this bra is like a feat of engineering it is so high quality and thoughtfully made! the band is nice and tight yet soft and very comfortable. the wires, straps, and hooks are slightly padded for comfort. the cups give a rounded shape.

for my boobs, the only ill-fitting part is the gore. it's too wide for my boobs (which have like virtually no space between them) so my boobs can't conform to the cups, lessening the total support i get. the gore also doesn't tack but this is not bad, because if it did, my breasts would be too separate-looking for a sports bra. i like a bit of a flattened, boob-loaf look for sports bras.

Update: The cups are too small now and cut into my top bust area and the parts that escape the top jiggle as I wear it.

I got this bra in black size 28DD half a year ago. It has lasted well and stretched out by a few cm (note: I havent followed propper washing/wearing recommendations and have frequently worn it multiple days in a row). When I first got it it was snug comfortable on the loosest hooks (my loose measurement is 26.75 in and snug 25.5) so if you are a true 28 band and want this bra in black I would use an extender or size up. Overall the cups fit well with a bit of space in the cups but none across the top when I got it (I was ... a 26DD and have tall roots, although I heard it runs large if you have short roots or are FOB) it's now slightly small in the cups but I love this bra and I'm taking it with me to the grave. Overall it had, and definitely still does, really good support. I wear it most days even when I'm not active but am trying to rotate another bra with it as to prolong its life.

I bought this bra on sale at a Nordstrom Rack. 28 bands are online only at Nordstrom, so this must have been an online return. Sadly it was too small for me, and I sold it. I loved the colors, wish it had been a 28E or 30DD.

This is the best sports bra I have ever tried! It can be used with a snugg band and it doesn't hurt due to the underwire linning. The padding is very light and at the same time, see-through-proof.

I belive there is a difference in sizing of the old and new models. On a recent model I was sized a 28DD (even though I usually use 28E), and on an older model a 28DD is definitly too small in the cup. So be aware of that when buying online.

This bra is super supportive and I believe true to size. It for me well when I measured a 28DD. I'm slightly projected slightly FOB and narrow.

Fit was perfect, extra comfortable but also supportive at the same time!!

Fits true to size! Very well made and made of strong sturdy materials.

MUCH better and prettier than my Freya Active. Freya you need to up your game! Please start by making smaller band sizes/ true to size.

Love the contrast in colours too. Loved it so much I bought it in purple with two matching briefs!!! 😄 happy days...

Update:

I tried this bra again. It is comfortable on the tightest hooks, but not quite tight enough for a vigorous cardio workout. I could feel my boobs moving around a lot. I like everything strapped down really tight when I work out, so this bra is a no go for me.

...........................................................

My underbust is currently 26". I purchased this bra gently used from a Bratabaser. I haven't had time to measure it yet, but I wore it once to exercise in. I put it on the loosest hooks and it felt snug but the cups were slightly unfilled. During my workout I had to pull the bra up a couple of times and I regretted my decision to use the loosest hooks. I will try it again on a tighter setting and see if this solves any problems.

This bra has been too small for me from the offset, but there are a few things I can say about it! I love the appearance! It really encourages me to exercise when I feel good in what I'm wearing, and this made me want to wear it for looks alone; I liked wearing it under sheer blouses as it's not very revealing. On my 28inch ribcage this bra felt comfortably firm, I would've been perfectly supported exercising in it. The cups cut in to my full-on-top breasts, but I've learned that this happens even in the correct cup size with this bra. Perhaps my breasts are high ... set? This bra is very tall, the centre gore did not lay flat on me, but I felt very secure in it. The shape is round and uplifted, though I had serious quadboob above the cup. The materials are soft, but I was unable to wear this bra for long periods of time due to pain and discomfort, though this was likely caused by the too small cups. I prefer bands that are +2 from my measurements, so I would take a 30 band in future. I only wore this bra a few times, for kickboxing classes, and it certainly did a good job of supporting me and making me feel protected.

Runs true to size. fits perfectly on my right boob but wrinkles just a little on my left. the band fits snugly and has enough hooks and eyes to plausibly last me forever. the extra wide straps are easy on my shoulders and feel very sturdy. easily one of the most comfortable bras I own. gives a nice separated rounded shape rather than a flattened uniboob, and I love the colour scheme. surprisingly effective at eliminating bounce, more so with the j-hook. I would have liked to size down if it came in 28D (it doesnt) but this is still a very good fit and works as advertised. Highly recommend, especially for a true 28DD.

Stretch a just a little, sometimes feels tight. Doesn't poke underarm, which is good as I have a wide root. White colour easily stains by other coloured fabric, the colour not easily washed out. Wide strap makes it very comfortable on the shoulders.
