    sport bras

    Does anyone have any feedback on the sport bras that TE sells on this site? I have primarily used sport bras made by New Balance and Nike. I recently bought a Sugio Jersey which I really like and so I was looking into getting a sport bra made my them or Shebeest (I think they sell Shebeest).

    Thanks

    no idea about TE's but patagonia makes an amazing bra - they feel great and wick away sweat very well.

    If you're talking about the Patagonia Active Sport Bra - one caveat. It's billed as a "high impact" bra which it most definitely is NOT. It would be fine for cycling. It's very comfy and I'm sure it wicks sweat very well. But it gives almost zero support. I returned the one I ordered as soon as I tried it on and realized that it didn't even support my B-cup boobs standing still and looking in the mirror - let alone any high-impact activities that I'd planned for it.

    I have a CW-X bra from this site. Some of the larger-breasted women swear by this bra and I think it probably would be great. But the B/C cup version is really more for the C cup ladies - not as much support for me as I'd like.

    Sports bras....

    I have the CW-X in 34DD and it's a bit snug but it has very good motion control I would highly recommend it

    If you don't have a lot to support, the Sugoi Fizz Bra is great. I love them and I can wear them with or without a shirt. Not too expensive, super comfortable. I get plenty of support and can run in it. Not sure how they'd feel for someone with bigger than a C cup would feel but you might want to try one.

    If you need real support, try this sports bra by Donna Karen: http://www.herroom.com/Donna-Karan-3...orts-Bra.shtml.

    It's not one you can wear without another top, but it is by far the most comfortable and supportive sports bra I have ever owned. I usually wear a 32DD but fit a 34D in this one.

    What do you think about the ones that zip in the front? I'm thinking it's a good idea but not sure how easy they are to put on. I'm a C cup. Anyone tried the zip in front bras?

    I bought a sports bra with a zip in front. It is a reputable company and the bra looked really solid. Until that one workout I did where the zipper broke and I had to hold the bra together while moving.

    No more for me.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a smaller cup sports bra? I'll look into the Patagonia, but every time I go to Sports Basement I end up egtting frustrated and leave. I'm using a Champion from Macy's and I hate it. My b-cup stretches it out and only looks like it would provide nice support when it's straight out of the dryer. I'm a 36b and I just need suggestions on good, durable, sports bras. Thanks!!
