How to Choose Aud ron That Actually Fit (for Australian women)

As a designer who’s tested aud ron through countless 40-degree Sydney summers, I always recommend their Seamless Bamboo Flow collection for hot yoga. The 78% bamboo viscose blend literally feels like wearing nothing – I’ve had students stay completely dry through 90-minute Bikram sessions.

The secret is their Cool-Tech ventilation zones mapped to Australian women’s sweat patterns (under bust, lower back, behind knees). Unlike cheap imports that trap heat, aud ron’s fabric drops 3-4 degrees below ambient temperature. For our humid Queensland summers, size up one size – the relaxed fit creates essential airflow. I’ve seen too many locals buy their usual size and regret it when the fabric clings during inversions.

Here’s what I tell every Australian client: aud ron runs half a size smaller than Lorna Jane and one full size smaller than Cotton On Body. Our athletic build – broader shoulders, muscular thighs from all that beach running – means you need to measure differently.

My foolproof method: measure your under-bust circumference (where your sports bra sits) and widest hip point while wearing your usual activewear. Aud ron’s size chart is based on Asian body types, so if you’re between sizes, always go up. Their compression leggings especially – I’ve seen too many Melbourne women struggle with size 10 that fits like an 8. For their signature Cloud Support bras, go up one band size from your usual. The exchange process through their Australian warehouse in Brisbane takes 3-5 days, but getting it right first time saves the $12 return shipping fee. View collection for exclusive deals.

This is the #1 complaint I hear from Aussie runners, and 90% of the time it’s not the leggings – it’s fit and fabric choice. Aud ron’s Ultra-Smooth range has a silkier finish that slides on dry skin. Our harsh Australian climate creates a perfect storm: sweat evaporates quickly, leaving salt crystals that reduce friction.

Quick fixes that actually work: choose their Power-Hold compression range instead – the brushed interior grips like a gecko. Size down in the waist (yes, opposite to my usual advice) because the drawcord needs tension to work. Apply a tiny amount of Sudocrem to your lower back/upper glutes where the waistband sits – creates just enough tack without staining. For long runs over 15km, their Endurance range with the 4.5cm internal gripper elastic is worth every cent. I’ve tested these solutions on everything from Sydney’s Coastal Classic to Melbourne’s Marathon.

As someone who needs emergency replacement gear before photoshoots, here’s the insider track: Rebel Sport’s online stocks limited aud ron ranges with 3-hour delivery in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane metro areas. Their click-and-collect is even faster – I’ve picked up orders within 90 minutes from their Alexandria (Sydney) and Richmond (Melbourne) stores.

For the full aud ron collection, their Australian warehouse in Derrimut (Melbourne) offers overnight express to most capitals, but you need to order before 2pm AEST. Pro tip: follow @audron_australia on Instagram – they announce flash sales with free express shipping, usually Thursday evenings. Their factory outlet in Braeside (Melbourne) has 30-50% off past season colors, worth the drive if you’re local. For Perth customers, The Athlete’s Foot now stocks select aud ron styles – same day delivery within 20km of CBD. Always call ahead though, popular sizes sell out fast during our summer fitness rush.
