Not for me asking for a friend - no really, any girls here with any recommendations that work when wet and muddy? 😳
User name + first post + Friday afternoon......

Mrs TT found the Shock Absorber sports bras to be the best at what they do.
Shock Absorber (higher impact one) or debenhams they do a nice one, but go and try them
I need to visualize the problem, have you got a video? Slo-mo would be ideal.

Mrs Stuey recommended it - honest.
My, what a lot of options to explore! 🙂
Why wouldn't a normal sports bra suffice? A bra doesn't suddenly stop working if you get wet and muddy!
Most informative, thanks stuey.
Definitely shock absorber bras, any women who say sports bras dont work have never bothered to buy a proper one! They may be fairly pricey but they work and last for ages!
Sorry, just popped into thread to look.
Hell, at last I admit it!
Best thread award 2015.

Without photos surely it's the worst thread of 2015?

Can I hijack this thread to ask if anyone could recommend some pants that can keep a massive package in place whilst riding?
Obviously this is for a...ahem..friend.

Nominative determinism at work.
Would sir, or sir's "friend", like something enduro specific?
Thank you diane, stuey and jimoiseau, although I have no idea what IANAW means, I also am mildy embarrassed at the choice of login name my helmet inspires. 😳
This is a problem in all seriousness for long decents particularly in the alps when they can take upwards of an hour and the wet conditions do not help. The Evoc thing looks worth considering but expensive without having a go so to speak, it's a pity shops don't recognise female rider issues, anyway thanks for all your help.
I won't be providing videos although I do have some IT friends with man boobs who could probably similarly do with assistance in this regard.

(IANAL is quite a common acronym here for "I am not a lawyer", used when dispensing questionable pseudo-legal advice)
😆 thanks for the explanation anyway my 'friend' will be pleased.

I'm feeling that XXL package supporting pants might make the trails 'come alive' for my 'friend'.
The GF uses Nike ones as she found that Shock Absorbers tended to be less comfy. Same for all her sports
Never mind the dowhill, which sports bra for uplifts ?
Marks and Spencer do a good range at a very reasonable price. Avoid anything cotton: chafing is not ok!
You need a moar gnar bra.
Is a DH bra any different to an Enduro bra?
Zero Cool - depending on instillation time "comfy" is definitely not 'the' word.
When she 'de-cups' it's usually a deep breath and "Release the hounds/puppies" 🙂
Ask whoever this is..?
What cup size are we talking here? I'm a DD but find that a super gnar bra can be a bit uncomfortable - my favourite is a Sweaty Betty jobby but it does result in a bit of monoboob.
G cup also from Sweaty Betty..
I wear Shock Absorber HRM bra

This one is the go for full on bounce control. If it's good enough for running, then it's good enough to keep the D cups under control.
Berlei podium bra. It's been my go-to bra for nearly all my trail riding. Keeps the D's sorted plus if you use a HRM that needs a strap, it is all integrated.

For more moderate control, Note, there are two types, one has more control than t'other.

Some bras I have found can be a bit restrictive if you have to tighten up the straps etc too much or the shoulder straps dig in when used with a back pack. The advantage of the above bras is that you can chuck your shirt off post ride and you won't be embarrassed. 😀
I hope this helps
I've used the [url= http://www.panache-lingerie.com/gb/products/details/panache-sport/sports-bra/sports-bra/geo-print ]Panache sports bras[/url] for all sorts of sports. Dry reasonably quickly and good support and I am at the larger end of users requirements.
Above blokey comments aside, a decent sports bra makes a huge difference!
OP - get your friend to check out MTB Chix and Trails on FB - good supportive group of ladies where these sort of questions are welcomed (with no laddy comments!).

I can recommend m an s particularly for the bigger bust. They do a range of levels of impact and the highest level is what I go for when riding. They do one which zips up at the front which is the most sturdy.

Might want to rethink your email address then..... 😯
M&S is ok, but if your/her girls are DD or bigger Bravissimo is the way forward. Not down hill specific, but through them I found a bra that I can comfortably run in, which even the firmest of M&S offerings couldn't manage. Plus, no uni-boob.
