This is the best sports bra I have owned. The underwires are wide enough but not too tall so they don't stab me in my armpits. I had to sister size down to 36H (as I usually do with Freya) because the band was too big in 38. This bra fits me better than the Panache sports bra (I have it in 38GG), but I can't say the fit is perfect. No matter how big a cup size I try, the gore in Panache sport doesn't sit flat against my sternum but the top part gapes.

This Freya sports bra doesn't sit against my sternum either but the overall ... fit is much better. I think this problem has something to do with the depth of the cups but I don't really know. This doesn't come as high up in the front as the Panache one but is supports better around my armpit. The shape in the front is more like V-neck shirt and that works very well for me since my boobs lack tissue around the top middle part but are quite full on top everywhere else (is that even possible...).

I haven't tried this bra in very hard training yet, but it does perform well in little jumps and jogging. It doesn't eliminate all bouncing but it definitely makes the little movements much more controlled and comfortable. I don't think any bra could stop all bouncing since my boobs aren't very firm and I do like to be able to breath.

I heard that this bra ran small in the band so I sized up. The 36 band fit comfortably on the middle set of hooks, so I might have been able to squeeze into a 34.

It runs very small in the cup. I normally fit halfway between a 34H and a 34HH, so when I went up in the band I went with a 36H with the expectation that I might not be able to fill it completely. Instead, the gore was pushed out almost as far as my breasts. I looked like the photos you see of women who need G cups but ... have been squeezed into DD!

When I pushed the gore flat, the quadboobing was so intense that I think I might need two cup sizes larger. That makes it about 1.5 cups smaller than I expected. I would probably need this bra in a 34JJ. I seriously wonder if it was mislabeled.

Of course it provided no support with the gore sticking out so much, so I could not say how good of a bra it is. I returned it.
