Champion Women's Sports Bra, Absolute, Moderate Support, High-impact Sports Bra for Women

NOTE: This review applies to the BLACK Champion Absolute Sports Bra with SmoothTec Band. (Other colors may vary in specifics.)MATERIAL:This sports bra is a great option if you’re looking for something unpadded but modest. The material is thicker than other similar sports bras such as the Under Armour Mid Sports Bra and has a very slight ribbing texture that helps make up for no pads. Although the material is thicker, it doesn’t retain heat. I personally find it cooler than the Lululemon Flow Y Bra during a jog! Moisture wicking is great for the price, but sweat can pool up just a little above the band during a hard workout.DESIGN & FUNCTION:The bra has nice clean lines and minimizes rather than lifts. The T-strap design is very functional as it keeps me cool and isn’t noticeably outlined when worn under a tee shirt. The SmoothTec Band does not ride up on me. The straps exert some pressure on the trapezius, but this gives more support to the front of the bra. As other reviewers have pointed out, this bra is most-likely better suited for smaller breasted women when it comes to impact sports. I use this bra for running and it provides ample support for me.DURABILITY:For the price, these bras hold up pretty well. I ordered two in 2017 and one in 2019. I wear them all the time—lounging, running errands, or exercising. The 2 bras I ordered in 2017 are wearing out; the SmoothTec Band is bunching on the interior but this is probably because I used to wring them out after hand washing instead of patting them gently. The 2019 bra is still in great condition! (As a side note, I also ordered an Under Armour Mid Sports Bra in 2017 and it completely wore out by 2019.)SIZING:I’m 5ft 3in, 130 lbs, and size 34A. I ordered both the XS and S sizes in this bra and the XS was too small, cutting into my sides. The S fits perfectly although it was a bit of a wrestle to get it on the first time. After the first few wears it stretched to fit comfortably.CONCERNS:If you’re wearing a shirt over the bra, the straps are noticeable at the neckline even if you’re wearing a crewneck. This is a tighter fitting bra and the straps exert pressure on the trapezius which is not ideal for those who have neck or back conditions. Sweat can pool up just a little above the band during a hard workout.

I am so disappointed as I love this sports bra, especially the back. I am a 34D and the medium was too small. I also ordered 2 more in small for my daughter and granddaughter and they needed the medium and they both wear sizes 4 to 6. Can't get them again as they are sold out. The straps are not adjustable so you might have to sew it up in the back to raise the front up. Great sport bra if you can get the right fit. I reordered and got a large.

first off, im small chested; that being stated. I really liked the product, it fits well (holds everything in place) and is comfortable. Although its not padded, I feel it provides good support (for me). I really like the material and the design, great for running. It is a bit smaller than most sport bras, so do keep this in mind. I usually run S, and it did fit me but more snug than usual. Still good tho

I really wanted to like this bra. I do like the front of it. The back, however, does not have enough to it to be supportive or comfortable, if you're a bigger lady. The band got rolled up and smashed between my back fat rolls and was pinch-y. I tried to figure out a way to make it stay, and it just would not. Also, if you have side boob or the armpit fat, this bra will not hold either of them. Back on the hunt for a comfortable, supportive, but simple, sports bra for this big gal!

This is a great sports bra. I wear it for Zumba.I am a 36 C and ordered a lg. I feel like a medium would have been fine for a tighter fit.

The sizing is terrible. I’m usually an XL but tried both L and XL. The cup area was way too small for a DDD

Very good quality, I never can find one that’s comfortable but these have a perfect stretch and are very soft. They don’t feel scratchy and to close to the skin.

Perfect for a work out day, its very comfortable, the size is perfect and true to size, it does shrink as you wash it
