Under Armour Women's HeatGear® Original 2 Sports Bra

Before the 24 Hours of Adrenaline at Laguna Seca Raceway #2 in September of 2007, I needed more sports bras. I decided to try out the version of this one , for sale at the time, because of the mesh back. It was a good choice, because it turned out to be very hot that weekend. Because of a good experience, I bought more this year.

First Impression: the bra is lightweight, well-made, and shows resilience when stretched. I was attracted to it initially because of its lack of bulk and the feel of the fabric.

Overall Fit: I'm a 36 D and purchased the medium. I find the size chart to be true to chest circumference. It's not too tight or too loose. I feel safe and secure. I love it, because women my size are so often restricted to those enormous bulky bras. It doesn't give me a super shape, but it doesn't smash me either.

Technical Performance: Super comfortable, and able to support through the trials of roots, rocks, ruts, and small jumps. I never think about lack of support, so it must be really supportive. It's also cool and comfortable.

The Nutshell
Love, love, love

  • overall fit
  • support
  • ultra-wicking
  • great fabric

Overall score: 10 out of 10... because this bra exceeded expectations for its design
