    Question Sport Bras w/ Jerseys

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Hi Everyone!

    I posted on this forum last summer, and decided I'd come back to seek some information from anyone who might have any helpful tips, as you all did last time

    My question is - do any of you recommend any type of breathable sport bras? My jersey keeps me fairly cool, but I'm noticing a difference in temperature depending on what sport bra I wear underneath...any suggestions? (brand-wise or material-wise)

    Thanks!!

    No personal experience (I wear cheapo Fruit of the Loom) but how about Under Armor?

    I like the CW-X by Wacoal. Several different styles. Since the design allows them to use a lighter fabric and still be very supportive, the CW-X is my coolest and most breathable bra.

    (TE sells a couple styles of CW-X.)

    I am digging the Champion breathable line that is sold at Target. They are pretty cheap and I really like the fabric, pretty much seamless and enough support for a lightly built gal like me.

    I have Underarmor sports bras. I love them but I would not call them light and breathable.

    My vote is also for the champion bra at Target. It's good for my running or riding-enough support but very lightweight and breathable. Good luck!

    I am more of a fan when it comes to support than "breathe-ability", as well as I enjoy sweating when I work out.
    I enjoy it all.

    Depending on how much support you need you could get something with built-in support... but I, also, need too much of that to worry about "breathing" and I d on't work hard enough to sweat much anyway

    I also vote for Champion. (In fact I put a review of 3 of them on the apparel page).

    I second (or third) these bras. I was surprised--given the price--to find that I like them better than the more expensive models I've gotten elsewhere. Course, I'm a 34 A and don't need in the way of support, but that's a whole 'nother issue......

    Mine aren't real, so I have to look for support before anything else...

    Road Runner sports used to make a very supportive bra just for c/d cups, but last time I checked, I couldn't find them on the site. They're awesome, because unlike most high-intensity sports bras for larger breasts, the RRS bra doesn't look like underwear, so you can wear it by itself if you so choose.

    Another ditto here! Again, I don't need much support (particularly on a bike) but these are lightweight and very comfortable. And the price is right.

    I am a 34 A (so obviously support isn't an issue for me).
    I think I will give the Champion bras a try - on 95 degree days I need all the cool I can get

    yep, must agree on Champion. I've reviewed a bunch and I'm defiantly happy with them, not only for cycling but for running too.
