Women's Sports Bra

Great overall sports bra that does a great job of supporting, but not constructing or being too crazy supportive.

So I'm one of those weirdos that only wears sports bras, and have for my entire life. I hate traditional bras and I love compression -- like, the flatter the better. I don't want to feel any movement in my chest area. I've also been "blessed" with boobs that just want to flop and have a tendency to stretch out all of my sports bras. For reference, I'm 5'5", ~138 lbs and I'm around a 32 D. Medium is perfect for me. The only caveat is that most of my activity leans toward medium impact -- I'm a climber, so I take lots of hard bouldering falls and spend long days in the mountains, but I don't do much sustained high impact activity like running or crossfit, so if either of those are your jam, take my recommendation with a grain of salt. :) Anyway, I'm 6 months into wearing this bra daily, and I love it so much. I was a little leery of the adjustment buckles on the front before trying it on, but they're actually very slim and low profile. I don't notice them and I haven't had to adjust them yet, and they don't stand out under my shirts. The amount of compression is just right -- snug but comfortable, like a hug. The mesh is breathable, wicks well, and so far has been impressively odor-resistant. Best of all, no flopping! It's the first sports bra I've owned that I can wear all day, transitioning from activity to activity, and haven't felt like I'm either being suffocated or drowning in my own sweat. I can spend a strenuous day hiking or climbing, sweat a bunch, and come back into civilisation without feeling like I need to change right away because it dries super quickly and amazingly (!), doesn't stink or give me rashes. And I haven't even managed to stretch it out yet -- it still feels almost as snug and comfortable as when it was new. I'm honestly impressed with the combination of performance, durability, and comfort. Most of my sports bras start out great but become borderline unusable after a few months and a couple of washes. Not this one. For me, personally, this is a winner -- I'm a convert and it might be the only bra I buy from here on out.

I have three of these sports bras and they are great for running as someone with a larger chest. Adjustable straps are a huge plus. For reference I am a 32D and wear a size small.
