| jo.com's Full Review: Champion Full Support Bra |
The Champion Full Support Bra is the best. Period. I had 2; My daughter borrowed one and now I have one. I need to buy another one. I have many other brands and other Champion bras. None is as supportive as this one.
The reason I used the title I did is because I am not particularly large chested (though since this review things seem to have shifted!), but the comfort I find in the full support is so much better than others that don't offer this much support.
I lift weights. I don't need a lot of support for that; but I also do cardiovascular activities and even though I don't run anymore, walking fast on the treadmill requires a really good sports bra. There have been times I have worn one of my not so good ones and find that I might cycle instead of walk slowly; literally my sports bra affects my workout performance.
I first purchased this after trying on many others and having many others. It was really trial by error that led me to this Champion. They last forever. Seriously, I would estimate that the one I have is going on 1/2 dozen years and that is 1/2 dozen years of a lot of usage!
After so many years, the only thing that has happened and it is so easily fixed I'm embarrassed to write it, is the hook for the eye (as in clasp) needs to be tightened with a pair of pliers. The bra has snaps that can be made tighter or loser plus a hook so there is no fear of it coming undone.
Last because it is smooth, i.e. no zippers, it can be worn under a tight top without things showing through. Try it, you'll love it, especially if you are a woman!
Update: I wanted to add some information since this review is an oldie. I just bought two more for $19.99 each at www.championcatalogue.com. They now retail for $38.00.
I wash them in the machine on cold water and let them air dry. I still have my original black bra though I have had to fix one of the back hooks which I mentioned above.
The bras seem to get better. My last purchase was a light blue bra which is even more comfortable and seems more supportive than the original. The Velcro straps stay secure even over years of wash and wear. Since writing the original review I do much more cardio vascular workouts because I go to more classes. This is the only bra I would consider wearing.
They now come in beautiful colors. I just ordered pink and berry. Though I wouldn't wear them alone in these pretty colors some could get away with it. I don't consider them a sports bra though that is the best choice without a top on.
I hope this additional information has helped. Please let me know if you have any questions. jo
