Icebreaker Rush Sports Bra - Women's

The person I bought this for loved the feel of the wool, but she didn't feel it would be supportive enough for her.

Yipee for a supportive merino bra! The Rush bra is supportive enough to run in and it keeps the girls warm when sweaty.

I never thought about wool sports bras until preparing for some long hiking trips in the mountains. I don't know if this is going to win the award to join the trip, but it is much more supportive and comfortable than I anticipated. In the summer heat it is noticeably hot, but I suspect it's supportive enough for short runs as long as it doesn't stretch. Size S fits perfectly - 32b-c ish with a muscular back.

The tags on the inside are scratchy and annoying, though.

I purchased my first Icebreaker merino item, a running shirt, a few months ago. I loved it, but lamented the discomfort of my regular poly/lycra running bra.
I hate the way synthetic fabrics feel against my skin - especially when it's sweaty. I was so thrilled to find that Icebreaker also makes merino sports bras. Merino is the perfect fabric. It's so soft and comfortable and doesn't absorb moisture like cotton or feel nasty like nylon or poly/lycra. I own three of these and never want to put on a poly/lycra bra again.

I should also add that this bra offers great support - something I didn't care about until I joined the ranks of nursing mothers and realized what my bustier friends were complaining about.

I find very supportive. I'm like a 32c more like a 30c and got an XS. Will shrink though if you dry (tells you not to but I just through everything in the dryer). I am a big fan and have it in the pink and black and am waiting for the blue/purple to come back. Two thumbs up

As other reviewers pointed out, it is a bit snug at the band, but it is very supportive and comfortable, and after a while, I forgot all about it feeling snug. I am a 36B, and purchased the medium, and it seems to be working fine. Haven't tried it yet in damp or warm weather yet, so I cannot speak for its wicking abilities. However, I do own a sundry of merino wool clothing (tops, bottoms, socks, long underwear, etc.), and it hasn't let me down yet.

Not only is this comfy, but it allows me to lighten up my backpack as this is the one and only bra I need. No stinky means I can wear it over and over in full comfort.

I own a variety of merino products including bras by Icebreaker, I/O Bio and Ibex. While I love all of the above, the GT rush bra is the only one I would wear for high impact activities, such as running or aerobics classes. The XS fits a petite frame quite snugly.

Great bra, but you might consider sizing up. I have four Icebreaker tops that are S, and one XS but the bra was too tight for me to breath comfortably in a small. Luckily, Backcountry has great customer service to get the right fit.

This is a little heavy and the band does not stretch much so it's a little hard to get on over substantial breasts. That said, once it's on, it's very comfortable, gives adequate support for cycling (I'm not a runner so can't speak to that) and it's warm. It doesn't itch and I like the fit. I'm not sure I'd run out to buy another one but I am happy enough to have it and know I will get a lot of use out of it in the three cooler seasons.

Nice, easy fit with very soft material.

Good support during weight lifting and spinning. I did not run in it nor do I plan on it - I wear specific running sports bras - but did very high impact spinning and weight training and it held up great.

The wicking seemed to work great (again - I do high intensity training so no material is going to keep me *completely* dry) and kept any odor away even during long workouts.

Only thing I can complain about - I wish it came in more colors! :)

And I wish there was a halter top version....but that's a whole 'nother email to Customer Service. ;)

I love everything merino, and this is a perfect addition to my collection. It's not binding, gives just the right amount of help, and is comfortable all around. I like my I/O Bio a teensy bit better, but not by much.

I have used this sports bra for skiing as well as daily exercise. Its the best!!!!!
