Champion Double Dry Underwire Full Support Bra

Underwire sports bra for C/D cups

Pros
  • Stable support for large breasts
  • Excellent moisture-wicking fabric
  • Cushioned underwire
Cons
  • Not enough support for DD+ breasts

Women with large breasts don't necessarily need an underwire in their sports bras, but some women prefer it for the extra support it provides. For C- and D-cup women, experts prefer the Champion Double Dry Seamless Full Support Underwire Sports Bra. This encapsulation bra includes interior cups and cushioned underwire to support large breasts, and reviewers rave about the adjustable straps and back closure for helping them achieve the perfect fit. Testers also think it's stylish enough to wear without a t-shirt, and even C- and D-cup runners are impressed with the support. The Champion Double Dry Seamless Full Support Underwire also gets excellent reviews for its moisture-wicking fabric, which keeps testers dry during hot weather and sweaty exercise sessions. However, larger-breasted women with DD cups or larger find the bra too unsupportive for their large breasts. If you prefer a sports bra without underwire, the Moving Comfort Fiona Bra (*Est. $40) also gets good reviews for C and D cups.

Running Times and Runner's World magazines both have good coverage of the Champion Double Dry Seamless Full Support Underwire Sports Bra, using testers to evaluate and review various sports bras. Shape and Health magazines also test sports bras, but their coverage is a little less detailed. Amazon.com is the best place for user reviews, but the bra only had about two dozen reviews at the time of our visit.
