    Sports bra, for sure. I can't fathom sweating on a climb with an underwire digging in!

    I often wear a regular non-padded cotton underwire bra. It wouldn't work for higher-impact activities, but it's sufficient for road biking, and I find it very comfortable. The issue of unzipping rarely comes up (Saturday's ride had me in baselayer, jersey, jacket and vest...).

    Definitely a wicking sports bra. I wish I could wear a sports bra to the office. They are much more comfortable

    Can I just say that for some reason, this thread causes that Shakira song "Underneath Your Clothes" to pop into my head.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Can I just say you ladies just never cease to surprise me. I just had to laugh at the armor piercing comment!

    I really like my moving comfort bras. Have a regular bra for every day and sports bra for the bike.

    Thanks for this topic. After reading the comments, I'm considering Ibex. The Balance Light and Balance Support seem to be one-layer. For those who have tried them, is it so thin that it becomes obvious when you are cold?, know what I mean? I may be wearing it w/o a shirt or under a very thin tee-shirt, and I don't want to gather unwanted attention.

    Anybody into Patagonia undergarments?

    I just got a Balance cami in off-white on sale, and let's just say it will ONLY ever be a base layer.

    The black one is fine for yoga, etc. The fabric is thin, but the color hides a lot. The off-white, not so much.
