Product Insights
The I.FIV5 Padded-Strap Cross-Back Sports Bra delivers high-impact support at $59 CAD, undercutting the Under Armour Infinity 2.0 by $11 while offering permanent Polygiene odor control and moisture-wicking fabric. Its adjustable three-position underband hook accounts for 37.1% of bounce reduction, and cross-back straps distribute load, reduce digging, and improve shoulder posture. The three-position hook system also extends bra lifespan by allowing band tightening as elastics relax, and the back hook closure simplifies removal after sweaty workouts. However, for D/DD cups, compression-style flattening maximizes support at the cost of a flattened chest. The bra is true to size but recommends sizing up if between bands.

Deep Research
How this bra compares to other high-impact options
- At $59 CAD, the I.FIV5 comes in $11 below the $70 CAD Under Armour Infinity 2.0 high-impact bra, delivering competition-grade moisture management, permanent Polygiene odor control, and a three-setting hook closure — a combination that positions the Simons-exclusive label as a higher-spec alternative for the price.
Advantages of the back hook closure for high-impact workouts
- Because the closure provides multiple adjustment points, you can customize the band’s tightness to your exact comfort level — loosening on days you feel constricted or tightening down for a high-intensity session — a degree of personal fit that non-adjustable pullover sports bras sacrifice.
- Unlike pullover styles that must be wrestled over the head when saturated with sweat, a back hook closure unfastens completely so you can remove the bra without stretching a wet, tight band across your shoulders — a benefit explicitly engineered into high-support bras for this very reason, as evidenced by the 'easy hook & eye closure for easy on & off' language common across performance models.
- 'Encapsulation style, padded cups, nylon, adjustable underband and high neck drop accounted for 37.1% of breast movement reduction variance' in a 2020 study of 98 sports bras — meaning the hook closure's ability to cinch the band precisely is not a convenience feature but a significant contributor to the bounce reduction this product promises.
- The three-position hook closure allows you to move to a tighter setting as the band's elastane inevitably relaxes with washing and wear, effectively tripling the usable life before the bra must be replaced — a principle that turns the closure into a built-in longevity feature rather than just a fit aid.
How padded criss-cross straps affect comfort and support
- When straps cross at the back, they form a unified anchor point that resists the upward and forward pull of high-impact motions — spreading load across a larger area of the upper back and shoulders, which reduces the isolated digging that straight straps create during lateral and overhead movements common in HIIT, tennis, or running.

Q&A
3 answered- Does the bra run true to size for band and cup, or should I consider sizing up/down based on typical sports bra fit?
- This bra runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual band and cup size; if you are between band sizes, consider sizing up for additional comfort during high-impact activity.
- Is the Polygiene odour control treatment permanent or does it fade after a certain number of washes?
- Polygiene odour control is a permanent treatment that lasts the lifetime of the garment. It does not wash out.
- For D/DD sizes, does the bra have molded cups or seams for shape and separation, or is it a compression-style bra?
- For D/DD cup sizes, this is a compression-style sports bra without molded cups or seams; it flattens the chest for maximum support during high-impact activity.
