Women's Champion The Ultra Light Max Sport Bra Surf Web/Imperial Indigo 36D

This bra is finally letting me think I could exercise in comfort! I’ve tried several brands of sports bras over the years, and became resigned to the fact that they were hard to get in and out of due to roll-ups, constricting my rib cage because that seemed to be how they were designed, and they would be really hot because the fabric to be strong enough to stop bounce also stopped air flow. The first difference in the Ultra Light Max was in the sizing information on the site. It included a measurement under the arms. This is where my rib deformity from scoliosis “springs” my ribs wider, and this system gave me a band measurement of 38, rather than the 36 I got from all the other bras I’d tried that compared only rib cage at the bottom of the breasts and the measurement over the breasts. It also was one of the few supportive sports bras that in a 38 was available in a B cup. When I received this bra and went to put it on, I again appreciated that it is offered with a back clasp, rather than the continuous elastic band. It was easy to put on, with no roll up to tediously untangle. The band was a perfect fit, I could breathe without feeling constriction, and the cups didn’t bulge. When I was doing my exercise circuits, I did work up a sweat, but I was not overheated under the bra. It was easy to remove when I was done. I couldn’t be happier with this bra : )

As a runner for 42 years, I almost exclusively use Champion running bras. The maximum support is always dependable, and the running bras are comfortable and durable. I do have a bit of concern about the elastic band at the bottom of the bra; it doesn't seem to be quite as sturdy as usual, but time will tell.
