high impact sports tops - reviews
Awesome tank!
As my first Athleta purchase, I wasn't sure about sizing, quality etc, however, with their 'don't sweat it' return policy, it wasn't a gamble. And I really love the tank. It is great for a high energy zumba class or a lower impact yoga, pilates or other mat type class. Great coverage up ... very flattering shape and feels firm without being too squishy. I like the longer length for my inverted yoga poses. I am about 5'4", 110lb and a 34B, and the small is perfect. I'd buy this again.
Terrific ...
This ... fits amazingly well - very slimming. Decent support (although not enough for high impact activities). I ordered the tall and love the additional length. It makes a great summer casual ... too!
My new favorite running ...
This is an excellent ... I've always avoided bra tops because of my long torso. I don't like tops that creep up or are too short, showing of my middle. I bought this from Athleta because it came in Tall. The ... perfect. I am 5'9", 125 lbs. The Tall small is the perfect size. The material is high quality. It does not feel hot even on very hot days. I love the 2 deep back pockets. I can use this ... my long runs and carry my gels. My only regret is I could only buy 1 right now.
Love it.
This tank is super comfortable and very flattering. Even better it has two large pockets on the back. This is great for those 4 hour trail runs I do since most modern good running shorts lack in pockets and I need to put the fuel somewhere. These make it double nicely for mountain bike riding. What really amazes me is that the tank is so comfortable that I was very skeptical about the "high impact rating" and thought it would not be supportive enough for running. However, great news! At least for me (small end of the B cup) it is plenty supportive for running and earns its high impact rating for at least my size. It is also so nice and flattering (does not smush at all), you can wear it around town with shorts or a skirt. I like it so much I ordered a second one.
Wanted to love this...
And wanted to keep it but I don't have enough boobage so I'm returning it :( I got the kelly green in a small and was hoping to use it for running and hiking. Gorgeous vibrant color and it fits OK except: 1- ... not snug enough for high impact activities and 2- I need a little more to fill the mold cup. I usually wear 32B - C bras and sports bras so I thought it would fit. The little back pockets would have been good to hold a power gel or something but I wouldn't stash keys in it coz it's not secure and could slip out.
Excellent ... Small B and Below
I purchased the green PR tank, and love everything about it. The fabric is durable and well made, plus the shelf bra holds like a real running bra! I used this bra for a hike the other week, and it did splendid. People commented on the back pockets, which is great for holding IDs or keys. The only con I would say this bra has is if you are a C cup or above, you will have to wear an additional sport bra underneath for running. However, for other activities that are not as high impact, it will do the job. Again, I would recommend this bra only for small B and below cup sizes if you plan to wear it alone.
one of my favorites
I love this tank. The fit is great and the support works. For D+ cup support, I need to wear another bra with it for running or high impact activities... but for yoga or walking I can go without. I love the back pocket detail. The fabric has great performance qualities. It washes and wears really well.
Great ... overall. Obviously, good quality materials were used. I'd say if your bust is larger than an A cup you need to wear a sports bra under it for high impact activities. The waist is not too tight. I am 5"3 and a C cup. I ordered a medium and it was huge! The small fits perfect, but just not enough support for a runner! That is the only reason I gave it 3 stars.
If I only had a smaller chest
I love this tank. The material was great, good quality. I got it in the green. Unfortunately I followed the sizing chart instead of going with my instincts. I got a large which compressed my D sized bust to the point of complete discomfort. I should have gone with an XL but thought the sizing chart would know better. Returned it. If you run this is probably ideal for you. There are two pockets in the back, wicking material, high impact chest support even for larger chest, and a build in "molded" bra.
Ok ... not enough support
Bought a sz small which fit well, but it says support is high and I would have to disagree, I'm a 34c, 5'2", 115#, would've had to have worn another sports bra under to get enough support and coverage. Also when I put it on there was a scratchy material under the right arm hole which made it really uncomfortable. I am returning and trying another style.
Not impressed, it''s going back
Bought this shirt for my race day because it said it was high -impact for A D cups. My D cups will not have any support in this tank...sad because the shirt is cute.
