I wish the straps were better adjustable. They have only three levels of adjustment on the shoulder. Also the bra needs a little padding for when it is cold. I can't wear this one for fear of showing through my t-shirt.

I returned it. Fabric in cups was too thin. Nipples showed. Needs light padding.

Although the bra has a nice fit it is sewn inside out, meaning the underwire is on the outside

Unfortunately it did not fit at all. Runs large.

I have 3 of these bras because of the shape and size availability. For a bra that cost this much, the fabric should be softer. The straps and the back closure area are way too scratchy. It takes forever to break these in and they still are not that comfortable. I have several other bras from this company and some of them do have softer material but the constructs is not great. Again, I buy them because of the size availability, mostly. I think you can do better at this price point.

The size was way off. Ordered my regular size & I had to use another companies extender for it to reach around me. Not the most comfy wired bra I've worn.

I gave it two days and just couldn't wear it anymore. Like a suit of armor across your chest.

I have very broad shoulders and even with the straps let all the way out, this bra was too tight over my shoulders. Also, there is no give whatsoever in the straps - no stretch. It's not a bad-looking sports bra as sports bras go, and I would have kept it if not for the sizing issue.

The strap adjustment design is horrible, unless you only use the bottom hooks (and nobody with big boobs does). This would be a decent sports bra if not for that.

Not happy with style. Have many Wacoal bras and love them. Don't like that the hard wire comes up the middle. It's uncomfortable.

The wire digs into my underarm and pokes through in the front ( when wearing a t shirt. ) It doesn't lie flat. The coverage though is good.

will stick to bras made by sports bra company in the future! the wires in this are strangely "engineered;" where they come up in front, they do not lie against my skin...but stick out...visibly. Not a good look. And on the sides, again, they do not lie flat but rub against the inside of my arms...enough so, that any exercise involving repetitive arm movements (running...rowing) would be a no go. on the plus side tho, the "hook and slide" strap adjustment stays put...its a nuisance to "adjust;" but I'd rather have that, than need to rehook the hooks every time I put the bra on.

I was looking for a sports brass I didn't have to pull on over my head. This one was good for that, and it's well made. I've been wearing sports bread for exercising for many years. The cups in this bra ate much too thin for sports activities.

This didn’t fit so I don’t know how many stars to assign. I went up a band size and that was a perfect fit; the cup size was ridiculously huge but that’s probably my fault for trying to translate Panache sizing to Wacoal. The way the bra is constructed is weird - the straps adjust with hook/loops and the cups have these weird pockets between the wire & the cup fabric. Almost like the bra was sewn inside out... Returned it.

The front panel between the breasts is extremely stiff and stick out and shows through shirts. It didn't work for me.

The Wacoal high impact underwire sport bras are the only bras I have worn for years! However, after pregnancy my rib cage permanently expanded, so this time I had to order the next size up. Despite being a larger size,the new bras are smaller around than my old bras! They don't make a 42C in this style, so I am SOL. Have to find a new brand of bra...I will now cry.

The fit was good on this bra, but I really wanted the contour sports underwire. I thought that's what I ordered based on the photo, but it wasn't. I don't like any show through, so this one doesn't work. Returned.

If you want a tight (AND I MEAN TIGHT) bra, try this one. I wanted this to work but holy moly, it was much, much too tight. It's a 38C and really almost cut into me it was so tight. The style was good and the design seems like a good one, but apparently not for me. Too much trouble to send back so I'll just donate to a women's shelter.

I am critical when it comes to bras because I can rarely find the ONE. This had promise, but the cups were thin (not discreet) and the underwire came up too high at my chest that it was visible above my shirt line. It was comfortable and supportive. Just not perfect.

I had to return this bra, the material of the cups was way too thin and it shows everything. If you don't want to display your nipples, then this bra is not for you.

I feel like I have been cheated. The two bras I have purchase of a flaw!! The wire is on the outside of the bra instead of inside.!! I just noticed that after I took off the tags and put them on but I'm thinking about refunding I'm very disappointed in that fact otherwise they are good bra is a very supportive.

No fault of company. The strap does bite a little. I haven't been able to find a comfortable bra in 15 yrs. They just do not make my size comfortable.
I have a G cup and am very picky about keeping those things up and supported, so it seems wire is my only option.

Zappos has pulled a fast one on this particular bra. I bought two Wacoal bras from Zappos in 2014, and they were FANTASTIC. They are still in great shape, but I decided life would be easier with two more bras. So I went to my purchasing e-mail folder, found the e-mail receipt from two years prior, and clicked on that specific "Wacoal bra" link. It brought me to this page of Wacoal bras, and I ordered two more, assuming it would be the same product as before. But when they arrived, it was immediately apparent that these newer bras are NOT the same quality (despite the cost being the same). The newer ones also don’t have stitched logo of the first two I received, so they are probably made by a different manufacturer. But Zappos kept all the five-star reviews from the original Wacoal. As a side note their “top rated review” is from 2012. It's a shame Zappos would do its customers this way. If a product is changed to a very visibly lesser product (made by a different manufacturer), at the least, Zappos should’ve made note of that on the page. Unlike the original Wacoal bra, this one is no better than any other $65 bra, and it has an uncomfortable shoulder strap design that leaves a bulky flap between the skin and the strap.
