Champion Women's Absolute Workout Sport Bra

This sports bra is awesome!! In the reviews it said to order up so I ordered a medium, but it came to large. I think people are getting confused on what kind of bra this is. It's a HIGH impact bra. It's supposed to be difficult to get on and smash everything into place so it doesn't move. I had to send it back and get the small. I'm 5 feet and wear a 32DD bra and the small fits perfect and works exactly like it should for my fitness needs.

This is listed as XL. I have another Champion bra I purchased a while back that's an XL and is sized to fit. This bra is significantly smaller. I have been waiting to see if it would stretch, and it has not. I held them up to each other, and this one is clearly smaller (by 2 inches when one is laying on top of the other). I measured this one, and it is only 14 inches across, meaning it is only 28 inches around. It's labeled as XL, but it's size is more of a medium. Too bad it's too late to get my money back!!

It's not just this bra...I have tried a couple other styles and found the same thing. I have a feeling someone at Champion noticed the complaints about lack of support and figured if they just made the bras tighter people wouldn't bounce as much.Um, no.My size is not different and I still wear the old ones (I had one new in the package that I'd hung onto, so I know it wasn't just an old stretched out one...) in the same size as always (large). My go to styles are no longer made so I tried a couple others and this is the third one. Waaaayyyy too small. I even bought an extra large and that one is barely wearable.I liked my Champion bras-not for serious workouts because they just weren't that supportive, but they were great for daily use when active. No more. This material has no give around the band, it's too tight and very uncomfortable--even the larger size. Oh, and things still bounce when jumping up and down.When will these companies learn that sudden and significant size changes are a bad idea? It's like running shoes--if you have a style keep it. If there is a new style don't use an old name to sell it. Meanwhile people who had a good result suddenly don't because whatever worked has been changed. Ugh.Fail on all parts other than if you are normally a small, well the medium or large may work and the construction is otherwise nice and the material soft.NOT Recommended!

The reason I bought this is because all of my sports bras (also Champions - called "cami" bras - which I have been wearing for years) had the little lingerie straps. Over time, those skinny little straps that look so cute under clothes were cutting into my skin and leaving red welts. This is because I'm a 34 C, rather than a 34 A. So, sadly - I had to face facts. I needed a bra with wider straps to give more even distribution of weight so that I wouldn't wind up sore and red at the end of every day. Happily, these bras fit the bill. Very comfy - and they give good support when I do yoga. (Maybe if I were running I would opt for even more support.) No, they're not sexy. (My husband confirmed this.) The big wide straps tend to show through almost everything I own (except turtlenecks). I know, the fashion police would arrest me - at 64 I just don't care. At some point, my need for comfort trumped my need to look sexy. At least "the girls" are up where they belong!

I usually wear a 34B or 36C, I ordered the large and it fits alright. This bra's band fits well and the straps are the right length, but for my breasts it is too long. It comes down too far on my torso and when I sit or bend it scrunches up. I've been wearing it with the bottom band folded up to avoid that. Despite that, this bra is very comfortable. It is soft and absorbent and holds my boobs in place well. I like to wear it to bed and when I lay on my side it prevents my boobs from laying on top of each other, which is nice. It provides enough support for me because I have relatively small boobs but I'm not sure it would work as well for someone who is like D-cup or larger. I ordered the granite heather/black and the inside is black, if that's important to anyone. Also, this bra is not padded, and you can see my nipples through it when they are erect, which isn't an issue for me but may be for some people. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. Will probably order again, maybe in a size down to avoid the scrunching problem.

The fit is perfect. Some sports bras, although they have their good attributes, function more like a sleep bra, soft, loose with little to no support. This is a Medium Compression bra which I like because it offers just the right amount of support for the type of exercise that I do. The razor back wide strap style gives me confidence to be able to move without giving up modesty for comfort. I really do not like the feeling of my clothes soaked and worst, sticking to my body while I'm working out. The Double Dry Technology that Champion Sports Bras uses relieves me of that gross feeling, it keeps me cool and comfortable. This is the same product that I pick up from Sports Authority. Awesome that I could get it so quickly, at a reasonable price and without having to go to the store for it at this time of the year.

This bra is good, I am always nervous about buying sports bras true to my bra size. I usually buy them a size small to make sure the ladies are extra snug. So I bought in a Medium. I am a 31 year old female that had a child almost 2 years ago. Pre baby and in my teens and 20s (when my ladies were naturally perky) I always bought 34C with the occasional 34D (everyday bras). In my twenties, I would get measured at Victoria secret and they said I was just between a C and a D, so I bought bras in both sizes depending on when I tried them on. After pregnancy, and with age, there is less perk and I need more assistance. I also now only buy 34D (need to keep them in!).The ladies are still snug and provide support when I run. My cleavage does not show. The only thing is that it is a little too snug around the bottom. But that that will loosen up with wear. I live in a very hot and humid area. When running this summer (starts at 5am, with 70-90% humidity and feel like temperatures in the high 80s), my boobs had good support, comfort, and there was the expected amount of boob sweat. It is a good bra, not a love bra, but good.

My daughter loves this, its well made, good quality and robust for sporting. We would buy again from here.

I like it, but was much too small. I'm a 32 B and usually wear XS, however I could barely pull this over my head and it was so tight it felt like it restricted my breathing. However if it fit, it would be a great sports bra!

I've ordered these before, and they are perfect. I could see some people saying that they fit a bit small - for me it's a firm fit that holds everything in place. I'll buy them again.

I wear a large sports bra usually, so I ordered a large one, it was very tight, I had to return it. Good quality though, they didn't have my size.

This sports bar fits the way it should I ordered an xl as well as xl in a couple other ones this one fit the nest could be a little tighter at the band but not too bad compared to the other ones I bought
