Utter the words "wool sports bra" in an outdoors or fitness shop 10 years ago and you might have been thrown out the door. But wool today from companies like Ibex Outdoor Clothing is silky and soft. It wicks sweat, doesn't stink even after much use, and is less harmful than most synthetics on the environment.
Thus, Ibex (www.ibexwear.com) has designed the Balance Sports Bra, a top made of fine merino wool plus a hint of nylon and Spandex for stretch. It is made to fit A, B and C cups during medium- to low-impact activities such as paddling, hiking and biking. The $49 bra is machine-washable and seamless, to eliminate rub.
