Wonder bra
Posted Thursday, January 11, 2007 at 12:21PM
One of my favorite finds in this month’s Self magazine: The Champion Vapor Sports Bra, a piece of fitness apparel that gets its no-bounce action partly from recycled coconut shells. Called Cocona, the fabric found in Champion’s latest creation is fast-wicking, fast-drying, and odor-resistant. Champion is also offering shorts, pants, and tank tops made from Cocona, a material that “aides in evaporating sweat and filtering out bacteria,” says BeautyNewsLA.com. “This keeps you feeling fresh and smelling clean even during a hard workout. It also blocks out 96% of the sun’s UV rays.” Hooray for workout wear that matches performance power with a little green sensibility.

Print100% jiggle-free

No offense to Jaclyn, Drew, and all other Charlie’s Angels past and present, but we’re kind of totally over the whole jiggle thing. (Like, so over it that we were never really even on it the first place, this being three decades past 1976 and all.) Quite the contrary, we’re of the belief that good sports bras are a runner-girl’s best friend, and we know very well how hard it can be to find a product worthy of that BFF label. After many years of dealing with not-quite-right fit and disappointing performance, I’ve found a winner in Nike’s Determination Bra, a super-supportive pullover made with sweat-wicking Dri-FIT fabric.

Moving Comfort
Posted Monday, August 7, 2006 at 11:38PMSports bras are one class of products in which quality control is especially essential. Both Runner’s World and Rose at Hit the Ground Running give the thumbs-up to Moving Comfort’s Maia model, designed to give extra support to “full-busted women.” After testing the Maia on a long run, Rose deems the bra “absolutely fabulous in fit, control and comfort.” Plus it comes in pretty colors like Tidal, Rapture Rose, and Peri (below).
Victoria's Secret Sexy Sport

As one of the most function-focused pieces of apparel around, sports bras have never really offered the opportunity to express your very sassy style. But now, as The Running Rabbit recently discovered, Victoria’s Secret is bringing a little sexiness to the sports bra world with its aptly named Sexy Sport line. Developed in collaboration with Shock Absorber, Sexy Sport features superhot racerback and cross-back pieces.
