Great sports bra. Tested it during a power yoga class and I had no bounce issues. It's comfortable and separates unlike most standard sports bras. It seems very sturdy so far.

It's very comfortable, and gives me a much nicer shape than other sports bras. However, because of its light padding this sports bra feels warmer than the unpadded Shock Absorbers I own.
I feel really supported in it, even without clipping the straps together in the back - I cannot really do this comfortably, because I need long straps.
The band feels very tight and is just right for a sports bra.

Despite being slightly too small in the cups, I get better support from this than any other sports bra I've tried.

Best sports bra I've ever worn. As far as I can tell, it runs true to size. Hasn't yet stretched out.

First I have to say, that this bra did not fit me. I would need a 32J / 30JJ which Panache does not make.

Since I heard that the cups run big on this one (I can't say if it's true since I tried a wrong size) I hoped a 34H might fit. *wishful thinking*

The band was too big, I could fasten it on the tightest set of hooks right away. For comparison: the band on a Shock Absorber sports top in the same size is just right for me.

Other I have to say that the bra is very pretty and does look good (for a sports bra) and it is the most comfiest bra I ever tried! The wires are padded so they do not dig in.

I recommend this, if you fit into the size range.

its a little tight and I was debating going up to the F, but for a sports bra, I figured tight would be better.

It makes a lovely shape with separate boobs. Unfortunately the cups have too much projection for me, I may as well have some space left at the wires, and the band is too loose too. But a 28DD should fit perfect for me! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This is the most comfortable sports bra I've ever had. Separate cups keep my boobs apart well enough to prevent sweaty cleavage. I've only worn the straps the regular way, but I think the racer back option is nice too.

The 32 band is admittedly "too tight", but this is a choice that I've made. I think that a sports bra should be tight, to prevent any chance of the cups/underwire moving around and causing abrasion. I can definitely breath in it, plus it feels comfortable even after hours of wear (e.g. day trips on the bike).

If I could change something about this bra, it would be the ... appearance - It looks a bit bulky and wide. Long hair can sometimes get caught in the racer back hook.

Edit: I've used the bra and it's "sister" in another colour for over a year now. I think they are a size too small in the cup and I might do better in a 32H - I've considered 34GG too but the band might be too loose. I haven't used the racerback option, because the straps stay on my shoulders just fine. Also, because of my long torso, the racerback clip is too high for me and puts pressure on my neck.

The support level of the bra is very good. Actually so good that now, that my breasts aren't taking my attention, I have become aware that my bum and tummy are jiggling https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> What I don't like about the bra is that while it look like it gives almost total coverage to the chest, it really doesn't. When I bend over, my cleavage shows. And when I'm upside down, my boobs hit my chin. So there is still some room for improvement.

This is one of the most comfortable bras I have ever worn. It is the first sports bra that I have had that is supportive and holds my breasts in place without much bounce without constricting them. The under wire sits firmly in place while almost imperceptible. The added racer back clasp at the back allows a more support and range of movement if needed. The straps broaden at the top of the shoulder and are padded. It looks great under a t shirt and fantastically comfortable to wear all day long.

This bra is still new so I cannot yet comment on ... how much it will stretch out but it is worth noting that the band is a very snug fit. The band while on and closed is perfect but I have on the first few attempts found it hard to get it closed on the loosest clasp. Personally I don't need a larger band size but I do measure at 28" while standing upright and 29" while bent over horizontally so perhaps a larger band size may be worth taking into consideration when trying this one out.

This was my second try with the Panache sports bra. It didn't go all the way home. Too big cups. Last time I ordered a 28e and this time a 28ff. I really thought I would need at least 2 cup sizes bigger but I was wrong. And I was not alone with this asumption either, I put my 28e on fit request and some even thought I'd need a 28g! Oh well, I think that's due to my superduper high on chest boobs. They already are very far up, so when a too-small cup pushes them even further... Yeah, I can see how so many thought my ... cup size was waaay off, even I thought so. Anyway, I had it in black and now I got it in pink. The pink is absolutely gorgeous! It's so vivid and strong!

The band was snug, just like the previous one. The cups had too much volume and were too wide. The straps were too long even in the racerback option, just like I experienced last time. (I'll alter this when I get the cups right) 28f, here we go!

My best fit.
I tried a 32g and 32H which where too small and too big, so the 32GG fit ! It was pretty tight, but comfortable.
I've lost some weight and its a bit big in the band. I haven't worn it excessively but I close it on the middle hook (for comfort). If for sports, I'd close it on the tightest. I have to tighten the straps all the way, and its okay, but for sports, they should be tighter. When I sit down, the straps rise from my shoulders.
The cups was almost cutting in at first, but now they don't. When I sit ... down, they gap a lot though. I'd like to try a cup down soon, and a tighter band, but I'll wait until its really nessecary.
I use it as an everyday bra (when I can't stand the discomfort of my other bras). It gives a perfect round shape, but I think it's add a bit of bulk and its too wide. By that, I mean than it makes my chest a bit wider, so I'd prefer a more centered shape for everyday wear. I'm conscious about it, so I'd never wear it to a party or with lots of people. But around the house, or walking or grocery shopping I don't mind. It's very comfy and I use it the most of my bras.
But for sports, I'd need a tighter size. The band does ride up, but its not really an issue like it is with other bras. It doesn't slide down in the front like most bras do on me. So for now, it's great. I'd say it runs a bit big in the cup, but the band seems true to size and very firm. I'm full on top so I worry that a smaller size would cut in, despite it being too big now.
Another issue is that I don't really know how to wash it haha.
But all in all, it's AMAZING. Best sports bra ever! I'm never buying a different type of sports bra.

In my opinion this Sports bra is definitely one of the BEST. Too bad it took me sooo long to receive them and then it took me a little longer to figure out my size! Geez! This one is too small for me in the top of the cup and the band is a little too big!

83% less bounce*

Than what? Me running naked? Yup. *Compated to no bra at 32E.
This is a decent sports bra. I still have some movement so I would not use this for high impact work out. For yoga, Pilates, weights - not an issue.

I am between a 30 and 32 - probably should have gone with the 30, but it's a good snug. Little bit of side boob spillage, but that's better than the bra cutting into the underarm.

Construction of bra feels legit. Keeps a womanly, rounded appearance to the breasts, but they feel secured. For myself, I might want to go down a band and up a cup size.

Comfortable, super supportive, snug band

great bra very supportive. I wish a 26H or 26HH would exist because i had to put it on the tides hook right away, but that's because i'm a 24/26. I also would have wanted the straps to be fully adjustable. But nonetheless Great for horseback riding. I also found it very pretty for a sports bra.

I think this is the best sports bra I'm going to find in my size. It's pretty supportive (although not as supportive as the berlei ultimate performance bra (australian) when my boobs were still small enough to fit into it ;( )

LOVE the pink colour though!! And it looks great under tops.

The centre gore is a bit too wide on me - the wires always sit on one of my boobs instead of in the middle of both of them, and the cups are a little too wide for me - when i take the bra off the marks from the underwire are wider than my boobs.

But I'll keep wearing this bra cos it looks good and the support is good!

This is my favorite sports bra ever and totally worth the money! It's comfortable and it does a great job (no bouncing even when I ride horses!!). Plus, the profile/shape is still nice and the colors and appearance are appropriate for wearing without a shirt .

It isn't the most bounce eliminating bra I own (that's the Lynx Zoom) but it is incredibly comfortable, especially for a sports bra and does a pretty good job eliminating bounce. The only bits that do bounce are the little tissue above the top of the cups. The cups are nice and opaque which is good under lighter tops. I feel like it fits true to size with a firm band.

Fits well and is comfortable while supporting very well. I wish all bras would be this nice looking and fit as well. I think I´ll have to get more excercise hobbies because I own this good sports bra! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

ETA. I had to change the "fits" to "didn´t fit" because I realise now that there still is some quadboobing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> After trying 28FF I also realised that the 30 band is too big for me.

I absolutely love this sports bra and got it in different colours, just to notice now that the size is wrong after all https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I have this same bra and size in pink as well, see my review there.
