Champion Double Dry Vented Compression Sports Bra Review

  • Kerrie
First of all, you can just think again if came here expecting to see me model a sports bra like another very brave, very bold blogger did (here).

For this review, what I actually want to do is back up…let’s say…oh…15 years or so.

Remember that one post in which I admitted I had the same two sports bras since my high school cross country days. One of them gave out on me a couple of weeks ago. But this one just keeps on going:

 

It’s not made of fancy wicking fabric or anything, but it does what it needs to do. I wore it during the Seattle Half and it worked great. Now, it’s a good back up because I have a brand new sports bra. Champion sent it to me to review, and it wasn’t until I got the package with the new one in it that I thought to look to see what brand my old sports bra was — the one that was still supporting me after all these years.

I think we all know whose logo that is.

The new bra I got is a lovely light purple.

Officially, this is the Double Dry Compression Vented Sports Bra. Here’s a prettier picture:
Here’s what Champion’s Web site says about it:
“At last…a compression sports bra that plays up your prettiest curves. Its secret? Contoured front seaming, designed to flatter your figure.
-Super-sleek stretch knit helps stabilize bust to minimize painful bounce. (High Support: great for high-motion workouts.)
-Double Dry fabric technology wicks moisture to keep you dry.
-Breathable mesh lining allows cooling ventilation.
-Mesh-covered keyhole back adds extra cool where it counts.
-Covered elastic bottom band gives added support and comfort.
-Tag free for non-chafe softness, with stay-put racer-back straps.
-Nylon/spandex
-Imported “
I was sent the large, which worried me because I just bought a medium bra from another brand. But the large is perfect! This bra does exactly what it says it’s supposed to do.
The first time I wore it, I went on an 8-miler. It was raining and probably 45-50 degrees out. Muggy. I was dripping with sweat when I got home. The bra itself was wet, but I felt dry and that’s what matters! I did get a little nervous when I went to take it off — let’s just say they weren’t kidding when they put “compression” in the name. I hope I have this bra as long or longer as I had the other one.
What I Like:
Nothing moves. (Not that I have a lot going on in that area.)
I didn’t experience any chafing.
My skin stayed dry and cool.
Pretty purple!
What I Don’t Mind:
Very tight (but not restricting).
A little high in the arm pits.
What I Don’t Like:
Hard to get on and off.

    Too funny that your trusty old bra was Champion also. I hope this one lasts just as long!

    I swear I have/had that exact same old Champion bra, same color and all! I think I gave it to Goodwill, as if anyone wants an old sports bra!

    umm i definitely still run in sports bras from high school … 🙂 (like 10 yrs ago ahh!) i do have an old champion bra from '06 that still fits/works well. the high school ones i tend to wear for non-running as they are, uh, dilapidated (hanes brand i think).champion bras are great though! i don't notice the high arm pits but we also are probably built different. good review though.

    You might want to take a look at Breeze Comfort padded bras and sports bras. The bras are made with patented bra pad technology. The bra pads have perforations throughout to facilitate air circulation to the breast area. This helps release heat and helps prevent sponge effect (sweat collecting in the traditional bra pads).
