I've been trying sports bras for over a month, looking for something for high impact to hold the girls in place. Most bras marked "high impact" dont give me any less bounce than my everyday bras!!! I really wanted wireless but finally caved as this came up over and over in reviews. I read to size down in cups if you didnt have a lot of upper fullness. My top to bottom fullness is pretty even but I have short roots which seems to make me functionally FoB, which explains why when I tried this months ago in a 34E I didnt like it, as there was a ... ton of empty space.
Anyway, after trying this on I'm seriously impressed. The gore only tacks softly but is relatively narrow and low which is perfect for my center fullness, which is my biggest problem with wired sports bras. The wires are wide enough and the band and straps feel perfect. Everything is soft and padded and feels amazing when I first put it on. I have a tiny bit of quadding on my large side but I know the next size up is too big. I like the height and coverage. So many sports bras are so high at the straps that they chafe my arms for HIIT workouts! And this REALLY reduces bounce! The only one I have that's better is my Knix Catalyst, but the back strap adjustment is uncomfortable for any repetitive arms/upper back movement and digs in. Why they didn't do front adjust straps I'll never understand, as that would make it my Holy Grail of Sports Bras. Heading to try it out today and if it feels as good in a workout as it does at home this will be a close second though!!
This color is very pretty, but not practical with my workout wardrobe, but it was the cheapest on Amazon. I'll definitely be getting more colors if I end up liking it!
