Hasn't set fit

Ugh, just as I finished writing the review I refreshed the page by mistake and it was all gone https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
So, starting again - this sports bra is similar to the Bravissimo Skye, my all time favorite sports bra. Strangely enough these wireless Bravissimo sports bras don't seem to be too popular here on Btb, which I can only attribute to them being underrated given the excellent bounce control and shape they give.
The size is not right for me in this bra, so I can only judge how it behaves with trying it on, but not in the long run. About sizing, this ... runs large in the cups (same as the Skye) by about one cup size compared to my usual UK size. This is unlike the regular Bravissimo bras which are usually one cup small compared to my usual size. Regarding the size, as it's too large in the cup for me I get the usual symptom of a too large cup in a wireless bra, which is that the straps/cup digs into the arm - as there is too much fabric that would be "cup depth" but without wires it's not contained in the cup and is being pulled out by the band.
About the shape, I get a rounded but minimised shape in this although it's not a perfect size match.
The materials seem to be good quality and soft. The cups are made from two layers of material, the inner one non stretchy while the outer one stretchy. The band feels stable and I like that it has equal tension between the band material and the upper and lower elastics. The straps are wide and padded at the part where they sit on the shoulder, and they are positioned quite close to the neck (as it's usually the case with racerbacks), which I personally find very comfortable. People with narrow shoulders will also find this to be useful.
The only downside that I see is that it's really hard to get the bra band fastened in the back. Since it's a racerback you can't fasten the band before putting the straps up on the shoulders, so it requires a bit of effort, especially as the band has 4 rows of hooks and eyes. The fact that the straps are partially adjustable (unlike the Skye) can be an advantage here, as they could be loosened a bit if needed.

  I have a horrible habit of hitting the back button by mistake, so I feel your pain....
  
  I like the look of this bra and personally really like wireless sports bras. They are wonderful for when you need a break from wires but still want support for the day.
  
  It is good to know this runs large in the cup, so thank you for adding that info! I too experienced their regular bras to run small in the cup so I have avoided the brand, but will now look into this one for sure. Thank you again for the insightful review!

Fits

I do not know how to measure this or add fit criteria since there's no gore or separate cups so I will write a review with some details. The fit on this is great for a sports bra. I measure at a 30G with the ABTF calculator and this bra seems to fit true to size so far. There's not much adjustment for the straps, so it may not work on a taller person. I have them adjusted as long as they go and it fits well and I'm fairly short. Cup height and construction work well for my size and height, there's no discomfort in the underarm ... area or the straps or band. Due to congenital symmastia, I need a wireless sports bra. Since my boobs are not separate and are connected by tissue in the center, I get the feeling of pressure and heavy weight pulling down on my breasts if I am not in a supportive bra basically at all times. Exercising in a non supportive bra is very painful. I don't care about uniboob at all, my main concern is support with no pain and this fits my criteria. I tried running, jumping, and all sorts of exercises in it and the boobs barely move at all and there is no pain! The material is pretty lightweight and does a decent job of moving sweat away from the body. Since there aren't separate cups, I do experience some cleavage sweat but I am used to that and it's easy to stick a towel in there to absorb it. This is a great option for a wireless sports bra and very comfortable.

  great review!
  
  I've never heard of this sports bra, but it looks sharp! also well constructed.
  
  It also looks good for people with narrow or sloping shoulders.

  BraOdyssey thanks! I hadn't heard of it either, got it from someone in the UK. It would definitely work well for narrow or sloping shoulders! I'm not used to racerback bras or narrow straps (thanks to Ewa Michalak!) And I accidentally punched myself in the face trying to scoop and swoop lol

Didn't fit

How do you say... a very good staple foundation piece except it's a nightmare to put on or escape from? Neither of us could work out either the angle of shoulder dislocation required to get the hooks & eye done up in the back, nor any kind of timely manner to adjust the straps. A good piece but it requires someone else to get in and out of :/
The neckline in this size run low on my petite teen but also gave great coverage. It's the back just below the neck where Storm's straps join that is harder to hide under clothing- I'm rather ... larger in shoulder, so while it wasn't ridin up on my neck it clung and cut into my trapezius muscles badly. Definitely consider shoulder slope and muscle alignment when selecting this style.

Purchased for thin teen who needs petite shoulder sizing and prefer racer back fit. Inner lining is typical slinky for Bravissimo's fusion style offerings an doesn't itch or pinch. The outer/band/strap material is not the softest in Storm, but the wicking, elasticity and recovery are exactly what we've been looking for in an ocean of saggy sad yoga tops and compression-only foundation pieces that basically only exist to crush and smash down any upper fullness and push everything out of the cups into the armpits.

The hardware is fairly industrial strength without being industrial-sized, the build and details modern and attractive, the shape the bra allows is a very wide, high set and rounded profile that's effectively minimizing without being a binder.

Win for meeting our criteria, but booo hiss boo outgrown within all of about 2 months. If I had to compare this to anything else, possibly a dupe for underarmor's hi- impact
