I was very skeptical when I opened this package. It looked tiny and I have a very hard time finding supportive, flattering sports bras. My bra size is ~34H (36DDD in closest fit readily available sizing) and I got the Active Pursuits in a Large. But somehow when I put it on it fit! There's a little bit of side spillage but I think a bigger size would lose on the support. This is the most flattering sports bra I own. It is slimming in the right places, supportive enough for higher impact activities and comfortable enough to sleep in. I don't know what magic and sorcery went into the design of this one but I am a fan. And I'm telling all my busty friends to check it out.

Nice clean look if you don’t mind being stuck
Stuck When Sweaty

This sports bra is smooth, but not soft. There’s not much stretch to it. I can get it on, but have trouble getting it off after exercising. If you sweat even a little bit, the moisture makes the material glue to your skin like Velcro, so not tugging, sliding, nor peeling is going to help you get this sucker off. Your best bet is to pull the band as high off your shoulder blades as you can before trying to pull it over your head. Only prayers will get you the rest of the way. I am keeping it because I can’t wear most reds, and I really wanted a new color coordinated set. The fit is great, I just can’t get out of it after working out. It’s a good enough design to walk out in and not feel naked in the city, like a hybrid crop top.

Effective and versatile

2 years ago

I genuinely appreciate this bra, it runs a little smaller than I’m used to for REI size M apparel but it turned out to be a positive because it improved the hold during active exercise. I normally wear a 36C and this required a shimmy to get on but it was comfortable once on. It’s surprisingly flattering too. There’s just enough length that it doesn’t cut you in a weird way. My one gripe is the removable cups, which move and can make weird shapes or show as lines on the surface of your clothing. I took this bra on a hike, and forgot I was wearing it. During downward dog it held things in place nicely. I did an upper body weightlifting workout while wearing this and it was comfortable, there was no shifting in the fabric to cause friction rubs. I also took it on a run and there was no uncomfortable bouncing. Highly recommend as long as you remove the cups.

High Support Bra

2 years ago

Cute maroon color with a subtle leaf pattern throughout. Fully lined and well made. Plenty of support for my running and kickboxing workouts. It is somewhat breathable and I was happy to find that it dried pretty fast after my mid morning Phoenix run. This sports bra is designed for vigorous, higher impact workouts, so it won’t be stretchy and soft like those that are made mostly of Lycra and nylon. For that reason, if you are between sizes, I suggest you size up.

Runs a little tight

2 years ago

This bra size suggestion is based on your pants size, which I always think is strange. I received a large in the red color. The pattern isn't necessarily my style and I hate when there are removable pads. That said, this held up well in the wash (versus other bras whose pads move around). I would say to size up if you feel between sizes because this was pretty tight around the band and definitely kept everything in place. It's slightly more than medium support but not quite high support. Overall, I would recommend to a friend to try out.

Basic Functional Bra! (thank you!!)

1 year ago

Yay! Exactly what I was looking for- a basic functional sports bra for high impact activities. I've worn it running, mountain biking, backpacking and use it often for work (agriculture) it has been great across the board. For context I typically wear a 34B-C depending on time of the month and the medium is perfect. No more hook back enclosures that dig in under a weighted pack or goofy amounts of straps/pockets! May not be 'cute' but is so functional. I've ordered in multiple colors- thank you REI!

No stretch and sized very small

1 year ago

Beautifully made, BUT band is not stretchy, and I practically had to wrestle it on. I wear a 36C and found both the band and the depth way too small for the XL I purchased. Will not be able to wear the two I bought which is a shame - they are lovely.

Keeps the girls in place :)

I forgot my running bra on a recent trip and needed an emergency replacement, so I decided to give the REI brand a try. This bra worked great for its inaugural 8 mile run! Breathes well, not sweaty, not too tight, comfortable to wear all day without any chafing. An easy 5 stars and a new bra in my running rotation. Thanks REI for a back-to-basics piece that gets the job done.

Poor sizing info; way too small!

1 year ago

Sizing is way off!! Ordered a Large based upon the size chart and my measurements but unable to completely get item on; feels more like a Small. Product seems nice quality but not a lot of give. Recommend ordering 1-2 sizes larger than you need. Got it on sale with free shipping online, but unable to exchange because no store near me.

Way Too Tight - Go Up A Size

2 years ago

I generally don't have a problem wearing an Extra-Large at most retailers. I'm 5' 6" with broad shoulders for a lady. I could get it over my shoulders but not down to my bra line. I nearly strangled myself getting this on and then trying to take it off without damaging it. I took it back for a return.
