This is my all-time favorite sports bra for my regular running and yoga. The encapsulation and moulded form keep everything in place, yet don't smush me so I can't breath. I also love the underwires to prevent a mono-boob effect, and the wires are so well enclosed in fabric that I don't notice they are there (so no rubbing or poking at all!)
The shape is a very lovely, upright, rounded shape, slightly broad, and so "not sports bra-like" I've worn it with regular tank tops and shirts and been very comfortable. The center area comes up higher than my regular balconette and half-cup bras, so you wouldn't ... wear this with anything lower cut, but otherwise, it's quite pleasant.
I like the little hook on the strap behind your neck, which hooks to the other strap to make it a convertible racer back style. I use this style when I'm running, but leave the straps straight for yoga since it's not high-impact. I find it very easy to clip and unclip, and also to get in and out of this bra before an after activity.
The photos of this don't do it justice, as it's really more flattering in real life, with the center of the chest seams wrapping around in a flattering cut. The straps also are thick to be comfortable while working out, but not thicker than my wide-trapped tank tops so still attractive and not like a full vest.
I own two of these so I can cycle them between workouts, and I know I'm supposed to handwash everything but lack of time has me tossing these sports bras in to a lingerie bag and in to my washing machine for a thorough cleaning. I let them air dry afterwards, and they have held up beautifully the last few months I've had them. (Haven't needed a new set yet.)
