womens fitness wear - reviews
great sports ...
I bought this ... just a few weeks ago for running and tennis and really like it for both. It is comfortable and does a great job of wicking away sweat. I'm a newcomer to nice exercise clothes so I may appreciate it even more than the next person, but it is sylish and flattering, and makes me happy to ... pockets on either side on the back are especially great for tennis balls. I like that it is feminine while still being really functional. I am 125 lbs, " 5'6', ... size A cup and bought a small, which fits great. I would definitely recommend this ...
Nice workout ...
I really like this ... very fitted. I typically ... size small and that is what I got in this ... do like the fit, but there is no play room. My only complaint is I wish the armhole was shaved out a little bit... it rubs a little under my arm, but not enough for me to be unhappy with the purchase. I still ... proudly! The fabric is very comfy.
Workin'' Out!
This is the first "official" work out ... have ever owned. I usually wear a sports bra with a ... now know what I have been missing. This PR ... fantastic. The support is so good, that during indoor soccer, when I ran, I felt no "movement"..! The bust area is fitted and flattering, yet the body flares out a little so that you are not constricted during Yoga or Cardio Barre. I am 5'7" and 120 lbs and wear a 34D and the medium was perfect. The only negative that I can say is that I bough the black and white and the white was too see through for me to wear comfortably in public!
Didn''t expect to like this so much!
The PR ... flattering and great fitting ... blue is the 2nd one I've bought and it is such a pretty color. I'm 5'11 with enhanced 34D's and the tall/small is a nice size for me (I typically wear a 6). If you are in between sizes, go down. It is snug with excellent support at the ... flares out just slightly at the bottom so it doesn't ride up or look like sausage casing. :) Love the cool mesh fabric in the back and the pockets are perfect for gels. It was perfect to ... theme park as it dried quickly after the "splash" rides.
Love the Pockets - What''s Up with the Neckline?
I am 5'10", 165 lbs, 34DD. I go between M and L in Athleta fitness tops, and in the PR Tank I got the L. The pockets are fantastic - for gym workouts, I stash my iPhone in one side with Pandora streaming, and tissues in the other, for my nose streaming. :-) My only issue is with the neckline - it just doesn't lay right. It kind of puckers/buckles right in the middle. Both the M and L did this when I tried them on, so it's not that it's too big on me. If not for that, I would get one in every color. As it is, I am debating getting a second one. The pockets are genius, but would definitely not be practical for tennis balls (as suggested in the photo).
Love the look of this top
I just bought the 5th color in this top. Very cute and flattering. A bit tight in the chest and I am not big chested (32b)! I usually wear a sports bra underneath for complete support in my fitness classes.
Shelf bra too tight, but it stretched out a touch
Although I love this ... now, when I first put it on, I had to squeeze it over my ribcage and felt like I was slipping into a sausage wrap. I ordered a small. I'm 5'7", 125 lbs, ... 34A bra and always ... small Athleta ... shelf bra fit too tightly, but the rest of the shirt fit so well that I gave it a chance. I went for a hike and within the first hour I had completely forgotten about the shirt. In other words, it stretched out the slightest bit and it is now very comfortable. I have since washed it twice and wore it for backpacking trip, which included some strenuous hiking. All the while, it has fit perfectly. I got the deep pink color and it goes beautifully with all shades of neutral hiking shorts! Such a great pop of color. I also like that the length is long enough that it reaches my hips. My only advice is that if you are sometime borderline between sizes at Athleta, order the next size up and you should be happy.
One of my favorite tops for running and cycling
I purchased this ... last year followed by another this year and might even go for a third. This is a snug fitting ... which took me some time to get used to, but the way it fits I don't really think I would want a bigger size. I ... large and am DD, but always ... sports bra underneath. I could probably get away without one especially cycling, but I like the extra support. The best thing about this ... nice sized pockets in the back. I find it harder and harder to find shorts with a decent sized pocket and usually have my keys and iphone while I workout so they are perfect. They're also great for sport gels or mini water bottles. I've never tried swimming in it, but I'm thinking it will be what I'd try for a tri. There is definitely an issue with the material bunching in the front, but it isn't enough to bother me.
Terrific ...
I love this ... but will wear another bra with it for Higher Impact activities. I am 5'10" and wear a 36DD therefore was not expecting it to be quite that supportive. It is great alone for hiking , comfortable for everyday wear of lower impact activities.
Not the best for gals with DDs but otherwise a great ...
I usually ... 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 ... okay but the waist was baggy - a medium may ... better except I expect the chest would be too small. And because the ... wasn't designed for larger busts, if you fill out the ... 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 wanted to love it but....
Overall this is a nice top with decent support even for larger breasted ... but I have a couple of issues with it: 1) although it has an unlined built in bra instead of a liner the thickness is about the same as a liner. I could wear a wet white t shirt and have less show through than I did in this top (I did not order it in white). I ordered medium, which is what I usually wear in Athleta tops but for me to wear this top in public I would have to wear a bra under it and, while the medium is a good fit, it is not loose enough to add a bra. 2) In the catalog the top looks like it is slightly flared at the bottom, which would make you think it is a little looser in the waist and over the hips but in reality it is not. This is a very form fitting top and it is a little longer, which you would expect if it were flared but it isn't flared. This is fine for tall and/or long waisted people but doesn't lay in a flattering way for shorter people (I am 5'2"). The idea of this ... good and for the right body type it is probably a great ... am sorry it didn't work for me.
