    Is there a good supportive tank for larger chests?

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    There are some hot days that I just hate to have on both a bra and a sleeveless shirt and would love to wear a tank with a built in bra. Problem is that I am older (i.e. not "perky" if you know what I mean), larger breasted, and need some good support. Is there any such nice wicking tank with pockets that has a good built in bra?

    I purchased some racer back tanks that were marked down at Sierra trading post that were made for runners.(around $23.00) They have a small back pocket large enough for a cell phone and maybe a small small snack, but they are snug and supportive. I would say that I wouldn't have to wear a bra under them...I am not a runner, but for biking they are perfect. The name brand was "moving comfort", and I also purchased the Sporthill Shimmel offered by TE and that has support also. I prefer to wear bras under these just because of the "shivver factor" when I make a pit stop at a store while riding.

    I've had luck with both the Eurohalter and the Clincher by Terry. The support in the Eurohalter is lighter than in the Clincher, but the high necklines on both tops are great for keeping things where they should be...at least on my stupidly large chest.

    I have two Moving Comfort tanks, and I'm very happy with them. I bought them when I was a 38 C-D and they were quite supportive then. (now I'm a 34 C and they don't fit as well but I still like them.)

    CW-X makes a tank with a very supportive bra in it. TE sells it, but I haven't bought one. Yet. (I do have the bra, and it's my favorite.)

    I wore this top for the first time yesterday. As a 34-D, tanks like this are usually worthless but I am pretty pleased with it. Of course, hubby is immensely pleased.

    I considered that top but thought about the odd tan lines so I opted for the Performance Halter shown on the same page.

    Obviously, I do not share your pain. If i ever get a larger chest I'll let you know how this works out.

    I'm already a road map of weird tan lines. Actually, let's call me the entire gazeteer of tan lines and I'm never going to be seen in public in a swimming suit again so what do I care?

    Wow, zencentury, I'd love to have your arms. Very nice!

    I wear only tops with built-in bras because I simply find them to be more comfortable than wearing a sports bra and a top. I choose the darker rather than the lighter colors in order to minimize my size. Also, the longer they are, the better they are for me.

    Well, shucks, I was going to mention your boobage, too, but hesitated. You're doing great in both areas.

    I have the boob issue and get my bras from www.titlenine.com They have wonderful wicking bras that make it a lot easier to wear when you are working out and stuff. Plus I never have problems ordering from them either. Good luck!

    VERY prettty top. I can see why your hubby likes it! May I ask what size you got? And how it fits besides the chest part? Thanks!
