I have never written a product review before, but feel compelled to do so now because this sports bra is not just bad, it's horrendous. I bought the bra for ultimate support during high impact workouts, like endurance running and cardiokickboxing. The zipper seemed like a good idea because it wouldn't have to go over my head, which can sometimes be challeneging when dealing with tight-fitting sports bras. From my first wear and everytime thereafter, the zipper has caused very painful welts on my chest. I'm not talking simple chaffing, but large, painful welts. I even use body glide around the entire area of my sports bra for extra protection and still get the same result. Much to my dismay, I retired this bra after the first few weeks of wear.

Skip forward a year... I decided to give the bra another try on a day when all my other sports bras were in the laundry. As I sit here and write this review, I am most conscious of the painful welt on my chest that resulted from [stupidly] giving this sports bra one more chance. This was a very expensive bra (in my opinion), and I bought it with the intention of having a high-quality product that would last me at least several years. What an incredible disappointment that I now have no choice but to throw it in the garbage. I considered donating it to the Salvation Army, but to pass this pain onto someone else I feel would be disgraceful.

The only thing this sports bra is good for is causing welts.
