Panache Sports Ultimate Impact #5021B in 34GG
I ordered this bra in 32HH and 32J, but what Amazon sent was 32HH and 34GG. So this one is nowhere near being able to fit me, but figured since I had it in my hands, I’d go ahead and measure it before returning.
Now about this bra. It is a padded underwired Sports bra. While it comes in many colorways, I ordered them in the Stripe Print, which is a white bra with Grey stripes and netting, with neon yellow accent stripes, inside of cups, and under the netting, . I love the print!
The padding is what I’d call medium thickness, ... and for comparison, firmer and more dense than Ewa or Comexim padded bras. I assume this is for adding support/lock down during workouts. With this firmer foam, there is almost no stretch or give to the cups, so the unstretched and stretched cup measurements are only ½” apart.
The straps are also padded, and go from narrow to wider over the shoulders then back to narrow on the back. Adjustments for straps are only half way.
And for the technical aspects:
The band measures 29” and stretches to a max of 34.25”. It has 3 hooks and 3 rows of eye loops.
Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 11”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 11.5”
I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.
The cups are wide at 7.25”and tall at 9.5”.
Gore height is: 7" but wire ends at 4.5, so the top of the gore would be soft. While the gore area where the wires end is 1" wide, the wires themselves sort of float in the channel and are overlapped at the top where they meet for a hard width of only 0.6". The gore is foam padded as well.
