  • High performance sweat wicking fabric

  • Signature style keyhole racer back
  • Compression style
  • Runs true to size
  • Available in white or black
  • Full coverage

This bra recieves rave reviews from wearers. It is moderately priced (around $20) and is rated for high impact activities. This garment features a classic compression method of containing bounce and providing motion control. What this means is that it presses the breasts to the body to control bounce. Compression style sports bras are best for A, B, and C cups, and a quality undergarment like this one will be both comfortable and effective for the cup sizes it is designed for. It does come as plus size sports bras (up to a 4 x), but if you have a D cup or higher, I would recommend sticking with Shock Absorber Bras or an Enell Bra, as this bra may not provide enough control for high impact activities for the larger busted woman.

This is a particularly good choice if you have a larger band size and smaller cup size. For instance, if you are looking for a 44b bra this will work very well for you even under strenuous activities.

Features

  • Good for low impact activities
  • Cami styling and details
  • Moisture wicking fabric
  • Color choices: black, white, purple, pink, lime

This bra is ideal for fashionistas looking for support for a light workout. It offers a medium level of support for smaller bust sizes (A and B). It is ideal for activities like walking or yoga. Because of it's cami styling and full coverage, it is also suitable to wear alone as a supportive work out top.

Do not buy this bra if you are a C cup or larger, or if you want to do high impact activities in it like running and jumping. It will not give good support for high impact activities and larger cup sizes.

Because it is a Champion sports bra it is made with wicking fabric. So if you do break a sweat the garment remains comfortable and non-chafing.

Recommended for A and B cup sizes and moderate to low activity levels.

For B, C, C, DD, and DDD I recommend these Champion sport bra styles:

This bra is rated for high impact activities and is ideal for a woman with a cup size of C or larger. It offers very strong support via both encapsulation and compression, which is the standard for creating a bra with control for a larger breasted women. It controls well even when running.

It has both a back hook closure with three settings and adjustable straps like a regular bra. The strap adjusters are at the front of the straps on this bra, which some people find uncomfortable. If you are very sensitive around the collar bone area, I would recommend a different style - such as Moving Comfort - Fiona style, as this style does not have the adjustments in the front.

Recommended for women who have C cups or larger and are looking for an adjustable bra with good motion control.
