Sports Bras w closures?

[scttlttl]

@dawn16 I came here to support Enell, too.

Hook and eye all the way up the front, OP. The best sports bras I've ever owned.

I've seen recommendations for other brands here and in the A Bra That Fits subreddit. I decided to branch out and tried the Elomi Energise bra, since I love my Elomi regular bras. I'm going to keep it but next time I need to buy a bra I'm going back to Enell.

@silvershark Berlei and lulu lemon are my go-tos as a v large shouldered (but equally large busted) lady. As a D-DD, there is little to no movement in both of these so they would likely deliver the +++ support you’re after

@silvershark I hate to say it but lululemon has the BEST sports bras. The only problem is they’re 90 freaking dollars

@mateovolta Agreed - I am a similar size to OP and the Lululemon “energy bra” is my favorite! I bought two (never thought I would spend that much on sports bras) and they’ve held up great... plus they replace the thin pads for free when they get worn down, which you can also choose to wear the bra without them.

@mateovolta Agreed! I'm a 32D with broad shoulders from being a climber. Their bras are super comfy.

 

[pitterricherd]

@mateovolta Yes I have two of the Run Times bras and they are great! A handful of colors are usually on sale so I snagged each for $39

@silvershark Target has a decent front zip sports bra. It looks like 34B is sold out online, but you might have luck in the store

[silvershark]

@bio_student Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out for it

@silvershark Right? I don't have wide shoulders but I have a chest so I wish all sports bras had front closures. I have two Nike zip up bras that I really like. My favorite one is padding-less and so comfortable, but from 5+ years ago so no link. The other is this one, it has some padding but it's minimal & it's sewn in so easy to wash. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/...bra-19nikwzpfrntbrxxxapu/19nikwzpfrntbrxxxapu

 

[silvershark]

@walkingforward Lol sometimes I honestly panic that I’ll be stuck. Thanks! Sewn in ftw.

@silvershark Natori Gravity high impact sports bra is my favorite! It has clasps like a normal bra - it’s amazing for high impact activities too.

 

[silvershark]

@godlesstc Oh cute! Thanks for the suggestion I hadn’t seen/heard of this brand

 

[zhivago]

@silvershark Hine Collection is a small NZ brand. They released a zip sports bra this last winter. It's zipped but has a hook at the top. From what I've heard from others who've tried their bras. The ones for high impact really work.

Here's the one

 

[carla25]

@zhivago Oooo these are very cute and look like they're ethical too. Might add them to my list even if it means shipping from NZ...

 

[dawn16]

@zhivago Seconding this - I'm obsessed with my Hine bras!

 

[zhivago]

@dawn16 Yaaaay someone else! I love my Luxe bras! I bought a Next Level Sports Bra which is "my size" but very tight. So I'm planning on getting another one in a bigger size. Their luxe leggings are also chefs kiss.

 

[silvershark]

@zhivago Oh this brand is so cute!! Will be adding some of these to my Christmas list!

 

[zhivago]

@silvershark They are really great! I love their Luxe bras and leggings. I find the compression things are very tight. I definitely prefer a looser fit. Oh and prices are NZD or they should be.

And for anyone wondering Hine is Māori for girl. They also have a Tāne (male/man) line with Tāne on it for guys.

@silvershark An option: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Womens-Front-Close-Plunge-Sports-Bra/970691557

 

[silvershark]

@giathinhpool Oh nice, thanks for the link - the plunge is interesting! If it’s comfortable I could see myself wearing it out of the gym.
