AAVA Armoured Sports Bra fabrics are made from recycled nylon and polyester, sourced from waste such as old fishing nets and industrial plastics. These fabrics help reduce waste and are certified with the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, guaranteeing skin safety. The fabrics are light, soft, sweat-wicking and stretchable.

All AUAU Athletics® fabrics and materials are sourced from and produced in Europe under fair working conditions that pay fair living wages.

The impact foam is remarkably soft and flexible, only 4,8 mm thick, but capable of absorbing 90% of impact energy, stiffening to form a protective shell when under pressure or subject to external impact. It eliminates the bulk that most protective apparel has without compromising protection. Its open-cell technology makes it suitable for repeated impact protection. The material will remain effective and maintain its performance hit after hit. Plus, it features Microban® antimicrobial technology to inhibit the growth of stain- and odour-causing bacteria, mould and mildew.

The AAVA offers inside pockets to insert hardshell breast protection cups. The cups can be used in addition to the impact foam protecting the breast tissue. The impact foam can also be removed.

When choosing a sports bra size, it is best to base the size on your under-breast / under-pecs measurement, as 80% of support should come from the band sitting in this area.

The correct care for your AUAU Athletics® product will increase its longevity, which is better for you and the environment. Please follow these instructions.

Rinse after each use - Rinse with cold water after every use and hang it up to dry. This prevents unwanted odours and will allow for fewer washes and longer-lasting products.

Machine wash cold or hand wash - We recommend washing your product with no more than 30°C/86° F to a maximum of 40°C/104° F. The Microban® Antimicrobial treatment of our impact foam renders higher temperatures unnecessary.

Washing your product in an Eco-Washing bag such as the GUPPYFRIEND® washing bag with further increase the longevity of your product while filtering microplastic fibres out before they pollute water.

If you want to further increase the longevity, we recommend you use a no-rinse laundry product such as SOAK. Soak your garment for 15 Minutes, squeeze out water and hang dry.

Line Dry or Lay Flat - Dry your AUAU Athletics® products by hanging them or laying them flat. Never put them in the dryer.

Absolute No, Nos - Do not store your product in a way that folds the impact foam, as this can cause the foam to break. Instead, lay flat or hang. Do not use softeners or chemical wash. Never put your AUAU Athletics® product in the dryer.
