NOTE: This review applies to the BLACK Champion Absolute Sports Bra with SmoothTec Band. (Other colors may vary in specifics.)MATERIAL:This sports bra is a great option if you’re looking for something unpadded but modest. The material is thicker than other similar sports bras such as the Under Armour Mid Sports Bra and has a very slight ribbing texture that helps make up for no pads. Although the material is thicker, it doesn’t retain heat. I personally find it cooler than the Lululemon Flow Y Bra during a jog! Moisture wicking is great for the price, but sweat can pool up just a little above the band during a hard workout.DESIGN & FUNCTION:The bra has nice clean lines and minimizes rather than lifts. The T-strap design is very functional as it keeps me cool and isn’t noticeably outlined when worn under a tee shirt. The SmoothTec Band does not ride up on me. The straps exert some pressure on the trapezius, but this gives more support to the front of the bra. As other reviewers have pointed out, this bra is most-likely better suited for smaller breasted women when it comes to impact sports. I use this bra for running and it provides ample support for me.DURABILITY:For the price, these bras hold up pretty well. I ordered two in 2017 and one in 2019. I wear them all the time—lounging, running errands, or exercising. The 2 bras I ordered in 2017 are wearing out; the SmoothTec Band is bunching on the interior but this is probably because I used to wring them out after hand washing instead of patting them gently. The 2019 bra is still in great condition! (As a side note, I also ordered an Under Armour Mid Sports Bra in 2017 and it completely wore out by 2019.)SIZING:I’m 5ft 3in, 130 lbs, and size 34A. I ordered both the XS and S sizes in this bra and the XS was too small, cutting into my sides. The S fits perfectly although it was a bit of a wrestle to get it on the first time. After the first few wears it stretched to fit comfortably.CONCERNS:If you’re wearing a shirt over the bra, the straps are noticeable at the neckline even if you’re wearing a crewneck. This is a tighter fitting bra and the straps exert pressure on the trapezius which is not ideal for those who have neck or back conditions. Sweat can pool up just a little above the band during a hard workout.
