Sports Bra that actually "wicks"

[OakLeaf]

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!

Segoi makes amazing sports bras that wick and also 'let the heat out'. I am a small woman but have a larger 'top' ... which gets hot and itchy with other sports bras. I have about 15 of these - won't wear anything else.

Segoi saved my love for sports!

I love my adidas one. Its suitable formy smaller size and doesnt bunch up or hurt armpits.I dont seem to be sweaty when I wear it, either. So id say it wicks nicely. Dries quick too.
I fancy that wool bra,it gets cold here!!

i just get the cheapo lycra crop top type 'aspire' ones from sports authority (B+ cup) and never had a wet bra yet from sweat, even when my jerseys have been sweaty -- and that's riding in FL-- pretty supportive too.

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.

I haven't worn it cycling yet but I recently bought one of the Ibex wool bras and it's a seriously well designed and made garment. Most impressed And they're made from NZ merino! Very cool

I think it will be fab for those activities (not just cycling) where you sweat and then you cool down and then you sweat again and cool down again, and cotton just gets cold and clammy and uncomfortable. Wool is warm when wet

(quoting because it's too late to edit) For comparison purposes, the support level of the Ibex bra is about halfway between the C9 and the shiny Champion, IMO.

It comes in a 32 C (yay!) and doesn't overly squish, but gives very good support. I'm sure the guy at the running shop thought I was nutso jumping up and down in the dressing room (the curtain didn't come down to the floor, so he could probably see my feet jumping up and down). But, that's the best way I've found to see if a bra is going to provide me with enough support.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like TE carries either of these.

The Moving Comfort has Coolmax, but not DriLayer which is Moving Comfort's "wicking" property. It gets soaked when I work out. The Under Armour supposedly has "Two-ply HeatGear® construction accelerates moisture transport," but it is always soaked as well. I guess I just sweat a lot.

Ah, but we do!
