Champion Women''s Zip Tech Bra

This is the third Champion zip-front sports bra I have owned, and I bought it because the first one is approaching its 10th year. I loved the first two, this one, not so much. The front comes up higher, which really isn''t a big deal, but makes it fit differently. The support is very good, and the double dry material lives up to its name. The problem I have is with the zipper, which is different from the previous two styles I own. Every time I wear it I have to wrestle with the bottom tab for a good three to five minutes. After 10-20 attempts, I can usually get it to zip up properly, but it is a bit annoying.

I previously owned a few zip front champion bras. They were a cotton mix and wonderful. It lasted me 3 years and 2 pregnancies! (Yeah, these zip front bras are great for nursing and sports). So since the older ones were getting, well old, I tried one of these.

Most importantly the zipper was bad from day one. It was very very hard to get a lock on the zipper, and after one week, the zipper just came off, making the bra useless. I checked the local store (perhaps I got a defective piece) but when I tried the zippers there, they also seemed to be the same poor quality hard to hold and not very well made. And secondly, these are fully synthetic, no cotton mix, so not very comfortable for long hours of use.

If there was a way to give negative stars I would so. The zippers are that bad. Sigh. I have to look elsewhere for good zip front bras.

Buy Champion Women''s Zip Tech Bra Now

I bought this bra because I was looking for one that I could fasten in the front and that offered good support while running. The bra itself is very comfortable-the fabric is soft and there aren''t any tags scratching, however it is not terribly supportive. I use this bra mainly when I''m lifting weights or doing low-impact cardio, as it did not keep me from bouncing much during runs. I''d buy it again.

The other reviews are right, the zipper is terribly difficult to get closed. It sticks when first engaged and you have to fiddle with it to get it up, it really needs more sturdy hardware. I bought this one and a Moving Comfort zip front sports bra and have absolutely no problems with the Moving Comfort''s zipper. This bra is less supportive than the other and the material in front is thinner, the neckline is higher cut as well. Generally pretty comfortable but found that the XS was still a little big on me. The moving comfort definitely fit and supported better.

I''ve never reviewed a product before, but this is such a great bra for me and my situation. I was looking for a good supporting, zip front bra after bilateral mastectomy. I really like this bra alot (I have 2), I recommend it to all my friends. It is easy to get in to, when you can'' move your arms very well and so much more comfortable than those "surgery" bras. I did end up needing a size bigger than what my other bras are, but thats no big deal. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! this bra.
