X2. Need to 1: have enough boob compression to keep the sweater puppies in place; 2) have enough coverage to hide the nips. Racerbacks only work so well (I have a bunch of them, mostly Sugoi) but my tried and true long mileage bra is from Champion, and has 3 settings in the back and adjustable straps (works well for shorties like me) - and has like 3 or 4 layers over the nips. I have had this bra since (I kid you not) 2004 and it is still going strong.
Erin, check out some of the bras from Moving Comfort. I have recently found this brand and it is amazing - and - bonus - very low on the price point too! ;-)

X3.
I am thinner now but the wetsuit 'creep' was my nemesis. Before I lost weight, I was the about the same size as Andy and Erin. The T1 top would end up bunching around my waist because my hips were more hour-glass shaped (OK, wide) than the top would accommodate. I realize that most of your customer base is sleek SoCal six-foot, size zero's, but the rest of us in the heartland would like clothes that fit too :-)
Although I love my 400 Mile Shorts, I too, was less than pleased with the contrast stitching that ONLY works if you are one of the super-skinny gals described above.
