Sports Bra that actually "wicks"

[OakLeaf]

It's not a bit itchy. That's what's so great about Merino. Size-wize, I'm a 34 B-/A+ and a Small fits me fine.

how thin is it? will I be giving the guys a free show?

Well you certainly can't wear it on its own.

But it's not see-through at all.

Not-very-thick I guess is an answer.

I don't know, I have a black one and I can't see anything through it. It might be a little thin in white I suppose, but TE doesn't carry them in white. I guess it would depend on how tight it fits, too; as I mentioned my cup size is pretty small. I don't know why you couldn't wear it on its own (in situations where you'd wear other sports bras on their own); there are no hooks or strap adjusters or anything that screams "underwear."

If you're wondering whether your nipples will protrude, mine do no matter what I wear so I can't really help you there.

I love the little saying on the inside of the band. You will have to buy one to know what it says.

It's not currently available in white. For Spring, there will be an ivory. Also, they will be making a few more incarnations of it, including a "bralette" for small cups/light support, as well as a more supportive version that has convertible straps (criss cross or regular).

I have had good luck with Champion bras (from www.championcatalog.com, not the C9 brand you can get at Target), particularly the seamless models. They are comfortable, supportive and wick as well as anything else I've tried. I'm a 34A, if that makes a difference. Two or three times a year they have huge sales where all of the bras are $19.99 each -- I usually buy a few every time they have this sale.

I'm not sure "wicking" means that you won't have a soaked bra at the end of your run/ride. I have several different brands of athletic bras (Under Armour, Moving Comfort, and Nike); all of them claim to be wicking, and all of them are soaked through when I finish my workouts. However, to me, this means that the fabric is pulling the sweat away from my skin, which, I think is the goal. Even my "wicking" jerseys and running tops are soaked through when I finish working out. I would love to be dry when I finish my workouts, but I sure haven't found a way to make that happen yet!

For me the C9 bras are actually fine for cycling. For running I do need the greater support of the Champion bras that look very similar to the C9 ones.
