After 11,000 Hours of Testing, We Have Determined the Top 4 Sports Bras

High-impact workouts have a lot of perks — that rush of endorphins when a run starts feeling good, the stress-relieving benefits, the sweat-dripping, heart pounding recovery after a HIIT session. One of the downsides is finding the right gear for the higher intensity workout. And when you have big boobs, you also know that any old sports bra isn’t going to cut the bounce-factor.

We tested 19 sports bras for 11,000 hours to find the best ones for large chests and four of our top contenders are up to 50 percent off leading up to Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event. 

The bra that claimed the top spot, Champion Spot Comfort Maximum-Support Bra, has the added benefit of being easy to take on and off when you’re sweaty thanks to a back hook-and-eye closure and adjustable straps. It is underwire-free, however a supportive band beneath the bust keeps your chest in place for running and jumping with no spillage. Our testers raved about how comfortable the gel straps are to relieve pressure from shoulder pain (IYKYK). All together, this creates a nearly perfect bra: “Everyone has a sports bra they look at and then decide today's not the day to maneuver into it. This will never be that bra!” one tester said. And for $25, you really can’t go wrong. 

For anyone who is most comfortable in a bra with molded cups, a back clasp, and underwire, this is the sports bra to choose. Available in sizes up to a 40H, the expansive sizing was a win for our testers. The molded cups kept breasts separated and firmly in place, preventing uniboob or a squashed chest; you will stay fully locked and loaded in this bra for HIIT workouts. The underwire on the outside is way more comfortable, even for those who previously may have disliked it. Take it from a bras for big busts connoisseur: “I’ve been on a quest to find the best sports bra for my knockers! I’ve purchased close to 40 bras. And I have finally found the perfect bra,” said one five-star reviewer of the Wacoal Underwire Sports Bra. 

Large cup or band sizes know that one of the struggles, beyond fit, is finding a bra that’s cute, too, as most companies rely on function over fashion. With Panache’s Underwire Sports Bra, you can have both due to the array of colors and patterns in their high-support bras. We named it the best bra for running because the molded cups and row of four back clasps really lent support for up and down motions, and the straps are also convertible into a racerback form, if you prefer.

This fully comprehensive review will convince you why no other sports bra has been good enough in the past: “Cue the Hallelujah chorus, your girls will rejoice. No seriously, this sports bra is hands down the best sports bra I have ever owned… This is the 7th one I've purchased and I'm getting ready to order another.” And at nearly $15 off, it’s the lowest price we’ve seen this year. 

If you’re looking for more coverage, this Glamorize pick has a mesh layer for upper boob modesty in a fabric that is breathable and quick-drying. That extra coverage comes in handy when you’re bending down to pick up a deadlift or completing jump squats. The unique material doesn’t contain Spandex —  a perk for our tester, “Spandex loses its tight, snug fit as you keep moving, so having a bra with none whatsoever means everything stays up and in place.” With quality bras running upward of $90, an accessible price point doesn’t hurt either. Regular price is a good deal, but at 25 percent off, this one is easy on the wallet.
