sports tops for women - reviews
Favorite Top
I own 4 of these tops (they always have new, fabulous colors!). The size small fits me perfect, I'm 5'8", 135lb, 36-27-39. This is my favorite top - the support is excellent (I'm a small B cup- I don't require an additional sports bra), and I've never had an issue with these rising up my waist. I layer this top under long sleeve tops and jackets in the winter. The only issue I've had with this top is that it doesn't always "thwart the headlights"... other than that this is the perfect functioning top.
Well supported
I love the PR tank. I own several. I still wear it with a sports bra with it but I do that with all my ...
Love this top; great support for a tri, for a big person!
I bought this top when starting to swim for training, and practicing for some fun/sprint triathlons. It is everything I could wish for. I am NOT a small woman - athletic and not slim, 5'10", 200 lbs, DD size breasts, and this tank covers and supports exactly how I need it to when swimming, running and biking. I got a size Large, Tall. It is easy to swim in, with the razor back staying out of your way on the shoulders and it's form fitting so no drag in the water. The length is great, and that's always a major problem for me. It is definitely form fitting, so you have to be comfortable showing your shape, but I'm no model and I am comfortable jogging through Boston in this ... do not wear another sports bra underneath (with the fit I got, I could not comfortably fit one), but also don't feel like I need it. The small pockets on back are great for your ID, keys, or to hold a little snack during long workouts.
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).
Great Top
The PR Tank is the best top I've purchased from Athleta. I took a chance and sized down and it paid off. The material is the perfect weight, the length is a perfect mid hip. I ordered the purple and the color is fabulous. I always wear a sports bra under all my ... so for me the support part doesn't matter that much. It's not low cut and has plenty of coverage. For size reference I'm 5'4 125# and a 32DD. Highly recommend.
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 tank and I could wear my own sports bra. That's usually easiest for larger chested gals ;) }
Well designed
Purchased XS, beautiful aqua color. 5'6", 130, 34c or 36b ish. I like my running ... really snug on my chest, so this XS size is perfect, and is not too tight anywhere else. I don't think I need the individual cups for each breast- I would be fine with uniboob. I will not need to wear a sports bra underneath with this one. It sits a couple inches below the waistband on my running shorts. I like the breathable mesh down the lower spine and the access of having the pockets on the sides instead of centered in the back.
PR Tank is a good workout buddy.
Great coverage, solid fit. Sides of chest provide better coverage than other built in support tops I've used. A little less support than I expected when running, but pretty average for typical sports bras. I'm a 36 C and ordered the small for a snug fit. The side pockets can hold my iphone while trail running. Never bounced out!
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!
Liking it so far
Purchased this to go with the quick step capris as pictured in one of the new spring outfits. Ordered a medium - I am usually between a small & medium in most ... & am a 34DD. Fit is great in the chest although I will double down with a sports bra, as I always do. I don't like any kind of movement from the ladies in the gym or out on runs. Planning on wearing this later on in the spring & into summer for my training runs. Love the purple color, will be ordering the green & turquoise if this one works out as well as I think it will.
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.
