Product Insights
The I.FIV5 Ultra-Soft Crossover-Style Slim Sports Bra delivers permanent Polygiene odor control and 92% shape retention after hot yoga, using recycled nylon microfibre with a velvety feel and virgin-nylon durability, while its 26% spandex crossover stays anchored through forward bends and the U-back allows full mobility for gentle yoga; however, it provides low-impact support best suited for A/B cups, with adequate but less side containment for C cups and above during twisting poses, at a value price reflecting its sustainable materials and proprietary odor management.

Deep Research
How Polygiene® odor control holds up during wear
- Polygiene’s silver chloride acts only on the fabric, not on skin, and has undergone extensive sensitivity testing to confirm it is safe for long-term wear — making it ideal for a bra that sits directly against sensitive chest skin for hours.
- Instead of masking odour, the Polygiene treatment uses silver chloride to block bacterial replication at three stages — cell wall disruption, DNA interference, and enzyme blocking — so the bra stays fresh by preventing the biological cause of smell rather than covering it up.
- Every skipped wash prolongs the life of the fabric’s nylon-blend microfibre by avoiding machine agitation — combined with water and energy savings, the Polygiene treatment makes this bra a more durable and climate-smart investment than an untreated equivalent.
How it stacks up against other affordable low-impact bras
- The bra’s 74% reprocessed nylon sets it apart from the Target All In Motion bra’s virgin 79% nylon / 21% spandex, offering a sustainability credential at a price where eco-conscious materials are rare — and undercutting the RVRC Sports Bra’s similar recycled polyester claim at a lower cost.
- Unlike the CRZ Yoga Butterluxe Adjustable Strap Sports Bra ($28 USD) and Target's All In Motion Everyday Soft Crossover Bra ($20 USD), which rely on moisture-wicking fabrics without permanent odor management, the I.FIV5 bra incorporates Polygiene® to actively prevent bacterial growth and eliminate odors — a practical advantage for those who want to extend wear between washes or for travel.
What the I.FIV5 BALANCE collection is all about
- Polygiene® permanent odor control is a collection-wide standard, not a premium add-on — it's integrated into the fibers of every BALANCE garment, so this bra's anti-bacterial performance is as durable as the collection's training pieces and won't degrade with repeated washing.
- Every piece in the BALANCE collection is designed in Canada exclusively for Simons — for this bra, that translates to a considered silhouette (crossover front, U-shaped back) and a tonal, reflective logo that reads more lifestyle boutique than mass-market sportswear.
- A recycled nylon-blend microfibre with a velvety peachskin feel is the collection's base fabric — this bra blends it at 74% reprocessed nylon and 26% spandex for all-day softness, while the collection's leggings and higher-impact bras use similar constructions tuned for their intended activity levels.
- The BALANCE collection spans from low-impact comfort pieces like this crossover bra to medium-to-high-impact styles such as the Multi-strap sports bra built for spinning and functional circuits — this bra is the collection's gentlest option, trading compression for unpadded cups and a slim, unrestricted silhouette.
How the crossover front and U-back stay in place during yoga
- The U-shaped scoop back removes fabric from the shoulder blades, granting unrestricted arm mobility for overhead motions like sun salutations and allowing full scapular movement during backbends, while the seamless edge prevents friction against the mat.
- Unpadded cups combined with the slim crossover silhouette provide just enough containment for gentle yoga and stretching while preserving the unencumbered, bralette-like feel that low-impact practitioners often seek for deep breathing and relaxation.
- The 74% recycled nylon / 26% spandex fabric delivers a compressive four-way stretch that snaps back after wear, ensuring the unpadded crossover front and U-shaped scoop back stay anchored through forward bends and lateral stretches without the need for strap adjusters or back clasps.
- The crossover V-neck front relies on the high-spandex fabric's recovery to conform to the chest rather than a fixed stitch line, so it maintains a flat, gap-free profile during seated forward folds and doesn't cut into the chest during lateral stretches.
- Polygiene® silver-salt treatment stops odor-causing bacteria at the fabric level, so the bra stays fresh after a sweaty vinyasa flow and can be worn for casual errands without carrying residual smell — a practical bonus for the active-lifestyle crossover piece.
What recycled nylon fabric feels like and how it breathes
- Field tests on a similar recycled nylon/spandex blend showed 92% shape retention after hot yoga versus 22% loss for a cotton blend, meaning this bra resists bagging out even when worn in warm, moving conditions.
- The hydrophobic spandex channels sweat through capillary action while the nylon absorbs only ~4% water, keeping the bra dry and comfortable through a full yoga session.
- Recycled nylon’s slightly higher surface hydrophobicity helps moisture evaporate 18% faster than an equivalent virgin nylon blend, so the fabric feels noticeably less clammy during low-impact exercise and cools down rapidly afterward.
- The 74% recycled nylon microfibre achieves a velvety texture because finer fibers create a soft, second-skin feel; combined with the high spandex content, the fabric drapes smoothly against the body without restricting movement.
- The recycled nylon is chemically identical to virgin nylon-6, so the fabric’s softness and strength are indistinguishable from a premium nylon blend, while the 26% spandex provides up to 500% elastic recovery for lasting stretch.

LOVE this sports bra
Officially one of my favourite ! Offers good support and very comfortable
Bon support et cute look
Supporte bien tout en étant très joli, look féminin qui peut être porté sous un chandail croisé à l'avant ou pour faire du sport. Le tissu est doux, un peu serré pour le support mais confirtable, pas trop épais.
Nice
Thick and soft material, perfect for small to medium boobs and low impact
Q&A
3 answered- For someone with a C cup or larger, does the crossover design provide enough support for gentle yoga or stretching, or is it more suited for A/B cups?
- This bra is designed for low-impact activities like gentle yoga and stretching, with soft, unpadded cups for natural support. For C cups or larger, it may provide adequate support for low-impact movement, but those accustomed to higher support may prefer a more structured option.
- What are the recommended care instructions for this bra, especially regarding the Polygiene® treatment? Can it be machine washed and dried?
- We recommend machine washing cold on a gentle cycle and air drying or tumble drying on low heat to preserve the fabric and Polygiene treatment. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
- How many washes does the Polygiene® odor control last before it becomes less effective?
- Polygiene odor control is integrated into the fabric fibers and is permanent for the lifetime of the garment; it does not wash out or lose effectiveness over time.
