Finding the best sports bra can be a challenge. Not only does the fit have to be right but, for distance runners, getting the best running bra available is important in order to prevent chaffing. One bra that stands out above the rest both for quality and value is the Champion Sports Bra.
Champion Makes Affordable High Quality Sports Bras
Champion Sports bras tend to run a fair amount cheaper than other brands. However the quality is high. All Champion sports bras are made of wicking material, offer good support, and are consistently rated by users as very comfortable. Champion bras also have an excellent reputation as bras that will not chafe. This has certainly been my own personal experience. While almost every sports bra that I have tried has chafed me rather badly once I ran over 14 miles wearing it, my champion bras have only chafed me once I got past the 20 mile mark in warm weather, and even then the chafing was minimal. Of course, aside from your sports bra choice use of a lubricant, such as body glide, will also help prevent chafing. It is nice, however, to be able to trust your bra to be able to wear comfortably without such aids.
Another bonus of Champion bras is that some models, such as the Champion Shiny Seamless Sports Bra, offer multiple colors,while many other top brand offer just a few basics, such as a black sports bra or while. So, if you always wanted a bright pink (pictured) or purple sports bra, Champion might be a place to look.
