Sports Bra Reviews

The Lululemon Enlight bras. They’re pricey, but worth it. No wire, good coverage, straps can’t slip, great fabric…

OK, to answer my own question, the Kerrits sports bra is completely worthless, and non-returnable.

That is good to know!

Thanks for this thread. Got so fed up with my “fluffiness” flopping everywhere last week that I ordered the Enell straightjacket. I like the back design- anything racerback style just creates another set of boobs on me from behind. :sigh:
Can’t be any less breathable than the double-bra strategy I hope…
Anxiously waiting to try it!

Enell update: tried it, loved it, but actually need the next size down. Bonus= better posture.
Also went a little crazy and ordered a Shefit for comparison. :eek: For reference, I have a 33" ribcage and 42" bust.

Would love to hear your comparison of the two bras! I tried both (original post), and the Enell didn’t work for me, but we all have different body types.

OK!!
Broke down and ordered a SheFit… arrived today.
Expensive as I am in Canada, but WOW! Super supportive.
Can’t wait to ride in it!

Now… has anyone worn it without the insert pads?
I sure don’t need the extra bulk.

I would love to hear an update when you have one. I also have a very small ribcage and a larger bust. The Enell size 1 fits perfectly but it’s hot and sweaty and I loathe those front seams that show through everything.

I just sent a Shefit bra back for a refund. The bra’s adjustability has limits! I am tall and broad and the straps weren’t long enough by a couple of inches.

I wanted a more sports bra-like bra for running, but it looks like I’m sticking to the one that has worked for me. The Wacoal underwire sports bra:

And…two of the colors are on sale. I have never seen this bra on sale!

Ok, just tried on the SheFit (1Luxe) and that’s a hard nope from me. Not even going to try riding in it. I may have liked it more if I had a more toned back- just way too much spillage, and it felt like the band and straps really dug in when I cinched it up to a workable level of support. Also a little tricky to cinch it up without the back slider turning horizontal and I managed to pinch myself pretty good with a front strap! #thestruggle
In front it’s okay, not as much coverage or bounce control as the Enell. I thought the fabric would be softer- it’s almost like swim short material? Seems more breathable for sure.

TLDR: SheFit was not supportive enough in front AND back for my fluff. Sad, it’s really much more attractive than the Enell.

Anybody tried the Cheeta Lock Down bra?
I’ve tried a few bra’s mentioned here, but this is the one I thought worked the best (38/DD).

I do not use the insert pads. Give it a try with out.

I just tried it yesterday without the pads - and really didn’t notice any difference at all! Dumping the pads :lol:

[AddleUp]

I bought the Cheeta trotter and the fabric is very soft and flexible. The trotter style zips at the back though which made getting it on a bit of an adventure and it didn’t give the flexibility of the adjustable straps and back. I was sorry I didn’t try the front zip version that cb06 wears as it looks way easier to get into.

I think I would still miss the adjustability of the Shefit though and that is for sure the bra of choice for me. I don’t use the insert pads and I haven’t noticed any difference either.

I just sprung for this one too, but it’s not on sale in my local dept. store (Canadian)
:lol: @Bristol Bay we can do a digital pas-de-deux w/ our strapped downs!

Haha! Let me know how you like it.

I didn’t love the Shefit and wish I had sent it back. Never even made it to the saddle, just used it for my usual workout. I feel like it didn’t come up high enough to contain things and yet when I cinched the band strap, the metal buckle part was all twisted (to get it tight enough). I am a small band, large cup so I think if you aren’t so misshapen, it might work for you. But tightened down, the metal pieces all rubbed me the wrong way.
