Champion Shape T-Back Sports Bra

Sports bra for B cups

Pros
  • Suitable for high-impact sports for A/B cups
  • Inner cups provide more support
  • Stylish racerback design
Cons
  • Prominent front seams can show through shirts
  • Could do a better job at wicking moisture

For women with A/B cups who need a sports bra for high-impact exercise, the Champion Shape T-Back Sports Bra is a good pick. A number of reviewers recommend it, and internal cups provide a little more support than the typical compression sports bra. Women also like the stylish racerback design, and they say the fit of the bra prevents breasts from looking too crammed together. Small-chested testers find the Champion Shape T-Back Sports Bra supportive enough for vigorous exercise like running. However, some reviewers complain about the bra's thick seams, which are pretty prominent on the front of the bra and can show through workout shirts. A few others say even though the bra is made with moisture-wicking fabrics, it could do a better job of keeping them dry. If you need a bra for low-impact sports, the Moving Comfort Alexis Sports Bra (*Est. $30) is also recommended for A/B cups.

A number of publications provide brief reviews of the Champion Shape T-Back Sports Bra, including Redbook, Shape and Fitness magazines, so the user reviews at Amazon.com are especially helpful for filling in the details. Amazon.com hosts around 30 user reviews, but some are exceptionally detailed and users are far more likely to point out the downsides of a particular sports bra. A blogger at StilettoJungleBlog.com also writes a reasonably detailed review.
