I posted this picture on my Instagram account with the hashtag "#redbraclub" And when I searched for "redbraclub" sadly there were no other pictures with that hashtag.

By this time next year, I can see that changing!

I intend to be a card-carrying member in the near future. I usually don’t look forward to bra shopping, but times have changed. Hahahahaha

I want that logo on a patch or magnet! Love it! I've stuffed mine in a stuff sack in my hammock before.... might have to look at those wool bras.
I find sports bras are a bit too confining for sleeping.

I hang it on the ridgeline with my hand washed thong and socks. All fresh! No one has said a thing.

Everything about this thread is awesome! This was an issue I had my last solo backpacking trip. In the summer I hang my bra on my ridgeline, just like the photo. In the fall it gets cold and wet from frost, and although your body can dry of damp clothes/socks by wearing them, I just can't put on a cold damp bra or tank in the morining, and by the time I pack up camp, I'm just ready to go and not remove all my layers so I can put it on. My "bra" is an IBEX cami/shelf bra that my friend gave me because it was too small for her. I LOVE it. Even though I dont spend money on my other undergarmets, I would purchase this bra. It is four years old and still going strong. I wonder about hanging it on the the ridgeline just above my hammock, where I store my headlamp, but I think it would that add condensation on the inside.

Since we're being real: I have enough endowment that I feel more comfortable backpacking in an underwire, striding down the trail with minimal bounce. Also, without wire my two will smoosh into a uni-boob which isn't comfortable. Plus, sweaty. So I pack along a "night bra" in a bigger size made of stretchy, soft fabric. I bought it at Wal-Mart years ago and it lives in my backpack out in the shed so I can't tell you the brand. I tried one of the all-stretch pull-over sports bras but I like to take it off before I go to sleep and with those, you have to take your whole top ensemble off to get it over your head. This one hooks in the back so I can keep my sleep shirt over me and not freeze. Meanwhile, I put the underwire in my nearly empty backpack, handy so I can pull it into the hammock to warm up in the morning.

Has anyone tried sleeping in a bralet yet? I’m gonna try that this year. Just pack one to sleep in and it can be removed easily in the hammock I imagine if I wanted..

I ordered the icebreaker from rei but it is backordered so I haven’t received it yet.
