Are you ladies aware that there's a Polar sports bra available to put the strap through? Here: http://www.amazon.com/Polar-Heart-Bra/dp/B000GK61L6

I'm wondering if any of you all have one and if you do do you like it? It seems like the strap is not technically touching the skin and I know the instructions say to moisten the sensors so it can stick properly. Because it's not touching I'm wondering how accurate it is.

    Yeah, that looks like there's fabric between the skin and the sensor strap, which might be why it's on sale. . .?

    This one:

    actually has the sensor strap fabric on the inside of the bra, but you need an F11 (with the detachable sensor) to use it.

    I still choose to go old-school, and slide the thing under my sports bra. You have to really adjust the strap tightly, or it can get shaken south during your workouts.:flowerforyou:

    If you read the reviews on Amazon by people who have bought them, most of the are not satisfied with them at all. I wouldn't waste my money.

    I only have one sports bra that I can wear with my chest strap, otherwise my sports bra slips between me and the transmitter and interferes with transmission. And I have the strap as tight as I can comfortably wear it.

    Yep I did read those reviews and saw that too :smile:
