Comments about Patagonia Barely A/B Bra:
This bra is amazingly comfortable and it looks good too. I especially like how adjustable the straps are, which is a big issue for me in a lot of over-the-head bras. It also rinses out easily in a sink if you're traveling, because the material is so light. You can even sleep in it!
The only problem with it is that the material is so soft and stretchy that the support is not very good; I'm an A/B so this wasn't a problem, but women with larger breasts probably will not be happy with this bra.

Comments about Patagonia Barely A/B Bra:
I disagree with the other reviewers who say it's not good support. I'm not buxom but I am a 34 C -- I use a medium in this bra -- and it is GREAT support. If you're looking for a running bra that squishes your breasts into immobility, this bra probably isn't your ticket. If you are looking for the trussed underwire and padded feel, this bra probably isn't for you. But if you like comfort and are very active on a daily basis this bra is good comfortable support. I don't bounce even running after my grandkids or doing carpentry work. All the rest of my bras just stay in the drawer unless I need a strapless or some speciality deal. I especially like traveling with this because I can wash it in the sink before bed and it's dry in the morning. The only improvement that could be made is to keep all the same great features and design one I don't have to put it on over my head.

Comments about Patagonia Barely A/B Bra:
I bought this bra for myself and for my daughter. If it would come in white and/or other light colors I will not need to search for any other bra. It's really light, comfortable and fits to almost every type of shirt . It probably would not be supportive enough for C or D cups, but it definitely good for B.

Comments about Patagonia Barely A/B Bra:
If you're not flat-chested or want even a modicum of support, stay away from this. I tried it on because I was drawn in by the soft material and the rich dark purple color, but I require functionality from all my clothes and this is the equivalent of no bra at all. "Active women," as the product description appeals to, should stay away unless they are the smallest of As.
