There's nothing better

I reviewed these bras a while back but for some reason the review didn't show up. Here is my previous review from 2008: I bought these bras after careful research because I was shipping to basic training for the Army and obviously needed a sports bra. At the time I was a 34 D-DD. I bought 4 of them total to the tune of ~$160 total, and while in BCT I wore the same 4 of these 6 days a week, 24 hours a day (no exercise on Sundays, so I wore one that they made us buy that was far less supportive). I had absolutely no problems with chaffing despite the fact that it was on average 90 degrees each day and we sweat from sun-up to sundown. The bra is adjustable thanks to the bra-type closure on the back and the adjustable shoulder straps to loosen or tighten. I never had a problem with my chest bouncing all over while running or hiking. They stood up to getting washed 2x a week or so without a problem. I bought a 34C size since I knew would lose weight so I just wore the bra with the back closure all the way out and the straps looser to start and I still had no problem. I lost enough weight that I shrunk down to a 34C and they still fit no problem-no stretching out or anything. I got injured 7 weeks into BCT and had to go to another unit where we did exercise every day, just less intense. That was in October and I just got home at the end of March. From September to March I wore these bras every day without issue, and now that I'm home I still use them to workout as they haven't broken down any. The initial cost sucks but every penny was well worth it.Update: Of the four bras I started with I now have 2 of them left, ONLY because I accidentally threw them in the dryer at the laundromat and they got caught in the dryer and ruined the hooks. I'm in the market for more bras because my sister and I decided we're going to run a marathon. I'm gonna be getting a couple more of these bras because they compressed well, stood up to frequent washings (my being an idiot and throwing them in the dryer is no fault of the bras, just the user) and never chaffed me. The ones that are still functioning haven't broken down in any way, shape or form. I didn't have any trouble putting them on by hooking in front and spinning around. I am pretty sure any trouble I would have had would have been a heckuva lot less than trying to pull a compression-type sports bra over my head. Yeah, they aren't the prettiest things around, but they do the job and they do it well. Highly recommend!
