Customer Reviews Champion The Show Off

This bra has good support for the price. If you are overweight then you will get back fat from this bra, so be aware of this. The shoulder straps lead to a some tension on the neck. I guess it depends on your built. I'm a 38C and noticed some bounce, but overall it would good support for the price. I'm satisfied but still searching for better comfort.

It doesn't work well if you are petite but wear a D-cup. I had to order a Large. It's not quite enough support generally, partially because of the band size and I was only going to wear it for Yoga. I found the Curvy Show Off Bra fits a bit better, particularly the cup size.

Great colors, good comfort. However I did not realize the added padding would be as substantial as it was. For lighter workouts it's great because it gives shape and isn't so thin that one can see how cold it is or not! But for strenuous, high impact, jumping workouts (which is what I bought them for) the bra tends to ride up and the padding becomes a hindrance vs. a benefit. I still love the bra - it's just a little more padded than I expected for a "Max Support" sports bra.

Might be a good bra if it were easier to get on! The back (above the clasps) doesn't have enough give making it really difficult to get it on. As an aside, the cups are too thick for my preference.

The bra is really difficult to clasp. Not particularly comfortable.

Either I didn't read the Show-off Sports Bra description or it doesn't say that there is a back clasp. Most sport bras stretch enough to pull over. This one disappointingly does not. The product itself is well made and comfortable albeit a bit stiff.

true to size

Attractive bra, but didn't provide adequate support.

Fit is snug. It would be better if pads were removable. The back closure is difficult.

great bra & pink color

The cup was too big. I wanted to padded bra with no removable pads. I thought this bra was going to be more like my older Champion bras that were just perfect.

Nice product, well-made. Just not for me.

Difficult to clasp

nicely made, but too heavy for me quite uncomfortable.

This bra has good support but is disappointing from the perspective of ease of putting on and taking off. It is advertised as a rear clasp bra, but it still requires pulling it over your head to wear. The clasp does not really provide more space. I would not buy it again as I was really needing a sports bra that does not require pulling over the head.

This bra seemed manufactured well and was true to size. It was support overkill, however, for my b-cup. I felt really strapped in. I was going to use it for running, but the hardware on the bra would have chafed really badly.

Hard to get in and off. Not the most comfortable, but gets the job done.

It has too many seams and too much material for a lot of running. I miss the marathon sports bra.

The one I received may have been defective. It had some odd puckering in the front that I couldn't get to go away. But it's well-made and based on other reviews, is worth trying out.

I have a few of this style in Large. I wear a 36B/C. This fit is ok, but a little more side shaping would be nice. Support is decent, but flattens your girls. Good nipple concealment! I like the front strap adjustment. I just returned one because the rib cage band will not lie flat, it keeps folding up, like its over-stretched. The band is also uneven. I believe it was poorly pieced.

I bought this for running because it claimed maximum support and it has not provided the support I expected. I am a 34 C/D, so I purchased a Medium. However, even on the back clasp and shoulder straps hooked and adjusted as tight as possible, there is A LOT of bounce when I run. It also pinches at the front of my armpit and I'm constantly adjusting it. The bra really does look great and works for exercise that has less movement, but it is not what I've come to expect from "maximum support."

This bra is medium support at best - certainly not max for C/D cups. It will not work for running or other high impact activity. There's just too much elasticity in the straps, back, and cups to prevent bounce. The straps are also narrow so it's not comfortable for long periods of activity. It has the worst of both worlds - pull it over the head, and fasten behind the back, too. That would be fine if the back fastening actually achieved better fit, but there's very little adjustment possible in the short little fastener. The bra is well made, but since it only comes in S/M/L/XL, the sizing isn't very specific for particular band and cup sizes. I purchased other Champion Bras at the same time that I'm keeping (Marathon and Spot Comfort), but this one went back.

It's pretty good. It does conceal nipple show. It's just not very comfortable.

But getting my it on and hooking the hooks, is a challenge at 4:20am, without removing a nipple in the process! Next time, I'll order a sports bra without the hooks!

I was looking for a bit more support than I got from this bra but it still wasn't too bad. It did decrease the bounce a whole lot more than other bras I've tried. However, I still require more hold. The material is comfy though.
