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.

Thanks Sandra! I know - he IS a keeper! In spite of what I may say or think once in a great while.

Oakleaf: Probably not much. I don't need much - it's fine for me. Like I said, I'm pretty sure I won't use them for running. They are 2 layers everywhere, and different knit in different areas, so there is more stretch in some areas than in others. I can't really say if it would work for somebody with more of a bust than I have. Probably great for biking, anyway (I won't know until at least April). Seemed to work fine tonight for hauling firewood into the basement and playing in the snow with my kindling-stealing dog.
