Unveiled back in January by the Canadian startup OMSignal, the OMbra can track biometric data in real time via a small clip-on data box recording distance, heart rate, breathing rate/rhythm and can even understand when the body is in a good enough state to hit the gym again.
Data can be stored on the box and synced to the companion app, which will only work with iPhones for the time being. There’s also a decent amount of third party app support with Apple Health, Strava, Nike+, MapMyFitness and Runtastic.
OMSignal says it’s put a lot of work into the actual design of the garment to help address some of the biggest issues many women find when wearing a sports bra. OMbra uses a stretchable and light fabric that conforms to the shape of the body during exercise. It also features mesh panels in the front and the back of the bra to make it more breathable and uses fabrics that are great at fending off sweat. There are also adjustable bands and wide straps to ensure a comfortable fit and secure movement. The padded, removable cups means it can also be adjusted to accommodate different cup shapes and sizes.
The OMbra and OMrun is available to buy at US$169 from the OMsignal website now. Available in XS/S, S/M, M/L and L/XL sizes, you’ll receive the bra, the clip-on box and a USB charger. It’s advised that you use the size guides to ensure you get the best tracking experience and fit.
