This Bra is Made for Running, April 7, 2009
This review is from: CW-X Women's Firm Support Running Bra (Apparel)
I've always struggled to find a sports bra that is comfortable (lightweight and wicking) and supportive. This bra is both, and I'm a fan. It rinses out well in the sink, and I only put it in the washer about once a week. It has held up great with that care.
I really dislike sports bras with any sort of metal or plastic closure device (snaps, zips, hooks, etc) because I've found they cause chafing, and bruising if I'm doing situps and such. However, most of the sports bras for larger chests tend to include these elements. The CW-X Firm Support Bra doesn't, and it keeps my girls from aching after a long run. It's almost magic!
It is difficult to get this bra on and off, but with practice it becomes much easier. It gets easier if you're less sweaty, so it's good incentive to ensure you cool down properly after your run and stretch. If you don't want to deal with hooks or zippers, there isn't much alternative because if it stretched to take off easily, it would stretch when you didn't want it to also (while running).

The Best I've Ever Had, April 9, 2010
This review is from: CW-X Women's Firm Support Running Bra (Apparel)
I have been a runner for over 24 years. I came up through the ranks (JogBra, Nike, In-Sport, etc). I have worn these bras for over four years now and I can tell you that this company has figured it out. If you do not want ANYTHING to move while running, this is the bra for you! It is hard to get on, but worth the effort. The firm support is perfect for B,C cups. They are pricey, but if you take good care of them, they will last.

Great support but..., February 28, 2007
Getting this bra off after a sweaty workout is a HUGE struggle. I would liken it to getting out of a straitjacket. The bra construction is great for limiting bounce but I prefer the champion double dry instead.
