Through Heather's Looking Glass

Under Armour Bra Giveaway

| fitness, Giveaway, running

 

The folks at Under Armour contacted me awhile back about doing a giveaway just in time for Christmas. In the spirit of giving, I was happy to review and giveaway a really great product, the Armour bra!

Let me tell you a little bit about this beauty before I tell you my personal experience.

-Removable, molded cups

-Order by bra size

-Straps built with stretch technology to eliminate digging

-Ultra soft, but sturdy fabric

-Cradles for support to help you stay put

-Moisture transport system wicks sweat away

-Racerback design and mesh for ventilation

Now a little bit about my personal experience and thoughts:

My favorite thing about this bra is the modesty. I live on the gulf coast, and it’s HOT nine months out of the year. I have no problem running in just a sports bra for comfort, but a lot of bras on the market just don’t cover enough or aren’t thick enough for me to feel comfortable running in public in the bra alone. The removable padding and coverage of this bra are just what I was looking for as far as a “wear alone” piece.

I also really like the feel of the bra and the ventilation of the mesh. It fits me well, and I felt zero bounce on my eight mile run this weekend. It did it’s job wicking sweat away, and most importantly, I “forgot” I was wearing it (who wasn’t to notice their bra the whole time they are running, yuck!) I also love that it’s black with just a touch of pink, which is my favorite. The black will “go” with more things but it is still feminine with the hot pink!

My one qualm was pretty fixable. The bra does have a clasp closure in the back, and the flap that covers the clasp was rubbing me a bit, so I put some anti friction product on the spot and then I was fine for my run and didn’t even notice it. This happens to me on all sports bras with clasp closures in the back so maybe it is just a personal issue! Other than that, I truly love the bra and can’t wait to wear it for more workouts, especially this coming spring and summer when it will save me from the heat and humidity!

    I would like to use this sports bra to finally run without being so embarrassed because I have never been able to find one that works for me!

  2. Debbie Chioffe says

    This is exactly what I need! I wear a sports bra under most clothes that I wear during the day anyway and this one is perfect! I want, and I need, this! Right before I turned a young 50 last year I steps up my fitness and exercise program and started to really pay attention to my health. I am still enjoying doing it and this bra will fit my lifestyle and allow me to work out without a bounce. I love my silhouette when I wear this type of bra and how it keeps everything in check under clothes. I do not even have a problem wearing it without a shirt over it! Please include me in this giveaway!

  4. Laurel C says

    Finding the perfect sports bra is always a challenge for me, but this Under Armour bra looks awesome! I’d love to try it out, especially because I’m a runner and need something that delivers a lot of support!

  6. Erin says

    I want the bra so I can get support in getting back in shape in more ways than one! It’s so hard to find great support and feel comftable while exercising. I tweeted!

  7. Crystal says

    I’d definitely use this bra for running! It sounds like the perfect bra for long training runs and races!

  9. Run with Jess says

    OMG, I’ve had my eye on that bra ever since it came out… but just haven’t forked out the $ for it yet. I would love love love to try it out… for RUNNING of course!

  12. Heidi Nicole says

    I’d use the sports bra for running. And snowboarding. And mountain biking. And sitting on my couch. And work.

    Okay, so I wear a sports bra 98% of my life. Good thing I don’t have a professional job!

  15. Sharon says

    I much rather a good sports bra for everyday wear for the added support it gives, be that exercising or sleeping – and everything in between.

  21. Monica says

    I’ve been looking for a good looking sports bra with good support and this one looks perfect for running!

  27. vicki Weissflug says

    I would be training for my half marathon with this new sports bra and doing turbo fire workouts (there are lots of jumping and it will help with that).

  33. Jessica Young says

    I would wear the bra for my first half marathon which is the princess in feb. I am so excited but nervous. I am a nurse that works 2 jobs and runs in the morning before work in order to train. I am also a mother of 2. Your blogs and post inspire me. Thank u. I hope I win!!

  34. Libby Syzdek says

    I so need this bra! I was running very early this morning and on my run I was saying to myself, I really need a new sports bra! I hope to be wearing this sports bra during my training for the Disney Princess Half Marathon!!!!

  35. Britton says

    I would definitely use it for my short and long runs!! I am in desperate need of replenishing my sports bra collection!! I would love to try this one out! I am always looking for a good one! A lot of support is a must!

  36. Katy says

    I would wear this running all year long! I saw this bra at Dick’s Sporting Goods and it looks like a great quality!

  37. Meghan @ little girl in the big world says

    I would use it for running! I’ve been wearing cheap Target bras that sometimes hurt a little bit in their lack of support, but I am not well endowed if you will, so I feel silly spending money on expensive supportive bras. I would love to win this one! Thanks for the opportunity!

  41. Francine says

    I, like you do not feel comfortable running in just a bra. It sounds amazing and I would love to boost my confidence in running with just a bra such a this one. Thanks for the review!

  43. Audra says

    I would use the under armor sports bra for when I run! I’ve needed a new one for awhile now and with the Walt Disney World Marathon coming up soon it would be perfect for race day.

  48. Dru says

    I would use the bra for my marathon training and long runs! I could use a really good, supportive sports bra. I also live in a hot area (currently Louisiana and soon to be San Antonio) and could use a bra with plenty of coverage for extremely hot run days! Great review!

  58. Dru says

    I would use the sports bra for my marathon training and my long runs! It’s hard to find a comfy and supportive sports bra. I also live in a hot area (currently Louisiana and soon to be San Antonio) and could use a bra with good coverage for extremely hot run days! I’ve never been brave enough to run in only a bra but this bra looks like it has modest coverage! It would be empowering to feel confident and comfortable enough to go “topless!”

  59. Rachael says

    I would love to try this out for my running! Currently, I have to wear two sports bras at a time to get enough support, and possibly with this one I could cut that down to one!

  62. Heather (Where's the Beach) says

    I would definitely use it running. It’s warm here, not as long as you guys, but long enough LOL. So I run in my sports bra too. Always looking for a good one.

  67. Julie M says

    I would love to win this bra to wear while I train for a half marathon. I’m with you on the modesty thing. I’ve never run with my shirt off because other bras are so flimsy.

  72. Jennifer Hutchinson says

    Hi. If I was to win the under armour bra I would definitely use the bra when I run in the Disney Princess Half Marathon in February 2013. It’s hard to find a bra that will help support you well and for a long race like that a girl needs great support. I would definitely rock out that bra and tell everyone how I won it.

  83. Lauren says

    One of my ultimate goals is to feel comfortable enough with my body to run in just a sports bra. Like you mentioned this one has enough coverage so I’d probably run in it!

  89. Kylie Fouts says

    I would use the Under Armour sports bra for my next cycle of marathon training that starts next week! I need a lot more support than what I have right now.

  90. The Linz says

    I would use this bra for working out until after my baby is born. Then, I’m hoping to get back into some serious running shape. A new bra is always great motivation!

  92. Jillian Newkirk says

    I sadly have bras that I’ve been using for nearly 10 years. My budget doesn’t allow for quality sports bras and my size is so unusual that I have a really hard time finding one that even fits. Under Armour bras, because of the special sizing, actually fit me… but they are way above my price range. I run 25-30 miles a week and plan on running a marathon next year… so this would come in handy!

  93. Kammie @ Sensual Appeal says

    I would use the bra to work out in duhh 🙂 I need a new bra, mine are pretty old by now.

  94. Steph says

    I would wear this for my running and cross-train sessions for sure! Nothing like a bad sports bra to ruin a good workout. Everyone woman needs a good sports bra for workouts!!!! 🙂

  100. MelissaO says

    I would use this for bootcamp every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! We do lots of jumping and I need something SUPER supportive! I love my Moving Comfort bra, but I only have one with this level of support, so I often end up wearing two or not feeling as supported as I should during high impact activities.

  102. Erica M says

    I’d use the bra for running and crossfit. I’ve heard great things about the bra, but it is too pricey for me.

  106. Happier Heather says

    This looks like a phenomenal horseback riding bra to keep the bouncing to a minimum!

  107. Tara @ A Daily Dose of Fit says

    When you work at a gym, you can never have too many sports bras. I don’t have any from Under Armour..would so love to try it out!

  110. charity says

    i would obviously use it for running but being that i am big chested i am always looking for a running bra that will reduce the “bounce” you stated you forgot that it was there……..that is exactly what i am looking for!

  116. April says

    I would definately wear this for running. I saw it at the store and didnt splurge on it because of the price…I re-tweeted 🙂
    Hope I win 🙂

  117. Gretchen says

    I would use this sports bra to run (and walk) with my 6 year old son in his first 5k this coming spring. I did my first 5k this fall and now he wants to do one with me! 🙂

  120. Kelly@LeafyNotBeefy says

    I would use it for workouts – running specifically, but any type probably would be good to use it for. 🙂

  122. Trisha says

    I would use this UA sports bra for an upcoming half marathon I’m running. Running def requires a great sports bra!

  126. Lisa Jones says

    This bra looks great! I would use this bra to run in. It seems like whenever I find a bra I like with enough support they go and discontinue it. So the hunt continues…

  127. L Harms says

    I am a long distance runner. That bra looks perfect for my next run! Thanks for doing this giveaway!

  129. Michelle Stothart says

    I am fairly new to my workout / healthy living addiction! I do a killer boot camp and have been debating over the correct bra to buy & this is the exact one I keep going back to…. yet I haven’t brought myself to buy it yet. Would love to be a lucky winner!!

  139. Patrice says

    I would wear it for running. I’ve never liked running (when I played sports in school) but I’ve just started to become interested in running. Finding a sports bra that fits me is rather challenging.

  141. Emily says

    I would use this bra as a motivational piece to be able to wear alone. I’m getting close, this will help get there!

  142. Amber French says

    I would use it for my Obstacle Course races! Wearing three bras gets old, I need a good one! Thanks!

  143. astrid says

    My running bras are in dying need of replacement between gravity taking course and the elastic bands being worn out just hope my boobs haven’t bounce down to my waist. I will use the bra for cycling,cardio and ripped classes.

  144. Tracey says

    I’d use the bra for Zumba classes! I currently only have one sports bra (also Under Armor, the zip front one!) because of the price and the fact that there are few sports bras that can keep my 32H’s in check! I desperately need more so that I don’t wear this one out from daily wear and washings!

  145. Brenda says

    I have a difficult time finding sports bras that fit and give enough support. I am learning to run, and a good bra would definitely help with confidence level! 🙂

  148. Tina Friend says

    I would use this sports bra to get back into running after a few month break I’ve been on.

  153. Rachel Skeen says

    I would use the sports bra, well…. for my boobs :). And for running as well as the HIIT/circuit training I work on daily. I would love one!

  157. Ashlee @ A Step in the Right Direction says

    I would use the bra for my couch to 5 k routine on the treadmill. I need something with great support

  159. Ashlee @ A Step in the Right Direction says

    I tweeted! 🙂 I would love to win one of these to give it a try – I have never had a great sprots bra

  161. Kelsey says

    Tweeted!

    I’d use this for a bunch of activities. I live in DC, so it’d be nice to have something to wear in the summer that isn’t covering/hot but still is ok to run past all the Congressmen in. I’d also use this paddleboarding – something I love to do… but I’m not super good yet, so I sometimes fall in (and therefore don’t want to be wearing regular clothes).

  162. Sara says

    I would love a sports bra I can wear that is supportive and yet still does not take a shoehorn to get into. I am training for several events for next year and it would help me look forward to my training if I were not taking 20 mins to wiggle in and out of my sports bra on one day, and flopping out of it with my other bra the next day.

  163. Elizabeth Smith says

    I would love to have this bra because mine have wore thin. With Christmas and taxes right around the corner, there is no extra in the budget for new one! This would be a major relief for my ‘girls’!

  167. Chelsie Swanson says

    First I would use it to slingshot my $3.99 sports bras from Walmart into the dumpster 😉 Then I was enjoy my runs and Biggest Loser workouts in comfort

  168. Amy B. says

    I’d use this for regular workouts. I hate bra shopping and sports bras are no exception! I have a larger chest and it’s hard to find one that offers good support without being really uncomfortable! Would love to give this a try.

  169. Brie Ahlgrim says

    I would use the Under Armor sports bra to workout over Christmas break and lose a few pounds to look great coming back for my last semester at Cedarville University.

  171. Joanna Broadbent says

    I would use the bra to support my ta ta’s during runs, tabatas, and weight training. A woman can always use a good sports bra!

  173. Sarah Valentine says

    I tweeted! I was just saying today I need to get a new sports bra. I love this one!!

  174. Sarah Valentine says

    If I were to win this bra, I would use it during my oh so fun morning workouts. 5am Kaia F.I.T. workouts and beautiful Saturday morning runs. I love bootcamp style classes with a wonderful group of awesome ladies!

  175. Sherry Rini says

    Just like you, I live in a hot area – South Florida…and I too am looking for a bra that I can run in on those hot days!

  177. Kate G says

    Run in it – training for my next half marathon! I bought one of these during my last training cycle and it has been amazing! Having an extra so I don’t have to wash them so often would be great!

  182. Heather A says

    My sports bras are tragic! I would love a nice new one for running and for kickboxing! 🙂

  184. Carol Landry says

    I would wear the bra underneath my tops for running. Not confident enough to wear alone!

    • Heather says

      This giveaway isn’t to pick the bra you want, winner gets the Armour bra, question was what activity would you do in the new bra. 😉

  188. Joelle says

    omg, I would LOVE this bra.. I run all the time and my boobs could use a bit more support haha. Thanks for the giveaway:)

  190. Rose keyser says

    Under armor is the best! I am an avid fitness buff. I go to the gym 5-6 days a week for weight lifting and cardio for 2-3 hours. I would use the bra for this reason as I need a sports bra with support for versatile use and high impact cardio.

  192. Christine R. says

    Will use the UA bra for running and working out! Have been running for a couple months, and the bra I have is not sufficient!

  198. Mindy Artze says

    I would love to run in this bra! It looks comfy and I need the sweat wicking so badly in a sports bra!!! And it’s adorable! Maybe someday I will look as cute as you 🙂

  203. Abby @nycrunninggirl says

    I have one of these bras and LOVE IT! It’s basically the only sports bra I wear, which is gross…so would love another one!!! I’m a runner so a good sports bra is especially important to me! Thanks for offering this giveaway!

  205. Chris Bab says

    As a dude, I’d use this to win hubby points with my wife. After all, I just gotta grab one layer for my torso for our runs

  208. Cassandra says

    I would use the bra to keep my ever growing pregnant boobs in place whether it be running or just at home. The ladies feel so much better in something secure these days 😉

  209. Elizabeth Johnson says

    I would use the underarmour bra for my dancing, running, and exercising routines! After having kids I have flap jacks for breasts and I hate how much they flap. I need to hug these suckers tight against my chest. Its almsot painful when they bounce. It makes me hate jumping. But Boucing and jumping is what really gets the heart rate up and working out the heart at higher intensity is what strengthens and promotes healthier body.

  211. Liz says

    I would wear it for jogging, lifting weights, kettlebell training, burpees (oh I NEED a good burpee bra), and if it’s comfortable enough, I might even sleep in it. So THERE!

    Thanks for sharing your review!

  213. Danielle Moore says

    I would use the sports bra for running because it is hard to find one that I really like.

  215. Brandy says

    Hi! I would love a new sports bra for my training and would love to be able to wear it during my first marathon!

  219. Kristen says

    I am always looking for a good bra that goes up around the neck. I hate the ones I’ve tried up to now because they don’t seem super supportive. Don’t even get me started that smash/push me so I have those “extra” rolls where I don’t want them.

  220. Theresa Winterhalter says

    I’ve wanted this one, but the price tag is put of my range. I would love to wear this on my runs here in Fl we can almost run in sports tops all year, well almost 🙂

  221. melissa says

    I would run in mine. I can’t stand my chest moving at all when I run! but I like the bras to be stylish and comfortable at the same time

  224. Heather says

    I would wear this bra to get rid of my baby weight. I would wear it for turbofire, chalean extreme, the gym, and whatever hitchfit throws my way!

  228. Jen says

    I am training for my first half marathon. I would definitely love a well fitting, comfortable sports bar to wear while exercising.

  229. Carrie Davis says

    I want to win the Armour bra because I absolutely adore UA and have lost enough weight now where I need to order down a size!! Unfortunetly money is always tight so I tend to have to go for the cheaper ones. UA is amazing quality and I am lucky enough to own a few select pieces. Running tights and a long sleeve running turtle neck. <3 them both! This would be a great addition!

    I'm a SPA sister and have liked and setup to recv notifications from your FP page!! Love your posts!!

  231. janicedoty says

    OMGosh–talk about timing! I just started running again…only to realize that the sport bras I have will NOT cut it (I’m a bit busty)….this would be great!

  232. Sara MacDonald says

    This bra would be very useful for my kickboxing workouts five nights a week two hours each. In these it is important to have support while not wearing gear that is hot. I also walk/run four miles a day so this bra would be used in that workout as well.

  233. Jennie Avila says

    I would love this sports bra.. i recently well about 2 months into started running and this would be perfect..

  234. Jordan D says

    I’m in need of some new, more supportive workout gear for yoga and yoga fusion classes. I’ve been doing a lot of inversions and my current workout tops just don’t cut it. This bra would be awesome for me 🙂

  236. JennyV says

    I would get rid of my pathetic old bras and get with the program! I’m a runner and need some support. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

  239. Tara says

    Jumping around, running and training without a great supportive sports bra is torture for me with a larger chest! I would use the bra to keep my tatas in place while running and doing crazy plyo’s with my trainer! 🙂

  242. Samantha G says

    I have one UA bra now and I love it, so adding another to my running clothes would be awesome!!!
    I tweeted also! (Sami91680)

  243. Lindsey says

    I would use this bra to tame “the girls” while I continue to work on my fitness goals. I started with Couch to 5K, ran my first 5 miles this week, and plan on keeping on going!!!

  245. shana dicamillo says

    i would use this bra for running, since it looks really supportive. i have had struggles finding just the right one (have had a lot of luck with enell). but this one looks like it might be good for us D+ girls. 😉

  249. Krissy says

    I’m a runner and I need sports bras that don’t allow “bounce” I have been wanting to try the under armour sports bras for a while too but the price has held me back.

    Also, I tweeted my entry from @kurliq98

  250. Audrey Dancy says

    I would give it to my daughter. She is a runner and a broke student who needs a good supportive bra. She uses Shock Absorber bras, so this would give UA a chance to secure her future business, if she tries this bra and loves it.

  251. Luke says

    This bra would eliminate the need for me to adjust my wife’s chafing bra straps numerous times in public, during our long runs…. and she would look sooooooo cute in it 🙂

  252. Amy G says

    I run most days a week, and since I’m breastfeeding, sports bras are very important to me! I’d use it for running and interval training.

  253. drkaylee says

    I would use the bra myself …. always looking for new bras to support while running! Also tweeted @drkaylee Fingers crossed!

  254. Janice says

    If I won I would be using it for running! I have yet to find a super comfortable sports bra. Maybe Under Armour is the one!

  258. Rachel @ run50states says

    I would use this sports bra to go running when it gets warmer out! I love running with just a bra and a skirt and this would be perfect for that!

  260. Becky says

    I would love to wear this when the weather gets hot this summer and I’m training fit my half marathon running in a sports bra ( which I will finally be comfortable with since I’m working hard to lose weight before the summer!)

  263. Erin says

    Looks awesome! Im new to the running scene, and with my first half out of the way, I am definitely ready to race some more! This looks like it could be a lucky bra!

  264. Shannon says

    I’m having a baby at the end of this month and a new bra would be great motivation to start running a few weeks later!

  269. Christina@LiveDreamRun says

    I would wear this during my marathon training. I have yet to find a supportive bra that doesn’t rub my skin off during those long runs. Thanks for running this!

  273. Betsy says

    I just signed up for the Nike Women’s 1/2 Marathon in April – this would be perfect for training!

  276. Renee says

    I would love this bra as a rather busty girl I’m always looking for a great coverage sports bra! I would run in it of course!

  277. Eric says

    I know my wife would love wearing this bra after her pregnancy to get back into peak running shape.

  281. Megan -I Run For Wine says

    I’ve been looking for a sports bra like this forever!!!! I’d love to try it out.

  283. Amanda Hughes says

    If I won the Armour bra, I would use it for the extra support while running pregnant! 🙂 I love to exercise, but being pregnant makes ‘the girls’ so much more tender, and the extra support of the Armour bra would be PERFECT!

  285. Maria @ Lil Mys Ninja says

    I would definitely wear this when running! I’m always looking for a good running sports bra!!

  287. Julie @ ROJ Running says

    What would I use the bra for? Haha that made me laugh…umm holding my boobs in place so I can get some working out done! For some reason I have the worst luck with finding a bra that will hold me in place without too much pressure or chafe. Ugg. Need it for my ultra running!

  296. Susanna says

    I would use this bra to help motivate myself do something I didn’t think I could do before — maybe sign up for a marathon!

  299. Stephanie says

    Hi Heather, I just visited the UA review site and well, I can state emphatically that I NEED this bra. Currently have a lulu one that is really nice but this one sounds like it has covered all possible issues and I really like that they have my size. No more compromising!

    Steph
