Champion Double Dry Full Support Seamless Underwire
- Stable support for large breasts
- Excellent moisture-wicking fabric
- Cushioned underwire
- Not enough support for DD+ breasts
- Some say fabric is too stretchy
Experts recommend the Champion Double Dry Seamless Full-Support Underwire Sports Bra as a great choice for C- and D-cup women. Those with large breasts don't necessarily need an underwire in their sports bras, but some like the extra support it provides. This encapsulation model includes interior cups and cushioned underwire; even C- and D-cup runners are impressed. Reviewers say the adjustable straps and back closure help them achieve a perfect fit, and testers think the Double Dry Seamless is stylish enough to wear without a t-shirt. The bra also gets excellent feedback for its moisture-wicking fabric, which keeps testers dry during hot weather and sweaty exercise sessions. However, women with a DD or larger cup size say the bra doesn't provide adequate support. If you prefer a sports bra without underwire, the Moving Comfort Fiona (*Est. $45) gets rave reviews from C- and D-cup testers.
Running Times and Runner's World magazines both have good coverage of the Champion Double Dry Seamless Full-Support Underwire Sports Bra based on feedback from wear-testers. Shape and Health magazines also evaluate sports bras, but their coverage is less detailed. Amazon.com is the best place for user reviews, but the bra only had about two dozen posts at the time of our visit.
