  Question No.1
  Are socks with individual toes warmer than standard socks?
  

  Answer :
  Hello sir,
  
  Thank you for your interest in our products.
  "Toe" socks, compared with normal socks with exactly the same composition and assembly, aren't any warmer. However, "toe" socks do help to reduce blisters and offer more freedom of movement.

  Question No.2
  I have quite a large bust. Which type of bra should I use for running?
  

  Answer :
  

  Hello madam,
  
  Thanks for your question.
  Firstly, you need a bra with good coverage for all your bust. Prefer non-elasticated straps, quite wide, and with a cross-over back (muscle back) as this will provide better support.
  Of course, everyone has their own preferences and some women don't like to wear muscle back straps.
  At Decathlon, the sports bra that offers the best support for large busts is the Kalenji Sportance 1000. It's available in black and white, sizes 32 B/C/D, 34 B/C/D, 36 B/C/D, 38 C/D, 40 D.

  Question No.3
  I use lots of Kalenji running clothes (with Equarea concept) and I'm very satisfied with them.
  
  1- Can you confirm that I don't need softener when washing these garments?
  2- Why is tumble drying not recommended?
  Does it affect the quick drying properties?
  
  Thanks in advance for your reply and congratulations for such good products.
  
  

  Answer :
  Sir,
  Thank you for your question and your interest in the Equarea brand.
  
  You can use softener when washing your Equarea garments, it won't in any way affect the quick drying. But because the fabric is made from micro-fibres, softener shouldn't really be necessary.
  
  You can also tumble dry the garments, which won't damage the quick drying properties. However, the fabric dries so quickly that it's not really necessary to tumble dry.
  If the t-shirt is washed on a fast spin, it should be dry 2 hours after you remove it from the machine.
