Under Armour  Active Bra

i was training for a marathon, so i needed a sports bra that would be comfortable from mile 1 to mile 26. most other sports bras on the market have a razorback x-shaped strap design in the back which have always hurt my shoulders and upper back after only a few miles of running. the under armour active bra was comfortable throughout all of my runs because of the non-pinching, low-profile straps and back of the bra. i've since run 2 marathons and 2 half marathons wearing this sports bra and i've been completely comfortable in all of my training runs and races. after years of searching for the perfect sports bra, i think i've found it!

This is a soft, flexible material that I really like and it performs well. My only complaint as a 36 B/C woman is that it smashes my breasts into a uniboob. While working out I don't notice it but afterward, between leaving the activity and getting to a shower, it's obvious and uncomfortable. I chose a medium, the right size for my body and I think if I went to a large, I would lose the support. Might be better for A/B cup ladies.

I purchased this sports bra in February. After one wash the straps began to fray - it's now May and today one of the straps broke off completely! I wore it 3 times a week or so (I bike to work almost daily) and I am surprised and disappointed that it wore out so quickly. For the price I paid, and the brand name, I expected to get at least a year of use.

I wear this bra for long runs, cardio, yoga and strength workouts, single day hikes, multi-day backpacking and when I need a comfortable bra with good support for my casual clothes. Even with my sensitive skin I never had problems with it. This bra has paired underwear, which is also great.
