Customer Reviews Champion The Underwire Bra

The sizing is too wide of a range. I wear a 36 so the 34-36 is tight but the 36-38 was too loose. And as another reviewer said, it's a little scratchy. I have some older versions of this model and the fabric was much softer.

Not enough padding in the cups to hold you in.

It's pretty supportive but runs small. I ordered a size up and the band (on smallest length) is still very tight.

I ended up returning this bra. It fits a bit "too" well for tennis, and showed under my tank tops. But it was also a little uncomfortable to wear, and I needed someone to close the back for me with the racerback style.

The bra arrived stained even though it was wrapped in plastic with original tags. The fit is too tight even though I sized up for a more comfortable fit. Honestly was underwhelmed, didn't return because I desperately needed a sports bra to replace my Champion Women's Show-Off Wired Sports Bra which was much better in my opinion but no longer available.

I hoped this bra was the replacement for a champion bra I wore for years that they discontinued. It's not. The "variable" size is handled with a loose cover over a rubberized cup. The real problem with the bra is that the "underwire" is not sewn in place and moves all over the place when washing. One time I found it completely out of the cup area and under the arm!

Excellent fabric and brand, however ran small for the size . I returned and am waiting for my refund .

Bra is okay, but had a seem inside the chips that is stupid and itchy. Definitely not an all-day or high impact activity bra. I'm disappointed, but at least it was cheap.

I've been wearing these bras for several years for horseback riding. Just bought 3 new ones and they did not come with the hook to make it a racer back. Description said it had option of crisscross or hook together. My old bras had the hook. I've been crisscrossing but not as comfortable as the hook, the straps are too tight and keep inching up around my neck. Very disappointed.

In order to wear the bra as a racing back, you must clip a small eye hook located on the back of the straps, which is nearly impossible to do before putting the bra on, and impossible to do once the bra is on. If worn without the eye hook, the bra doesn't hold everything in quite as firmly.

I have 4 of these. But they are itchy, the wires do come out and poke me...I found that if you put them in the dryer the wires do not come out, so far finger crossed. Also, never wear before washing and use liquid fabric softener, it helps. It is still itchy! They are ugly but my bra struggle has led me here. I just wish they were better.

Works great, does the job, but incredibly complicated to get in and out of.

It has full coverage, but the band tends to fold under. Good support overall. I wish there were more colors in my size.

I like the fit, however, the material on the inside- especially on the straps, is itchy and grating on my skin. The hooks can dig into my back, as well. I'm hoping that more washings will make it more comfortable.

Pretty good for mid to high impact, not as good as previous Champion bras. Definitly would need some adjustment or modifications to run in it. Fine for cycle and short intervals of jumping jacks or jump rope. Regular bra size is 36D-DD

Very much missing a now discontinued Champion underwire bra and bought this to replace it. Even with the underwire, tends towards a mono-boob but with twin torpedo points--a bit of an engineering feat! While the profile it produces is not the most flattering, it IS supportive and relatively comfortable to wear.

Over all its not bad, but the pockets for breast are a little off. More deep then rounded. I wish there were more support on the same and back, I thought it would be more full coverage. Okay yoga bra, but not running.

I just bought 2 of these because the style I usually buy has been discontinued and it looks like this is the replacement. Even after I read that many frequently have itching from stitching in the straps, I decided to take a risk. I like these bras for everyday, so they need to be comfortable. I have only had intermittant itching with these bras, and now I'm getting a bit of a raised rash. And yes, it's right where the stitching is in the front. I'm hoping with washing that the itching lessens because other than that, it's very comfortable. You would think that after people repeatedly complained about this itching that they would do somethng to correct it! Won't be buying anymore of these until the FIX THE PROBLEM!

I really like this bra. The thing I do not like is the fact that the metal part that makes the bra a multi bra snaps way to easily. I bought two of these bras. I've had to return one already because of this and I'm about to have to return the other one. I have had both bras since June.

I bought it for jogging. It is comfortable but allows some bouncing.

I really miss the older style my mom and I had bought for years because it was the only kind of bra that fit the best and had great support this newer style is ok my mom does not like it but I think its alright. It's uncomfortable to wear at first because its tighter and the fabric is rough on the skin but after wearing it in and working out in it I liked it more and more I don't bounce in them at all which I really like and I like the clip added on the back but one of my previous orders it bent after going through the dryer.

I've been wearing the Distance sports bra as an everyday bra for almost 10 years. When I saw it had been "updated" to the 2.0, I was nervous, but I gave it a try. Overall, I really like this bra. I love the fabric, even more than the original Distance. I find that the fit is very similar to the original, and my size from the original was good here. My only issue is that the underwire isn't tall enough in the middle. In the original, the underwire came up to the top of my breast. Here, it comes up halfway. Before, when I would lean forward, I was supported. With this bra, the wire is pushed forward, poking through my shirt and making the bra uncomfortable. If this bra had a wire like the original Distance, I'd buy several more. As it is, I'll look elsewhere for a bra with functionality.

Second best sports bra, the other was similar style, but no padding, padding is hot when you live in the Southwestern states. Would like to see a sports bra, underwire sans the padding. Your price point is really high, if this bra last as long as the underwire without any padding it will be worth the price, as I have been using the non padded underwire for the last 4 years, they too are Champion products.

In addition to the metal hooks on the back straps to make the straps a pseudo cross back, you can remove and switch the straps at the back along the back band and make it a cross back bra.

I always bought Champion sports bras and the last two times I've been so disappointed. I'm a full 34d. I ordered the size 2 based on that and the "cup" is loose. I tried it in with my workout tank and looked ridiculous. There's no kind of lining either. Because of that there was real control for the "girls". I did the buy one get one so I'm going to send back and either try for the size 1 or another bra all together. What happened to the awesome ones they used to have?!
