Sports bra recommendations?

[Joyisstrength]

Hey Camino ladies!

I'm having trouble finding a bra that's quick drying and has plenty of support. I would really like merino wool as some percentage of the fabric for the stink free properties, but do they support well enough?

What have you taken and what would you suggest??

There is an existing thread on this. If you go to "search" , and type in sports bras (search title only), a thread by novembermoon will come up.

Joy, I began by wearing a sports bra, but these days I just wear my regular bra.
I can wear it for 3-4 days or even up to a week before washing it so if I take 2, I'm good.

Dillard's has a "store brand" bra called Modern Movement. It's a regular everyday underwire t-shirt bra that wicks moisture and dries quickly. I decided to try it as opposed to a standard sports bra because I don't want "the girls" smooshed and it's only $38. I've worn it for several walks between 5-8 miles lately and I recommend it.

Awesome! I just read through it. Good stuff.

I barely fill A-Cups so sports bras are overkill for me and I don't think they'd (sports bras) dry as fast as my basic nylon bras. I had no problem drying them overnight hanging on the line at alburgues. If you do purchase a sports bra or two do a trial hand wash of both the sports bra and your regular bras and see which type dries overnight better (or you'll have to hang them off your pack to dry in the morning!!!). This also goes for sock and undie decisions.

I am still in the pre-Camino stage, but for hiking, bicycling, and travel I use Patagonia's "Barely There" bra (and panties). It is very light weight and dries very quickly. Although it is very thin, it offers good support, and it hand-washes very easily.

I discovered Glamourise no-bounce sports bras and took two on my camino. They dried fast, provided very firm support and came in large sizes. Check Amazon or ebay for low prices on these sports bras. I went with the black with hot pink trim just like in the picture. But they also have white and nude colors. I really like them. Some of their other models not so much. I wear a 44F so I am experienced in bras that offer no support. These are very firm and don't stretch out with use. 111 grams. (Oh, by the way, that is not me in the picture)
