Athleta Double Dare Bra
Athleta Double Dare Bra
I seriously have an impossible time finding bras that fit (I’m size 32 DDD), and sports bras are a whole other ring of hell. I’ve spent a lot of time in stretchy sports bras with no structure. They work—if I wear two of them.
With the Double Dare, however, I didn’t have to double up. The size medium fit me well. It prevented uncomfortable jiggling while climbing or sprinting, but wasn’t so constricting that it hampered my breathing. The tight band kept the bra from sliding up.
Removable cups offered extra coverage: I could wear the bra all day under a T-shirt and then throw on a jersey when it was time for training. The only issue with the cups is that they tend to move around when you put them in the dryer so I had to spend some time repositioning them every time I washed it.
The bra’s high neck made it a great choice for warm-weather or indoor riding. Some low-cut jerseys tend to bare all when you’re crunched over the bars, but with the Double Dare, I could unzip my jersey without being too revealing.
The major drawback to this bra is its soft polyester fabric, which trapped sweat (leaving me feeling pretty gross at the end of a hard workout) and took a long time to dry.
Although no one will see it, the back cutouts are cute and add unexpected detail to the design. The Double Dare also comes in a variety of colors, including yellow and purple. —Elspeth Huyett
