Sports bras that look good on their own?

Triathlon Forum
1

I’m adding another sports bra post to the mix :wink: I run a sports bra and shorts in the summer, and I am looking for some that fit well, and maybe come in some cool colors or two colors on one, that look good on their own (not white). I have had the best luck with nike and underarmor. I have broad shoulders, and am smallish on the boob size (big A/small B). My biggest problem with sports bras is that usually when i have enough support, the strap is too tight since i have a big rib cage. any suggestions would be great!

I also tend to rock the under armor bras. They are a bit pricey though. I would suggest you check out teamestrogen.com if you haven’t been to it yet, as they tend to have some great sales on women’s running/ tri stuff!

I went to www.bradiva.com, owned by a STer. I bought 4 new bras and love them all.

There is a Champion that is super comfy that I wore the other day for a run. http://.bradiva.com/shop/champion/chfriction.html
I haven’t worked out in the Hind yet but I think it will be the coolest temp-wise: http://www.bradiva.com/shop/hind/hndvent.html

Almost all my other ones are worn out so having one of the gals on ST own a business that sells bras was a perfect opportunity to buy some more :slight_smile:

I am small boobed, but have broad shoulders and a wide ribcage. I really like adidas. http://www.eastbay.com/catalog/productdetail/microsite--Eastbay4Her/cm--GLOBAL%20SEARCH%3A%20APPAREL%20SIZE%20SEARCH/supercat--microsite/model_nbr--90674/sku--220954/size--/

This patagonia one is nice, too: http://www.rei.com/product/733652?vcat=REI_SSHP_WOMENS_CLOTHING_TOC

And I also like my zoot bra: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/242,19016_Zoot-Sports-Trifit-Bra-Top-For-Women.html

I’ve got the same upper body profile as you, and I also prefer Nike and Underarmor.

I’m small as well (small B) with comparatively larger shoulders/lats. I really like the adjustable straps on this sports bra and the way the seams and panels are placed. It’s snug in just the right way. The fit is much more ‘modern’ (for lack of a better word) than the Champion or lower-end Nike bras that are just panels of fabric with a U-shape at the top and a band at the bottom.

Champion is having their ?semi-yearly $19.99 bra sale. Every sports bra and regular bra is $19.99. I bought a few last sale and they are great. I’m at work and can’t access the website to post it.

Definitely like the champion bras, it’s the only one that doesn’t leave strap marks and has good support, for A-B.

same problem with the broad shoulders and ribcage thing

I have a couple Adidas sports bras that I got when I was a freshman in college. I love their sports bras…

I’ve got the broad shoulder thing going on, too. But not a small cup size (dammit!). So can’t speak for that aspect, but I personally really like the Sugoi bras. I think the Fizz is good for smaller cups. And they’ve got the two colors, etc. going on.

And I’m checking out that Patagonia bra right now-looks sweet!

Yup, that is my body type too.

Moving Comfort Cameo Bra has my vote.
