I had bought this one hoping the spacer cup fabric and racerback J-hook would be a nice option for summer use. Turns out #1: the wires are too long, #2: the gore is too tall, #3: the outer cups are too tall, #4: the straps are not long enough (but only when hooked in the racerback position).

* Because the spacer cup fabric has so little structure to it, support is solely relied on from the wire and band, whereby the wires will be quite firm and the gore will be tall. The same holds true for this one.
* ...and because the cups have so little structure, they give a very minimized shape. However, unlike other spacer cup bras I've tried, these cups do provide nice lift and natural, rounded shape.
* Ironically, the wires are the perfect width for me. They sit very nicely in my IMF, despite the fact they're too long. However, even as long as they are, they're still a full inch shorter than the wire channel. So it's not just the wires that are too long, but the outer cups are also too tall. So even with the straps in standard position, the cups rub into the Tail of Spence. And it's absolutely unbearable with the J-hook connected.
* Just to clarify about the straps, the length is fine when in standard position. But once hooked, the straps cut painfully into the back of my neck. And unfortunately, lowering the J-hook did not solve that.
* As for placement of the front straps, they are definitely set too far apart. When I stand straight, the cups lay flat and fit very nicely. But as soon as I move my shoulders forward, the cups gape terribly.
* A quick mention of the band...double layer mesh, with flocked elastic and a U-shaped back. The height is basically the same from the wire to the straps.
* And lastly, the hooks and eyes are 2x3 narrow-set, mounted into a thin tab. Also, the length of the tab nicely covers the loosest set of hooks, so there's no chafing.
