Comments about Moving Comfort Alexis Bra:

Far superior to the unconstructed sports bra. The straps don't adjust, but I was suprised to find that in this bra that does not present a problem. Because I'm 5'4, many unadjustable straps are too long, negating any support the bra might have had for me. But with this bra, the straps are the perfect length for my small frame. The band fits (but doesn't constrict) my 30-inch rib cage, and the bra itself is well-constructed enough to support a B in running, martial arts, dog-walking, climbing, etc.

Comments about Moving Comfort Alexis Bra:

I'm back to buy another pair of Alexis in white. I'm a in-between size of 35/36 and A/B, and my breasts have a wide base (not narrow-based cone-shaped), so ordering by inch and cup size for sport bras has never worked out for me. Until a year ago in a random store I tried on a pair of "Alexis Soft Cup" (less streamlined, with wider straps, not sold on REI). I now own 6 pairs of bras from the brand, including Alexis, Vixen and Grace - all in size Large - and I'm shopping for more! My masseuse saw these floral Alexis bras and she took down its info and was registering with REI just for these.

I wear them for all sports and even for everyday purpose, they are just so incredibly comfortable, supportive and stylish, they are not pressingly flattening like other brands. Even with the cups they are breathable enough to be layered under tight-fitting shirts. I wore mine alone when getting hot on a trail or in gym, and even as bikini tops a couple of times for water-sports: modest, secure and stylish - nobody can tell that they are not swim tops.

I did try Moving Comfort's other bras but have returned them all, especially the ones with mesh or without built-in cups. In my opinion, if you have A/B cups and a wide base, stick with the moulded sewn-in cups models of Moving Comfort.

Comments about Moving Comfort Alexis Bra:

I bought this as a sports bra, but now I have several and use them as my every day bras too. Then I don't have to change every bit of clothing to go for a bike ride after work, and it supports better than any regular bra I've ever had anyway. As sports bras go, I've never had decent support without squishing, but this bra is awesome. You might think the thickness of the cups (absolutely NO show-through) would make it too hot, but it is super wicking and I can sweat a lot from riding hills and be totally comfortable. Make sure to follow the Moving Comfort size guide. It does take a little getting used to pulling it on and off, but that's okay.

Comments about Moving Comfort Alexis Bra:

This is the first sports bra that I feel comfortable wearing when it's cold, if you know what I mean. I can't stand being self-conscious when working out and the padded cups are breathable and comfortable and very modest. So I seek it out and want one in every color. To be honest, I'm more of a C cup so I do bounce if I go for a jog in it, but for the gym, spin, weights, etc it's perfect. A little tough to get in and out of but you get used to it, and it looks great on, unlike some others that give you a weird shape. I really like this bra.

Mixed feelings about this one!

Comments about Moving Comfort Alexis Bra:

I have mixed feelings about this bra.....I LOVE the extra "umph" it gives (I am petite in both frame and bust) and I was wanting a bra that had more coverage for wear under thin wicking shirts in the summer. This bra does not squish you flat like more sports bras. My issues are that the materials are not very stretchy so it's hard to get on/off and it cuts into my underarms a bit. I'm sure I will keep it since it gives a very flattering look but it's def not my most comfy sports bra ever. I guess I'll stick to my champion double dry bras for that.

(I had to get a size larger than normal to be able to get it on.)

Padding!

Comments about Moving Comfort Alexis Bra:

I have spent forever trying to find a sports bra (in an A or B cup) with padding...this is pretty much it; and it's great!

I workout in really thin workout tech tops, and, ahem, sometimes the A/C can be a bad thing -- but I am not worried about that when I am wearing this bra.

The band is very tight which makes it difficult to get on and off (tight as in, you feel like you might need to dislocate a shoulder!;), but after some practice, you can do it with ease.

Comments about Moving Comfort Alexis Bra:

I love this bra because it gives a lot of support, but also gives a good shape so you still look like a girl in it, so it can also be worn NOT as a sports bra. This is always the first bra I grab when it's clean. I'm 5'1 and finding bras that are small enough in the shoulders to not sag is a challenge. This comes up well above the cleavage area, and I never have to worry about showing more than I want to with this bra. I've had it for about 4 months now, wear it once a week, and doesn't really show any wear. I tend to buy the cheap sports bras from [...] most often, and wear them out after 6 months max. You definitely seem to get what you pay for from your sports bras!

Super scratchy fabric on the back that gave me a sore after a 9 mile run. The cups were weird - placement was too high. Might have worked for someone but NOT a good fit for me.

Comments about Moving Comfort Alexis Bra:

I really like this bra. I have one of the floral ones, and not only is it very cute, but it is comfortable. Unlike nearly every other bra I've ever had, it does does not slip or ride up. A plus for a small busted lady, the padded shaping not only prevents show-thru, but it does not squish me flat either. If it wicks as well this hiking season as it does at everything else, I will be so delighted. The only drawback has been mentioned already, it's not the easist to get on and off. However, I am happy enough to purchase another, and then maybe another. I would like to see a couple more colors available.

Comments about Moving Comfort Alexis Bra:

Some bras have great support but amaze me that when you put on a shirt you end up poking right through. I just don't feel comfortable. This bra has the support and the padding. The down side is that you have to pull it over your head and it's kind of a tight squeeze. I hope the elastic won't stretch out over time. I did buy a second one because I liked it enough and the price is reasonable.
