Levitation Sports Bra
Overview
The lululemon Levitation Sports Bra is a high-impact running bra built to feel much lighter than it looks. It uses soft, performance-knit fabric with moulded cups and engineered stretch bonding at the underbust and sides to hold the chest securely while allowing movement and breathability. The bra’s removable cup inserts and free-cut armholes let you dial the feel from more coverage to a near-second-skin sensation, while adjustable straps and a hook-and-eye underband provide micro-adjustments for fit. This is a strong choice for runners and high-intensity athletes who want encapsulation and separation without the thickness of traditional run bras—or anyone who prioritizes a featherlight, chafe-free layer on long workouts.
Key Features
- Moulded cups with pockets for optional removable inserts — choose shape and coverage or remove for a lighter feel
- Engineered stretch bonding at underbust and side panels — provides flexible, targeted support without bulky seams
- Adjustable shoulder straps plus hook-and-eye closure at the underband — lets you fine-tune fit and tension
- Brushed ribbed underband and bonded construction — improves comfort, reduces irritation and keeps the band in place
- Free-cut armholes and lightweight performance knit — designed for breathability and full shoulder mobility during running
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Featherlight feel despite high-impact support — moulded cups provide encapsulation without bulky padding
- Customizable fit: removable inserts, adjustable shoulder straps and hook-and-eye underband
- Bonded seams and brushed ribbed underband reduce chafe and keep the bra stable on long runs
- Free-cut armholes and breathable knit improve range of motion and ventilation
- Convertible coverage — remove inserts for a lighter feel or add them for extra shaping
Cons
- Premium price compared with basic sports bras
- May not provide the firm compression some very busty runners prefer (it focuses on encapsulation/separation)
- Removable inserts can shift if not positioned carefully during high-speed intervals
- Hook-and-eye closure adds an extra layer that can show under very thin or tight tops
Recommendations
- Distance runners who want secure encapsulation without thick, heavy cups
- High-intensity group fitness or plyometrics where separation and minimal bounce matter
- Anyone who prefers a customizable bra — remove or add inserts depending on run length or outfit
- Travel or packing — lightweight construction and low bulk make it easy to layer and stow
