I got this sports bra several days ago and was super excited because it's my first wool bra ever. I slept all night in it just fine and even wore it to work the next day. The first problem I had was trying to fund the right placement for the cups. I had to keep moving them down. I took it off for the night and decided to wear it again the following day. Everything goes great, and I even get weight lifting and a mile run in. Here's problem number 2. I have rub marks on my left and right collar bones. The seam where the print on the front changes to a solid color for the straps is terrible. I'm leary about hiking/backpacking with this bra now.
My first smartwool crop bra, it is very soft to the touch and it fits great . I got this on a sale and it was worth the money. Not sure if I would pay full price
Definitely low impact, but super comfortable. the wool is soft and buttery. I don't think I'll ever run in this, but perfect for hiking or as a casual crop top.
I use this for video workouts at home--thanks for making something with natural fibers on the inside. I can't run in it, however, there is not enough support for 34DD. I realize it's not advertised for high impact activities but please make something that is.
I thought I'd give this bra a try. It's likely a personal preference, but this is not my favorite SmartWool bra. The poly content makes the material slick and a bit tough to get in and out of. It is firmly a backup bra for when I need to do laundry.
This will be my go-to running bra for long-distance training. The fit is wonderful and the dropped elastic band makes it honestly the best bra that I've tried to wear with a heart rate chest strap monitor. The pattern is also a win!
Breathes well. Great for everyday, workouts, skiing, and hiking. I pulled the bra pads out. The material is thick enough on its own. This makes the bra even more comfortable.
Runs extremely small; I had to send it back twice! I'm usually a Small (34A) but I had to order a LARGE, y'all. Size UP for sure! The $ is also hard to swallow.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This will be my go-to for long runs. I am very pleased with the dropped elastic band that makes it comfortable to wear a chest strap HR monitor. #sweepstakes
Very comfortable, and it does not slip or shift! It does not have a huge amount of support, but it should be great for hiking-which is what I bought it for
