    This is one of my favorite bras. It's super supportive, the gore tacks firmly and the straps don't shift around on your shoulders. People have suggested sports bras to me in the past but many of them don't have underwires, so they usually aren't supportive enough. This has one, and it's cushioned so you can wear it for hours and move around a lot without any discomfort. It would be ideal for a bustier woman to wear for exercise. And as a guy with gynecomastia, one of my favorite things about this bra is the sillhouette of the straps and cups under a shirt. It's not obvious at all, and pretty much looks like an undershirt.

    Black Camo colorway

    • Wireless Sports bras tend to hold everything together by compression, so they are minimizing and tighter than a normal bra. This is often not comfortable for many, but sizing up to lessen the compression loses support. Darned if you do, darned if you don't, right?

      I am glad this one works well for you. A good sports bra is not an easy find!

      I guess that explains why sports bras always feel either too tight or just totally useless. I've only tried two others, and they weren't much help. This one is great though. It says "doesn't fit" in my review, but it does fit. I was just nitpicking about the cups. If you're on the cusp between cup sizes, don't go a size bigger with this bra.

      You can override the fit vs doesn't fit by choosing the "continue to personal assessment " option at the bottom of the fit set page. It has yes/ no options for each area to mark if you feel the fit issue is a problem or not, plus a comment box for you to add your personal assessment if desired. My bras never tack, but if it's within a 2 finger range off my sternum and the bra is otherwise comfortable/fits, I override the tack to not be an issue. Fit is a matter of personal interpretation and Comfort is key!
