The Best Bra For: Yoga (Light Impact)

For most yoga practices, you only need light to moderate support from your sports bra. The Seamless Option Bra Top from Athleta gives you the support you need, even when jumping back into plank. It comes in Black Maha, with stylish designs, so you can opt for a shirt or just sport, well, your sports bra. This is made of Athleta's trademark Skinlift yarn, with low impact removable cups in sizes A to C. Adjust the straps to wear as a cami or as a racerback for added support. $36

The Best Bra For: Skiing and Snow Sports (Medium Impact)

For the ultimate authority on everything alpine and athletic, look no further than The North Face. The bra's name, Bounce-B-Gone, is pretty self-explanatory (just picture moguls skiing on the Winter Olympics, and you'll get the idea). The bra's unique features include a wide elastic hem that adds support, and a Lycra compression fabric that stretches with your movement. An added plus is the moisture wicking feature where sweat is pulled away from your skin to the outer layer of the bra's fabric, where it dries more quickly. Even when it's cold outside, if you're skiing, you're sweating. $28

The Best Bra For: Horseback Riding (Extreme Impact)

No scanty little camis here, ladies. Horseback riding has just as much impact as running, so it should come as no surprise that the PureLime Ladies Compression High Impact Sports Bra is extremely full coverage. It's designed with bustier women in mind, and though featured on equestriancollections.com, it can also dub for running and aerobic activities. Coolmax material allows quick drying, shaped shoulder straps and molded cups. This bra also is devoid of side seems, which helps prevent chafing. The special feature includes compression straps that limit up and down movement - perfect for trotting, and still helpful with cantering. Now if you could just get that horse to gallop ... $72
