colors? Why aren't there subtle skin tones, bras that disappear under clothing? Why is it so difficult for us women who have this problem to find attractive underwear? It would also be great if this bra were available in a slightly less bulky and more discreet design for under T-shirts, not just as a sports bra. Petite women with smaller breasts would certainly appreciate it! Otherwise, a great product.
Review by Astrid Posted on
I bought this bra a couple of years ago and I love it - BUT if you made it in skin colors, I would wear it every day under regular clothing. The two tone gives it away and draws attention to itself. I wear light color clothes when it’s hot out and I want it to be subtle. Nobody has gray skin!
Review by Jenna Posted on
Your Anita Team ♥
I really love this bra. I wish it also came in a lighter color. The wool adds structure in a way that other wireless bras do not.
Review by fran Posted on
I'm usually a 34C in other brands and Anita Active Performance sports bra (another great travel sports bra), but the stretchy rib case band and seamed cups fit better in 32E (American 32DD). Note I went down one size in band and up two sizes in cup, which was my size in Anita's chart. My breasts are fuller on bottom and wide set and this style fit with less puckering on top. The merino wool is soft as cotton but better wicking. Cup seams show through snug t-shirts, but shape is more natural and separated than compression sports bras. Without any padding, it will roll flat for travel and be cooler in summer. I plan to wear it on a long international night flight and for hiking in Europe. So comfortable I might wear it every day at home and for exercise. Only criticism is straps have adjuster at top, which is less comfortable when fully extended on my extra long torso.
Review by Hiker Posted on
I have neurodermatitis and atopic eczema and this is the only bra that doesn't cause chafing, even when I'm hiking or doing sports. I now only wear the PanAlp Wool.
Review by Claudia Breuers Posted on
I ordered the bra because of Merino. I often go out in the mountains, and that's where I really appreciate Merino. It's particularly practical on tours lasting several days - thanks to Merino, you're relatively odor-free. I'd like to agree with the comment earlier - the bra is really, really great, I now wear it when I run, cycle, and do workouts. It feels so soft and comfortable and still offers good support.
Review by Marina Posted on
This bra is simply great. It fits perfectly, doesn't constrict and is super comfortable while still providing optimal support.
Review by Lausemaus Posted on
I bought this for workouts and hiking/backpacking trips and no matter how much I sweat, I can let the bra dry and re-wear it for another day of hiking and there is NO SMELL AT ALL. This is the best merino bra I have seen so far because the empty cups separate and provide enough support for hiking. Most merino sports bras have no cup shape and create mono-boob. This one is a must and I plan to order another.
Review by Alexandra Posted on
I bought the bra because of its merino material for multi-day hikes. I now use it for almost all other sports, and it also offers good support when jogging. The material really shows its strengths on longer distances - no chafing, good breathability and nothing smells unpleasant.
