Runners give bras a sporting chance

This bra's padded shoulder straps, racer-back style, silky cup fabric, attention to detail in design and good support made it the top choice. Bras were judged according to various criteria such as style, bounce control, comfort and quick-drying fabric capabilities.

Says Lisa de Speville, gear editor of Runner's World magazine, “Being a runner myself I know how long it takes to find the perfect sports bra because not every bra fits every woman. I hope that this review will really help our readers when choosing their sports bras.”

Other sports bras tested were Jockey Sport, Playtex Playsport Cotton Crop Top, Falke Medium Control Racerback Bra, Falke Medium Control Crop Top, Playtex Playsport Cotton Bra, Nike Determination bra, Triumph Tri-Action Marathon Sports Bra, Triumph Tri-Action Medium Control Sports Top and Triumph Tri-Action Sport Bra Underwire.
