    Talking Sports bra.

    Funny it really is when one is reading all the forums (for woman) on sports esspecially cycling and the loads of words being spoken about parts, materials, nutricion, training etc.

    There is one thing that is very important and by most of us (including myself until recently) about a clothing item we all wear everyday, but not the specific sports edition.

    What is it, well a sports bra.

    When i was searching the internet i stumbled on this site http://www.shockabsorber.co.uk/bounceometer/shock.html

    I was shocked from what i saw and what the effects where and from that moment on i realized how neccessary it is to use one.

    I hope this information is usefull and that it is just as necessary 'equipment' on a bike/rider than any other item on a bike.

    Personally i got the action sportjock due to it's back construction wich i like very much.

    In order to give you that little kick in deciding a yes or no, just think of thea bags .....

    Makes me wonder why he was looking for a sports bra.
    A special occasion, perhaps.

    not sure what Underwire would do when jumping rope, i thought it was super-supportive.

    Cycling's not too hard to find a bra for, but I always have a hard time finding a really supportive d cup sportsbra to run in that doesn't look like underwear (I like to go out in just a sports bra when it's really hot).
    There is a plethora of very good ones with clasps & whatnot...
    Because not every fast cyclist is a toothpick...

    Sports Bras (Plus Size Women Riders)

    I've tried a few sports bras for cycling and if you are a "D" or larger you know what I mean when you want comfort and support. The best one so far for me is made by Goddess. I use there 5056 Soft Cup. The New Goddess 5056 plus size sport bras make a confident statement for the plus size athlete which includes fit, function, and fashion. Soft-Cup features performance based fabrics and a better fit. Sports Bra's X-Static cup lining provides anti-microbial and helps wick moisture. Bra straps are wide and adjusted for support and comfort.

    I am partial to UnderArmour w/mesh back for cycling which is a little more relaxed and comfortable, and CW-X for long running. The CW-X bras do a very good job at stabilizing for running!
