Sports Bra that actually "wicks"

[OakLeaf]

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.

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

are there any sports bras for the smaller girls that will give us some bumps? When squished I look like I have just mosquito bites.

Try the Alexis from Moving Comfort: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodMC_505507.html This link shows the the 2008 colors. 2009 colors will be both prints and solids. The bra has removeable padded cups that give a VERY nice shape.

You're welcome.
I was back in the warehouse earlier today, and saw that we've just received a shipment from Moving Comfort that contains the new Alexis Bra colors. Should be up on the site within a few days.

(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.

This is my new fav for running: http://www.movingcomfort.com/dyn_pro...00062&k=120385

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.

Second best is: http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/e...p-/1001143-001

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.

I recommend titlenine.com for the best selection of sports bras in the widest range of styles and sizes.

Are the vertical stripes slenderizing and the horizontals enhancing?

I like the brands CWX and ShockAbsorbers.

I have a few different CWXs I bought from here on TE. The ShockAbsorbers brand is a UK one. A nice bra site is FigLeaves.com (they have both a UK site and USA site).

I am a cotton hater. It will just leave you soaked. All of my bras are the silky wicking fabric. Works well I think.

[woohoo]

Don't know if you're still looking but I find these great for running/cycling/basketball/gym stuff...
