The seamless bra with removable cups and internal knit-in shaping that's cool enough to wear on its own in a steamy gym.
medium impact sports bras - reviews
Comfortable ...
I like this top a lot. The medium fit my size 36B perfectly and I actually like the cups which prevent getting the unflattering uniboob look. The only "issue" I have is it says to remove the cups to wash it and pulling them out and stuffing them back in the little opening is kind of a pain. Adjustable straps are a plus and I find it supportive enough for yoga, weight training and going to the gym.
Comfy!
I just love Athleta sports bras. This is the second type I've ordered and it's great. I like the "no headlights" feature and the ... very comfortable. The support is medium to low though so if you're running you may need greater support. I'm 5'8" and 132 lbs, a 34C, and ordered a medium and it fits great.
Most comfortable ... ever
I have four of these now! Extremely comfortable and they breathe nicely. Straps are great and don't dig into my shoulders. Great for low to medium impact sports--I play tennis, walk, golf. I always remove the cup liners/pads because they slip around. I have washed and dried these in the machines and they hold up great. I am a 40C and wear a Large.
very comfortable
I ordered a medium and a small. The medium fits great and is comfortable. I am small chested with a large rib cage/back area (36 A- size) so it is difficult to find a ... fit my chest without being too tight around the rib cage. I usually find sports bras very uncomfortable and too tight in the rib cage, making it hard to breathe . This ... fits great and looks good without flattening me out. I only had to adjust once during yoga class. If it washes as well as it wears, I will buy again.
Great sportsbra
First of all, I love the color... it's a smokey gray color that is so pretty. I love the shape of it and the fabric. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the medium was a bit tighter than I expected it to be... I am 5'9" , 145 lbs, 34C. I usually wear a Medium/ size 6. Once I removed the padding in the ... fit much better. I have washed it twice but did not dry it for fear it may shrink, It fits just perfectly-- snug but not overly tight. Great ...
Good sports ...
I was looking for a good sports ... adjustable yet provided medium impact support. This fit the bill. The pads are ok - I don't wear them because it is annoying to have to adjust them after washing the ...
Really nice ...
The fabric is soft & smooth against the skin. The medium size fits very well for me (36A approx.). I've never been able to find a "normal" ... fits my proportions without feeling like a shield maiden. Sports bras are my preferred undergarment but they don't do anything for "headlight" syndrome. The padding for this ... very thin with tapered edges; they are the most natural looking I've found. I do find the pads shift, when others have stated they don't, so that may be due to an individual's body type. I do have to extend the straps to their full length. I really like this ... have 2 currently but two things would make them better - 1. More colors; 2. having the pads fixed in place, or the option to do so.
Excellent exercise ... especially for small breasted women
I LOVE this ... am normally a 34-36A (5'7", 130lbs) and regular sports bras really flatten my chest so much that I look like I am 12. This ... gives really nice support and the softly lined cups give me just a little privacy and a nice small curve on top (ie. like a softly cupped bathing suit would). I have not washed it yet but will plan to remove the cups as it makes sense that they would shift during washing (again, as the ones in bathing suits do, they can be moved around) - this is the only reason I am giving it four stars - it would be so nice for this padding to be sewn in. I bought the medium and it fits really well - I really am happy it is not too tight like many other sports bras. It has performed well when exercising and actually looks just fine, almost cami like, underneath a sweatshirt. Love the scoop too - feels feminine. I plan to order another - I've never had a ... like it and am really happy to finally find one as good as this! Thanks Athleta!
Pleasantly surprised
I ordered this sports ... wear under tops with a low cut neckline, as a less bulky alternative to a camisole. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this sports ... exceptionally comfortable and offers very nice support and coverage. I'm a 34C, so I was expecting the typical smooshed appearance, but the movable cups create a pretty normal looking bustline. I ordered the medium in order to reduce the chances of creating that bulge that sometimes happens around the arm openings of a sports ... now have this item in several different colors and the only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is the price.
Not very supportive
This ... probably best suited for low to medium impact activities as the fabric is pretty thin and not terribly supportive. Also, while the straps are adjustable, they don't adjust to a very long length. For me, the longest length this strap allowed wasn't long enough. It isn't totally unusual for me for a non adjustable strap to be too short in a sports ... but generally the appeal of adjustable straps is a custom fit for a wide range of sizes.
Busty Babes Need Not Apply
I am a full 36C and I bought the medium based on the others reviews and the sizing description. I am spilling out of this ... medium. When I jumped up to test the support I got no more support than if I was wearing a tank with a shelf ... lovely color and very soft. Appears to be well constructed. However, I don't think I could even use this for yoga. I am debating about keeping it to sleep in because I like the color and it is soft against the skin.
