I don't have much upper fullness, and had to size down 2 cup sizes. The wide gore in this does not fit between my breasts. (Freya active is a bit more narrow and friendly to my shape). This bra is very tall- which is great for a lot of people but not me with my short roots. The wires of the gore end at a normal height but the top fabric of the bra extends significantly higher, which makes it poke out away from my body- it is noticeable thru tshirts, otherwise I would like it as an everyday bra. The straps are a but too long for me.
That being said, I still love it for exercising. Once I sized down the 2 cups, it controls bouncing nicely. The padded underwires are awesome. Awesome. Why don't all bras do this? And the fabric and design really do minimize boob swear and keep me cool.

Love it, fits great. The wires are perfect for me, maybe a smidge toward narrow on one side. It's so tall though that if I do anything toward a sitting position for too long it gets pushed into my belly below. I did not size down in the cup. However, I did sister size from 34F to 36E due to the tightness of the band. With my asthma, anything super snug while exercising is a problem. I only hope the band doesn't stretch too much too quickly so I can get a good long use out of this bra. As someone else suspected, sometimes I do get a dimple in the cup on my smaller side.

Band is very firm and wide, cups definitely run big (I sized down one cup size from 36F to 36E).

Straps are comfy, wide & soft but rather short, especially when clipped together. They are rather close set, good for people with narrow shoulders (like me), but borderline too close, again even more when clipped together.

The sides could be a tad higher for my taste (they were great in the 36F, but the cups were too big then).

Shape on me is a tad pointy / east-west, but then I don't have super round and close-set boobs. Your mileage may vary. If you have asymmetric boobs, you might ... get unsightly dimples in the foam where your breast doesn't fill the cup. They'll most likely show through clothing. Therefore no "excellent" in the appearance section. Very nice for a sports bra, though!

Fabric, construction, comfort superb.

UPDATE: The band runs super snug (it sometimes puts uncomfortable pressure on my sternum/stomach but it's still (borderline) okay — next time I will definitely size up in the band) so if you're sensitive and/or have medium/small boobs and/or only want this bra for low-impact activities like yoga etc. I'd recommend going up a band size.

Also, the center gore is rather wide (almost an inch), so this might cause trouble for very close-set breast (still, it's (borderline, again) okay for me).
