Champion Women's Sports Bra, Absolute, Moderate Support, High-impact Sports Bra for Women
M**S
Love these!
I've never bought a sports bra so I wasn't sure about the size. I'm a 34B/36B and ordered a small (white). It fit but was a little snug so I ordered a medium (black). The medium was definitely the right fit! I ended up keeping the small anyways. Since then I've ordered a third one, medium (white). I wear them while doing cardio but also wear them a lot since they are really comfortable. The Champion label on the back of the black one came off after a few washes but doesn't really bother me, other than that they washed up nice.

Excellent Choice for an Unpadded yet Modest Bra
NOTE: This review applies to the BLACK Champion Absolute Sports Bra with SmoothTec Band. (Other colors may vary in specifics.)MATERIAL:This sports bra is a great option if you’re looking for something unpadded but modest. The material is thicker than other similar sports bras such as the Under Armour Mid Sports Bra and has a very slight ribbing texture that helps make up for no pads. Although the material is thicker, it doesn’t retain heat. I personally find it cooler than the Lululemon Flow Y Bra during a jog! Moisture wicking is great for the price, but sweat can pool up just a little above the band during a hard workout.DESIGN & FUNCTION:The bra has nice clean lines and minimizes rather than lifts. The T-strap design is very functional as it keeps me cool and isn’t noticeably outlined when worn under a tee shirt. The SmoothTec Band does not ride up on me. The straps exert some pressure on the trapezius, but this gives more support to the front of the bra. As other reviewers have pointed out, this bra is most-likely better suited for smaller breasted women when it comes to impact sports. I use this bra for running and it provides ample support for me.DURABILITY:For the price, these bras hold up pretty well. I ordered two in 2017 and one in 2019. I wear them all the time—lounging, running errands, or exercising. The 2 bras I ordered in 2017 are wearing out; the SmoothTec Band is bunching on the interior but this is probably because I used to wring them out after hand washing instead of patting them gently. The 2019 bra is still in great condition! (As a side note, I also ordered an Under Armour Mid Sports Bra in 2017 and it completely wore out by 2019.)SIZING:I’m 5ft 3in, 130 lbs, and size 34A. I ordered both the XS and S sizes in this bra and the XS was too small, cutting into my sides. The S fits perfectly although it was a bit of a wrestle to get it on the first time. After the first few wears it stretched to fit comfortably.CONCERNS:If you’re wearing a shirt over the bra, the straps are noticeable at the neckline even if you’re wearing a crewneck. This is a tighter fitting bra and the straps exert pressure on the trapezius which is not ideal for those who have neck or back conditions. Sweat can pool up just a little above the band during a hard workout.

Ordered the small
as the dimensions were approximately mine but way to small. Quality is great I have gotten these before but was much larger at the time.

If you have back fat, this is NOT the one!
I really wanted to like this bra. I do like the front of it. The back, however, does not have enough to it to be supportive or comfortable, if you're a bigger lady. The band got rolled up and smashed between my back fat rolls and was pinch-y. I tried to figure out a way to make it stay, and it just would not. Also, if you have side boob or the armpit fat, this bra will not hold either of them. Back on the hunt for a comfortable, supportive, but simple, sports bra for this big gal!

Useless
These bras are uncomfortable and poorly designed. The tag in the back is incredibly irritating even if you cut it off. I’m a 34B so I ordered the S in accordance with the size chart provided. The band at the bottom provides almost no support and constantly shifts up. These are definitely not good for medium or high impact activities. Maybe yoga but anything higher impact than that, forget it. Don’t bother with these. I wish I had done the “try before you buy,” but now I’m stuck with two useless sports bras that will honestly probably just end up getting thrown out.

Order a size down!
I'm a 34D so I ordered a large because that's what the size chart said. I tried it on and the "straps" were way too loose and the band a bit loose. I ordered a medium and that fit way better! I've worn it around the house and it's comfortable. The material is moisture wicking. This held up well for a mile run, I haven't tried longer distance but I'm confident it will hold up well. I own various sports bras of different brands and this is by far one of the best I've had, especially given the price! I just wish I'd gotten more when they were on sale, but I'll definitely buy more.

Not a binder alternative, but an okay sports bra (probably)
I bought this item on recommendation from a queer fashion website that said it would be a good bra for flattening the chest. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype for me.I'm a 32B/C, so I ordered a small based on the size chart. The bra looks tiny, but it stretches a lot to fit.The fit feels very tight all round, so it's surprising that it doesn't compress my chest better. Since my chest is pretty small already, I expected a compression bra to do the trick, but honestly for me it's no better than a cheap 3-pack bra from Walmart in that regard.Although the compression wasn't what I was hoping for, it does hold everything in place and should be decent for working out. Keep in mind though that I've been using it as an everyday bra and not for exercise.The band size seems right, not too small by any means, but is uncomfortable and gets sweaty easily. The back style of the bra takes getting used to, but is actually pretty comfortable.In summary, unless you're an A-cup, this probably won't help you bind. Hope this helps somebody!

Calidad y precio
Me gustó por qué había buscado un top para correr que me ajustará.Soy de busto grande 34C, pedí mediano y me quedo bien, repito yo buscaba que me ajustará para que no me rebotaran los senos.Te aplasta el pecho, para mí no es problema. Mencionan que se marcan los pezones, eso no me ocurre cuando hago ejercicio.La tela es suave al tacto y firme en cuanto a elasticidad. Lo he lavado y no se ha hecho feo.Teníaucho tiempo buscando un top de alto impacto, corro 5-10k y me aguanta bien.

Leider zu klein, Stoff sehr gut
Für etwas größere Brüste deutlich zu klein. Ich trage Kleidergröße L und habe 85B, jedoch quillen meine Brüste förmlich aus dem Oberteil.Stoff sehr gut und bequem, sehr schön !!
