Thanks for the info, Mimi! I've been wishing for a wool sports bra for a while (love my Smartwool long underwear). Over the last couple of years, I've been adding more wool underlayers to my drawer, and getting really sick of my supposedly-wicking, but instead just wet & clammy bras. So after reading your review, I started looking around. None of the ski shops I've been to lately carry anything. Lots of Smartwool, but they don't make a bra. So I ordered two from TE, because I was sort of between sizes. Well, they came pretty quickly (and just in time for my Saturday ski). I tried them both on, and they both felt amazingly comfortable. I couldn't decide which one fit better, so my DH said "why don't you just keep both?". I said "because they were $50 apiece". He said "so, how often do you get something like this?". I said "two weekends ago at Target, I got two sports bras". Okay, they didn't really count ($14 Champion semi-wicking clammy ones). It feels pretty extravagant (I'm not into the whole fancy underwear thing, and I'm more likely to splurge on a jacket or a jersey).

I've had them for a week, and I love them! Yes, I still get sweaty, but I don't notice it. It's been 5 degrees, it's been 30 degrees. I've been overdressed, I've been underdressed. Very comfy! No restrictive band across the bottom - just soft & stretchy all over (the knit is different in different areas). I do wish the straps were a bit farther apart, but otherwise perfect. I'm pretty lacking in the boobage department, so I don't need much support - can't give much input there. I probably won't use them for running, but they are great for skiing, snowshoeing, I'm sure for biking.

I have a hard time imagining wool giving any support at all. Is it really there?

I have to tell you that I have a huge crush on your husband. Just kidding, but what a dear to encourage you to keep both. Enjoy!

Sandra, whose husband?

sorry, I was posting but other posts got ahead of me. Skierchickie's husband for this:

Truthfully, I have a husband that is that sweet, but I hope she realizes she has a keeper.
