Wire under left armpit tends to poke me in both of these bras I have.

Updated on Feb 08, 2014 Flag this

i have the aqua, lime and grey version of this sports bra. It is super comfy. It runs tight in the band and big in the cups.

The measurements for this bra are a little tricky as the underwires are padded. so for example, the center gore is 7inches, but the underwires are only 4.5inches tall, and the rest is just soft material.
The same is true for cup separation: the padded channel for the underwires is thick, but i think it is flexible and the actual underwires are only 0.5 inches wide

Best sports bra I've ever worn, especially when the back straps are joined to form a racer back. I jumped around and had such minimal bouncing it was like another user said, she forgot she had boobs! It's super comfortable and the shape it gives is amazing, lifted up and still separated. Not the uniboob you get from the compression sports bras. The underwires are hidden so it still looks sleek enough to wear on its own. It looks great under a t-shirt, like a normal bra! I got three of these in different colors and it may be my favorite bra purchase yet! The 28F is a tinsy bit small for my cups as I'm in between a 28F/FF, but not enough to make the fit uncomfortable or unsightly. And I think a 28FF would have been too big. There's a little spillage by my armpits, and when in an exaggerated racer back position, I pop out the top a little bit. But again, hardly noticeable and won't be an issue once I can start exercising regularly again.

I had this bra in 28FF but it became a little too big for me. My normal size in other bras is 28F. I think I´m actually between sizes here, these is minor quadboobing if I pull my shoulders back, but it will go away if I lengthen the straps. I actually can still get away with 28FF or 28F. 28FF also feels secure and supportive, I only have some dents in the cup of my smaller boob.

I think this is the world´s best sports bra. It is very supportive and pretty and gives probably the best shape ever for me! The shape is even better than any ... other bra, including Ewa Michalak, round and uplifted!

The band is quite tight, When I tried 30 it was too big for me, but nowadays 28 feels like its better to wear it with an extender at first. I can close it and it is not too uncomfortable, but I prefer extender.

EDIT.
An now, after only a couple of months, I get definitely quadboob https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Other than that, the bra is still okay, and wearable, I guess.

I honestly didn't think this one would work as well as it does.
I do very high impact workouts and it keeps me contained and feeling safe.
It's not "oh I left my boobs at home" feeling you get with Enell Sports (100) , but it does reduce bounce significantly while worn in racerback.
It took some time getting used to the new pressure position of the straps and it did leave my collarbones sore the first time, but we're all good now.
The only downside I see now is that it gets really hot wearing it,
but that can be solved by working out only in the bra.
It looks that ... good, you do not need a top with it.

As for the shape it gives,
I'd be ranting and raving about any bra who creates such a perfect round uplifted shape, and when it comes from a sports bra?
Let's just say the enell is taking some time off now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I wish it came with matching full length running tights <3

This sports bra is amazing. I bought it for the purpose of running, and it's perfect for that. There's never any annoying, painful, or distracting movement in front of me, so I can focus on the task at hand. It's also got great color options, which don't suffer from its wide array of large-cup options. I have it an eyecatching aqua and bright green.

My usual bra size is 30GG, but in this bra I went up in the back and down several sizes in the cup to get enough constriction for exercise. (I tested this factor by jumping up and down several times in the fitting room.) In ... light of that, I firmly believe that this is a bra that should be tried on before purchase.

Even though this size is so far from my go-to 30GG, this several-month old 32F is still effectively tight in the band. I still wear it on the loosest, maybe middle, set of hooks. The size I chose isn't a perfect technical fit, as the gore doesn't tack. However, you'd never know that such a structural failing -- the one that usually restricts bounce the most -- is lacking based on this bra's performance. I also think that this is the best possible size I could've gotten in this bra: I bought it in-store and tried on several sizes in its neighborhood.

It's also obscenely comfortable, which is definitely a plus. It probably owes this to its wide, padded straps and padded underwire.

Comfortable enough for a sports bra. Definitely supportive. Still trying to decide if I like the straps normal or racerback. Kind of seems like they tried to make it work both ways, and it doesn't entirely work on either.

I tried this bra in my regular size.
It runs true to size in both cup and band in my impression.

Construction:
The bra is like a boob armor. The materials are thick and sturdy and the cups are thick and molded. It's made of several layers of moisture-wicking fabric. However, it does not seem suitable for warm weather.

The straps are very long and didn't adjust short enough for me. I had to use the racerback clip to get them in place, but it felt a bit uncomfortable since the clip is sitting very high.

Fit:
It fit great right after putting it on and scoop & swoop. However, after moving my arms, ... I ended up with empty space on top of the cups and "armpit fat" that wouldn't go back into the cups.

Sizing down in the cup didn't help (too small). I didn't try sizing down in the band, since the band already fit tightly and I cannot stand a too-tight band in a sports bra.

Since a sports bra is kinda pointless if you cannot move in it, I didn't keep it.

Everybody loves the Panache Sports Bra, but it's just not the right style for me.
I prefer my Shock Absorber bras, since they are light and thin, suitable for any kind of movement (even yoga!) and still give great support. Plus they are machine-washable!

The Panache Sport has been a big hit since its release, with fun colorways (grays, purples, pink, lime green, navy) and rave reviews. I thought I should see what the fuss was about, because a molde...

I was very sceptical about trying this bra as @Panache and I do not get along (although I can wear some @Masquerade), however I've been pleasantly surprised and I now don't know what I'd do without my @Panache Sports bras. Firstly, it gives great natural rounded shape for a sports bra and doesn't completely squash my breasts.
The 28 band is quite firm, but I think its important in a sports bra since that is where the support is coming from. I do a fair amount of high impact sports and I always feel well supported in this bra - including when running. My only gripe with it is that when I wear it in racer-back style the straps do dig in to my trapezius muscles (that run between neck and shoulder) after a while.
Altogether its the best bra I've come across for sport and I have just ordered the new sports swimsuit version so I can feel supported doing triathlons.

I really like that sports bra. Before these i had ShockAbsorber's non-wired sportsbra and these are so much better than ShockAbsorbers. These doesn't make my boobs flat like ShockAbsorbers. These are really comfortable to wear, i can use them whole day and it doesn't hurt anywhere.

Best sports bra ever!
Nice firm band that hasn't stretched out much at all, even with frequent wear.
Cups are fairly high, so do show under low cut tops.
Very supportive, perfect for netball/jogging/anything else I do.
The logo has faded after many wears, but the rest of the bra has held up very well!

I usually wear 28F but got this bra in 28FF because one size down and it felt too small in the cups. The band is quite tight, the 28 was good for me in the beginning, but now for some reason I have to wear it with an extender. My cup size might also have changed a little bit, there was very slight denting in the cup of the smaller boob in the beginning, then it went away, now it is again here.

I still like the bra very much! It has wires that are wide enough for me and the support is very good. The shape is amazing, it is rounded and lifted!! I think I get the best shape in this bra, even better than in Ewa Michalak bras!!!!

I love this bra! It is super comfortable, very supportive, and since it's an encapsulation-based sports bra, it still lifts and separates, giving a nice, uplifted, rounded shape. The cups run slightly big, so it fits my 34HH/32J breasts comfortably without any spillage or squeezing, though the gore doesn't quite tack. It's also the cutest large-bust sports bra I've found.
The underwire has quite a bit of padding around it, making this my most comfortable bra. If it didn't come up so high, I would probably wear it as a normal bra. Since I don't like to sleep bra-less, if I've been wearing one of my more poke-y bras during the day, I will switch into this one when I go to bed.

It's a very comfortable bra at first. It does seem to stretch out fairly easily and the cups run large since it is an encapsulation sports bra. I typically wear an HH or J cup and the cups are only slightly too small. However, this is my everyday bra.

This is the best sports bra I have ever tried on. I did not know this much support even existed! As the labels claim, it really reduces the bounce, I had practically none. The band is nice and tight, perfect for supporting, and the racer back clip is fantastic. Looks wise, it gives a nice rounded yet natural shape. I also like how it looks like a little athletic crop top (I have it in the black) rather than the normal encapsulating sports bras which I find quite unaesthetic.

On to the less fantastic aspects of it. Unfortunately, the shoulder straps do not adjust short enough for me ... to wear it without the racer back clip. Although I am quite short (5'1) this is not a problem I have experienced since finding my true band size. Luckily, I can just wear it with the racer back clip and that elimintates the issue. However, it is also quite shallow (or doesn't have enough immediate projection), and so my breasts kind of push it down to get some adequate depth. This is quite frustrating as it feels less supportive, so while it is supportive while not moving, it loses that a little when movement is involved. There is no bounce, but it feels quite strange and you can definitely notice it. Unfortunately, I don't think there really is a better alternative but overall I am mostly happy with this bra anyway. Just beware that it is shallow.

I love this bra! It is the only bra I own where the band actually fits! The cups aren't quite perfect, though -- there's a bit over overspill on one side, and wrinkling on the other. Sizing up would clearly lead to problems, but the 28DD isn't perfect. It still fits better than any sports bra I've ever tried on before!
