Perfect fit for the tall ...
Love this top. I'm 5' 10", 135 lbs, small B Cup, with a long torso, and a small belly pooch under my belly button. I normally have a hard time finding workout gear made for tall ... affordable and has great quality. Athleta is now my new source for finding the clothes I need to practice yoga, go running, walk my dogs, or hike for hours through the forrest. The top's material is soft and durable. I like that the top stays in place while I practice yoga and doesn't ride up my belly. I will be shopping for many more Tall Women's Athleta gear from now on.
Great top - - Pockets are roomy, length is a little longer than most.
The first time I wore this top for a short run I knew I would be doing my next race in it. It was supportive without being constricting. I race half ironman and iron distance tris and tend to develop a "food baby" by the end of the race. I don't feel comfortable in a sports bra because I am so pale and I like to have some pockets available and room for the food baby to develop. This top fits the bill - - it hit me at the hips and was somewhat loose and very unrestrictive around the belly but supportive on top (I'm only a 34B, I think I could possibly go XS on this top for more compression---I will try it on at the store!). The pockets are roomy - - I fit a few gels in each pocket for a very long run. The first race I did in this top was a half iron. I fell twice during the trail run portion of the race (roots everywhere!) and thought I had ruined the top. (I fell hard too, I later learned I had bruised my ribs). One side of the top was covered in mud and pebbles from the fall and wouldn't you know it - - it washed out and looks as good as new!!! I couldn't believe it! I will be ordering additional colors.
Best. Top. Ever. 3 Reasons
1. This top supports better than any sports bra I've ever had! Reviewers have noted that it is difficult to get on and off, but it's worth it since it holds everything in place so well. 2. Pockets in the back. Perfect for housekeys. 3. Great cut around the arms. Plenty of movement for sports like tennis or softball. I'll be purchasing more of these! I find it really helpful when people share their size, so for those of you who also find it helpful (5'1'', 125).
Pockets!
I purchased the 2X and it fits great! The material creates a gap in the neckline like others have mentioned but it doesn't bother me too bad. It fits snuggly but not suffocating. The pockets are awesome for tennis, which is what I purchased it for - I've been looking for something like this! If they would fix the gap in the neckline and offer more colors in my size I would buy 100 of these! {Also, I would rather there not be a built in sports bra and it just be a ... could wear my own sports bra. That's usually easiest for larger chested gals ;) }
Had High Expectations
After trying without success to find a less expensive work out top that would fit I finally caved and ordered from Athleta. Seeing as I am 5' 7" 114 lbs and a natural (as in I need more support than those surgically enhanced) 30DDD I knew finding a size that would work for my small frame and ample bust would be difficult. I ordered the small on the recommendation of the amazing customer service staff. Unfortunately it didn't fit tight enough around the shoulders or the rib cage so I tried the extra small knowing there was a good chance there wouldn't be enough fabric to cover my chest. As I suspected it still didn't provide enough support in the XS but my chest was spilling out everywhere. Seeing as I wanted it for spin class there was no way I was going to bend over with three inches of cleavage with a mirror at the front of the room. Really wanted to find something that would work. Unfortunately, I had the same problem with the Energy ... Back to square one. Guess I need to just get some amazing sports bras and then tanks without shelf bras so they will cover the girls. If you aren't crazy proportions both these tanks are probably awesome and true to the size guide. Gave it four stars because I think the problem is more me than the ... however I think more fabric in the chest (as in slightly higher neckline) would probably help a lot of people. Can't say enough great things about the amazing customer service. Although I haven't found the perfect item I am a loyal customer and have told everyone I know how great your company is. Also love that they didn't rush me at all on the phone when trying to do an exchange and were very helpful in trying to find something that would work.
Internal Bra= Weak
I am 36 B. Bought this in medium and send back for Large which fits better. I love the color, the racer back and the pockets. My complaint is that the "internal bra" is not very supportive. Sort of lightly smaches the girls. I will wear this with a sports bra underneath.
Great ...
I love this ... especially the side pocket for my ipod and ID. I ordered a size Large because my belly needs larger coverage than my 38B chest. This is a problem because you can see my sports bra peeking out. I probably should have ordered a medium but can't stand tight stuff on the belly. I hope to order a medium this fall after five pounds are shed.
Love it!
Was so excited to receive this top! The color is amazing... a very pretty orchid color. I'm 5'5, 140 lbs, 36C, and the fit in Med size is exactly right for me. The support is enough for active yoga and the eliptical, but I don't think it will provide enough support for running without a sports bra. The midsection helps hold in the small muffin top I've acquired which is an added bonus. Just ordered in another color.
Not the best for gals with DDs but otherwise a great top
I usually wear either a medium or large in Athleta tops and tried a large in this one because it has an internal bra and I need the extra room there (34DD). The chest fit okay but the waist was baggy - a medium may fit better except I expect the chest would be too small. And because the top wasn't designed for larger busts, if you fill out the top too much then it ends up pulling the fabric away from the armholes, revealing your sports bra on the sides (I'd definitely be wearing a sports bra underneath for support). I love the color (ordered green) and the back pockets, but had to return this one. I'll try it in a medium just in case! Verdict: Athleta, please design some sport tops for DDs like you have done so wonderfully in the swim suit line!
I'm searching for a sports bra/top that is actually designed for a woman who works out and has muscles. Additionally, I'm searching for a sports bra that "twarts the headlights" as Athleta puts it. This top is great; one issue I have with just about every sports bra is that it would dig in between my shoulder and my neck (I'm not a hulk, but I'm an avid Crossfitter, so I have muscles) and this top doesn't do that. However, it doesn't deliver on "thwarting" the headlights. It's a gorgeous color, but I'll probably return it.
Ok top, 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.
