Front adjustable lightly lined racerback sports bra. The band is firm; I tried the 36C previously and returned it because it was uncomfortably tight. I should have sized down in the cup because they are too big on me. The cups fold on the sides, but it's not noticeable under a shirt and it's still comfortable enough to wear. Cups would come up pretty high but I think my boobs managed to fold them rather than have them go up to my neck.
For reference: best fit regular bra is Cleo Lucy 34E. Fob with short and narrow roots.
I was surprised with the quality for the price and being an unusual brand. The cups are lined with really nice flexible spacer foam so it’s light and airy but adds some coverage. The only strange thing is the sizing the tag says US 32H, UK32H, EU70I, FR85I normally US 32H is UK 32FF or G. So I thought I was buying a regular US32H(online only listed US sizing) but no it’s more like a UK 32GG or 32H so too big for me. It’s nice though I would probably buy it again in US/UK32G lucky for free returns on Amazon Prime. I would recommend trying it, but remember the cup size is closer to UK size even though it looks like US sizing.
Very short-waisted, center full, close set, immediately projected, somewhat narrow breasts....
Finally, a sports bra that doesn't compress my upper breast tissue with a strap. And, it provides nipple protection. This cup offers space for center fullness, close-set tissue, and immediate projection. It it may not be ideal for those who need apex projection, because the cup is shallow and wide. However, the front-adjusting straps allow the cup to accommodate some shape variety. These straps, I think are what enable this bra to fit without compressing my upper roots.

This is not a bra I'd recommend for low-set and/or tall users. ...The straps have limited adjustability. And, I can comfortably wear the straps fully extended. Short straps! I've never worn a bra with Velcro straps; hoping I don't experience a wardrobe malfunction https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> During the trial wear, they held perfectly and provided excellent support.
The band is 1.25" wide and partially stretchy. Under the cups, the band is non -stretch. This is a feature I love. Non-stretch bands provide great support for my immediately projected breasts. And, the short, elastic portion of the band allows me to breathe easily. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> However, the band is obviously too long for a 28" underbust. Remarkably , the cup design combined with the back straps provide admirable lift.
This is a bra I can live in....during winter. It is too insulating for spring, summer, and fall. But, a comfortable winter bra is just what I needed. Read more 153 more words
Although Shock Absorber bands run small, Syrokan bands are true to size (of the two models I've tried). Syrokan's smallest band is 32. This bra looks similar to Shock Absorber 4490, but I receive significantly less support in the Syrokan because the band is true to size. Unfortunately, I need a 30" band on my 28" underbust and Syrokan is available in 32"+ bands.
The cup easily accommodated my projected breasts. I felt gently supported, but aware that the band was a little too big and a portion of breast escaped through the top. If a Shock Absorber hadn't arrived the same day, I may have kept the ...$20 Syrokan.
I'd happily wear this bra for yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, .... If you have a larger underbust, you may find this appropriate for jogging, but it didn't provide enough support for me to even try Kinect Sports Track and Field. I swapped Syrokan for Panache Sport Wireless before Kinect-ing.
Because the band provides most of the support, I need a smaller band and a slightly taller cup for proper support.
