sport bras

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!!

I have a Champion Moving Comfort which is comfortable, but it doesn't stop the bouncing. So I'm still looking.

I've found that the best way to shop is to bite the bullet and order several styles online, try them, and send back the ones that don't work. The local stores just don't have enough selection.

Title9 is having some "bra fitting" events in the CA stores this month, for what it's worth.

Jenny, which Champion do you have? They have many different styles. These are my favorite. And they're on sale now! They change the name every couple of weeks, but they're pretty unmistakable from the picture. (They are not the same as the lower priced, similar-looking C9 by Champion bras that you can get at Target.)

Anyway, what they're currently calling the Shiny Seamless bra is very supportive for my 34B - it's one of the few bras I can wear one layer for high-impact activity, and have no bouncing at all, yet they don't make it hard for me to breathe. Unfortunately TE doesn't carry Champion.

But don't put them in the dryer, I don't think any sports bras will be "durable" with that kind of treatment. Stretch fabrics and heat don't mix.

Re: zip front sports bras, I only ever owned a cheap one. It was very sexy and reasonably supportive, but the base of the zipper chafed like crazy.
