Happy to find a comfortable sports bra! Holds me tight without being uncomfortable. This bra band size does seem to run a bit small, though. My measurements told me I was a 30FF and when I tried my sister size, 32E, the band was uncomfortably tight. I exchanged it for a 34E which fits much better. I wouldn't wear this as a regular day to day bra only because the entire middle section/gore does not site flat against my sternum, but I don't find that to be a problem with a sports bra, and not unexpected considering there is no underwire. Expensive, but worth it! No more double bra at the gym for me.
Best fit I've gotten from this bra so far, but still not perfect. Feels equally comfortable on the tightest and loosest hooks, and definitely more secure in the cross-back strap position.
The fact is, it's just NOT short-person friendly, and the gore is way too wide for me. This may be the best I can do in this bra.
I'll have to take it for a test workout before I decide whether or not to keep it.
I got this bra as a gift several months ago before a big hiking trip. It fit me superbly at the time, when I was a 34DD/E. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, I grew out of it pretty rapidly. I definitely need to size up a cup.
What I like about this bra is that it does give great support and really minimizes the bounce. I could wear it for 6+ hour hikes and sometimes forget I was wearing it. It is that comfortable. The straps sit comfortably and the material was good for minimizing boob sweat. It's also very easy to clean and keeps its shape/snugness well. It lived up to all its hype for me. Sad that I can't wear it anymore, but hopefully I can find someone in need of one who will appreciate it.
I had to go down in size with my sports bra. As with my old Panache Sports Bra, I'm again very satisfied!
It's the slightest bit small in one of the cups, but that wouldn't justify going a whole size up. The band is comfortably firm, but not scratchy.
For general points on fit and comfort, you can see my old review. All those points are still valid https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I really wanted to like this bra. It looks great on, nice uplifted shape.
Not supportive enough for running without the upper clasp but gives me a sore neck/supper back with. Absolutely no bounce with both clasps done up but lingering neck pain after a long run means it is not as comfortable as my usual Freya Active underwired.
