Comments about Patagonia Capilene Mesh A/B Sports Bra:

I wear a size 36C so I have to wear a bra that prevents a lot of bouncing and keeps things stable and supported. I've tried a lot of sports bras and this one is the most comfortable I've ever tried. I own 4 now to wear throughout the week. I jog about 3 to 4 times a week, so I can vouch for this bra. It is easy to put on and take off - not too tight where it sticks to you, but still supportive. It looks really good under low cut workout shirts or tank tops. There is nothing about this bra I do not love. Today I wore it shopping before I went on a run, and wore it for about 5 hours before I had the chance to change. Never even noticed it. That's what I love about this bra, it is a part of you.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene Mesh A/B Sports Bra:

I didn't believe the other comments about the small sizing - I'm a 34A and I'm used to having to buy either S or XS in most things, and when I've had trouble with Patagonia sizing, things have tended to run a size large.

It is indeed sized small. I could certainly wear a S, but it was not going to be comfortable over time - I could feel it constricting my breathing and it squished up my skin in the underarms.

Other than that, it was cute, the fabric is a nice combination of sturdy and soft - very stretchy in a supportive way - and the straps are placed well. (They don't adjust, which is usually a problem for me, but not these.)

I'm going to try again with a larger size - fingers crossed!

Comments about Patagonia Capilene Mesh A/B Sports Bra:

I absolutely LOVE this bra! I'm one of those people that usually has to wear 3 bras (regular as a base and two sports bras) but this one solved all my troubles! It provides a lot of support and stability without that pancake or uniboob effect! Plus it is super cute! This is my favorite bra and I will probably get at least one more for another color!

a fantastic, supportive bra made by a socially and environmentally responsible company. this is the most comfortable sports bra i've ever had. i love it. both of mine have kept their elasticity well (washing in cold water and line drying). i wear a 34b/c and both size small and medium of this bra fit me well.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene Mesh A/B Sports Bra:

This sports bra is the best I've ever owned. One drawback is that if you have broader shoulders, the straps can chafe, especially under backpack straps.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene Mesh A/B Sports Bra:

If you are an A/B this is THE top for you. I wear this for all my sports and have never been disapointed. Because it is designed for A/B you may want to order up a size since you are only sizing yourself on an A/B scale. Patagonia clearly says this bra is for A/B cups.You should not give this bra a poor rating because it doesn't provide support beyond a B.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene Mesh A/B Sports Bra:

I bought this bra while it was on sale, and wish I'd bought more. It feels tight when I first put it on, but, as another reviewer commented, conforms to my shape in no time. After that, it feels just the right amount of snug, and works well for strength training and running (I'm a B cup and this bra seems to prevent unseemly bouncing). I particularly like that it's still comfortable and supportive after 45 minutes of heavy sweating--the wicking really does work. The only complaint I have is that Patagonia's size charts don't quite work for me. According to their chart, I should wear a small, but in the fitting room, I found that a medium worked best. This is a great bra, but it's a good idea to try it on to get the right size.
