I always need the longest setting on straps. This model did not work for me, the J-hook comes too close to my neck.

Maan oh man, maybe it's because it's an encapsulated high impact sports bra, but as someone who loves their bands snug, I had to pull out the extender immediately for this to not continue to take my breath away 😂 With the extender, it's actually super comfy and I say that as someone who isn't used to Panache's wires as well , and more accustomed to Comexim's super soft comfy wires as my ribs need that cushion. I've only worn this hiking, but it kept the girls well in place/secured 👍 It also gives a great shape and obviously some nice uplift especially for a sports bra 🙏 ... The only thing is I wonder if it's because I'm slightly close set that the middle inside on the bra doesn't fully tack? Not sure if it's more of a design/sports bra thing but it doesn't really seem to take away from the support so 🤷‍♀️ I thankfully was able to snag the last one in Black/Lime in my size for a nice deal, and am happy I did, I love the Black/Lime cool tech color looking design scheme. Definitely would like to snag it again in different colors as well in the future.

This is easily the best sports bra I have ever worn. I love that it actually separates my breasts, and doesn't give me a uniboob. I didn't know that was possible at this size! It keeps the girls in place while doing pretty vigorous workouts, barely any jiggle. I also really like that the straps can be optionally hooked into an X shape, which just helps even more to support.

Wanted to try this wireless version of the Panache sport, as the wired version fits me ok, but has a few things I would like to change. This wireless version unfortunately has the same issues - too-wide and short straps, and wide cups that cut into my armpit area, especially when moving my arms forward. I need that comfortable mobility in a sports bra. The too-short straps mean I can't use the j-hook function, which would probably improve the bounce factor considerably. The quality seems wonderful, like the rest of their bras, and I love the color offerings.

Super comfortable and works well for my needs. I sized down in the cups after finding my usual 32FF too tall in the cups. I find the J-hook useless because the straps don't adjust long enough, or maybe because where the hook is placed ends up sitting too high on my back. Don't feel the need to try other brands though because despite these, it feels nice and honestly rarely need a sports bra.

This bra actually holds me up and supports everything. I can jump and run with no worries about where my breasts will be. I can workout comfortably.

waaayyyy too small.

I got this off of Facebook Marketplace - my first FB marketplace purchase.

It doesn't nearly fit, so I'm going to try to resell it on the listings.

ORIGINAL REVIEW AND PHOTOS (March 2019):
After trying on a ton of sports bras (I was honestly concerned Amazon wasn't going to let me order any more), the Panache Wired Sports Bra is my favorite.

I often fall between sizes, so I tried on a few different sizes (32FF, 34F, 32F, and 34E). I ended up keeping the 32FF because I like a tighter band in my sports bras. There is a tiny bit of space in the top of the cup during part of my cycle, but the 32F was too small so I stuck with the FF. The space doesnt seem to be a problem. The bra ... does a good job of encapsulating my breast tissue and keeping everything where it needs to be. I use this bra for weight lifting and running with no issues.

My only complaint is that the j-hook is at a fixed point. I will sometimes use it while running because it tightens things down just a bit more and it frees my shoulder blades. However, the attachment point is a little high for me. I've tried other sports bras where the j-hook can be moved up or down the strap.

Design is similar to the Chantelle Women's Sport High Impact Wonderwire, though the sizing is a little different (I had to size down in the Chantelle cup to get the same fit).

UPDATE (November 2021):
I absolutely loved this sports bra - it got a ton of use over the last two years. Unfortunately, it no longer fits because my size has changed. At 24 weeks pregnant, I currently measure at a 34G or 34GG. I can fasten the band on this bra, but it feels very tight and suffocating. The shape of this bra makes it a little hard to evaluate, but I can tell there is no enough room for my tissue in the bottom of the cup at the wire. This pushes the wire out of my IMF and distorts the bottom of the cup. The tissue gets pushed up and out though the quadding isn't visible due to the way the outer portion of the bra is constructed. The gore floats about 1" off my sternum. Overall, the fit issues are clearly a result of the bra being too small. I can make it work in a pinch and have worn it with a bra extender, but it is probably time to put it away.

These have quite wide wires which I love! It is true to size in the band but the band is very snug for high-impact activities. Not to the point of discomfort to me but I like a snug band and my snug UB is 29. Straps are perfect and it's just a really pretty sports bra, doesn't feel like a regular underwire bra at all.

My fit needs: projected, immediately projected, slightly narrow, fob with tall roots (functionally even), very close set, very center full.

I understand why the chantelle bra is considered a dupe of panache. Wide but with a rounded shape. I like the panache bra but the height is much shorter. This is good since the chantelle is so high and it shows through shirts that aren't high cut, so that gives me more options for work. However, for actual working out I think I'll probably prefer the chantelle since it feels more secure and goes with my tall roots and shape changes better

I love this sports bra model. Band runs snug and cups seem to run a little big as I'm a UK 28G/26GG and a 28FF seems to be my best fit in this specific bra. Straps are also a little bit wide and kind of stiff.

Everything I could want in a sports bra. I tried this from Amazon Wardrobe in three sizes 32DD, 32E, and 34DD, based on what I had read on band and cup fit. I liked the 32E (my actual size) best--the cups felt perfect including the top--but the band size was what could best be described as "discipline feels good." The 32DD felt tight at the top/straps, like they were the wrong width, and the cups felt like the wrong shape. The 34 band was very comfy, but the cups were way too roomy at the top. I got this one used to see if the band would work better with wear, and I can report that it truly does, and that everything feels secure while bouncing around. I'm keeping this one and the new 32E.

Probably my favorite sports bra. Realized recently I need to go down a cup size, though. Seems to run a bit big in the cup and band is snug when it's new.

I'm a 30FF-32GG but I got this in a size 32F because it was the largest size available on the site I was using. I have FoB, narrow rooted bell-shaped breasts.
The cup size was too small for me personally but I still wore it because it was the best fitting sports bra I had at the time.
The shape is very nice and it's super supportive. I also like how it separates the breasts rather than cramming them together the way many other high-impact sports bras do.
This sports bra is very good and it was wonderful to have a sports bra that fit and supported me. Just make sure you get the right size.

The band is nice and snug. The cup has an even fullness, but it is not as full on top as the underwire version. If you like the underwire version, but it is too full on top, this bra will work for you.

I bought this bra because I needed a few sports bras for light exercise like walking and stretching. The fitting associate gave me a 36DD instead of a 34E, but it seemed to fit okay at first. The "gore" on this bra feels a little weird at first, but this could be a me issue. It can technically be converted into a racerback, but I prefer it as a standard bra because racerback sports bras are incredibly difficult for me to put on. (And I've heard horror stories of other people injuring themselves in the attempt, though I don't know what bra model they ... were trying) The straps on this bra vary in width from 1.75cm-3cm.

EDIT: After wearing this bra a few times, I've noticed more problems with it. First, I had to adjust the straps to their maximum tightness because I noticed when I leaned over to the side, the straps and cup would lift off my body some. This solution is OK for now, but it's obviously a problem going forward because my band is still on the loosest hook possible and this doesn't give me any room to adjust the straps further. Secondly, I think the cups on this bra may be too wide or tall for me. (Unsure which one) It's most noticeable when I lean to the side, but even standing up straight there's a bit of buckling on the side of the cup.

Cup wires are a bit too wide and center gore is way too high for my preference but it does a stellar job of holding everything in AND being comfortable enough to wear on a non-sports day.

The sports bra I wear the most for higher intensity activities. The top part of the gore doesn't sit flat but the wires also don't come up all the way. The top 2" of the gore are without wires. I get the most support using the j-hook but the straps are almost too short for me to do this. It can be uncomfortable for wears more than a few hours long. I tried going down a band size but it was too tight. The cups are kind of wide for my frame.

I bought this a few months ago when I was measuring a 30FF. I tried on a 32F and a 30F as well and the 32F gapped at the top and the 30F was just too tight so I ended up with a 32E. The band loosened fairly quickly and I was using the second hook within a month or two and now it's too big in the band due to weight loss. Overall a very comfortable sports bra, though. Good support. I'm more close set so the separator in the middle sits on breast tissue but it doesn't cause any discomfort.

I think when I buy a new one I'll end up buying a cup down still but go for the tighter band and use an extender for a bit to hopefully have the band last longer.
