Great sports bra! I wear an F and I'm breast feeding, so I have large, uncomfortable breasts right now and was really concerned about getting something with proper support. This really does the job at keeping things firmly in place. I get no pain and very limited breast movement, even during active aerobics. My only minor complaint is the straps don't adjust by very much. I know you should have them pretty firm for proper support, but I'm tall and broad-shouldered, so I find them a little uncomfortable at times.

Excellent support and fit. I could run with very little movement. Also very comfortable. Worth every penny.

The size and fit were good but the seam through the cup really turned me off. That would show through in shirts. I have been having a problem with underwire for a while and need something more comfortable.

This bra is incredibly comfortable as well as supportive for moderate-high intensity activities and yet also pleasantly lightweight and breathable. My only complaint is the band is also thin material and tends to fold in half. I still love the bra but a thicker band less prone to folding (comparing it to my new balance sports bras) would bring it to five stars.

I'm 5'3, 136# and bought the 34E (29in ribs/ 40inch bust). The bra fit, but the seams over the bustline were annoying. It also felt flimsy taking it off. It would not be adequate for running, but fine for yoga/ biking. I ended up sending it back because it just didn't fit my needs but the fit was good.

I also ordered the Anita Active Air Control Sports Bra which was a bit softer. This one is stiffer and probably better about headlights, but that doesn't bother me since I usually wear a sports bar under a tank top or something. If you wanted more structure grab this one, otherwise try the Active Air. IMHO they both fit true to size for 40B.

I ended up keeping this sport bra even thought it doesn't provide the amount of support I was looking for. I suppose this is the best you can get without an underwire though! I'll probably still use this bra to run in because it isn't terrible, but it is best for non-bouncy activities, like lifting or yoga. The bra looks great and provides some separation. The material wicks well and feels nice. It also has wide straps that don't slide off my smaller-than-average shoulders. I still can't believe I paid this much for a bra though. I hope it lasts forever!

This bra has the right configuration to work well. I am satisfied with it, for the most part, but the straps do not stay in place even after adjusting. It seems to be well-made and I'm sure I will wear it to work out...but would love a sports bra that actually fits in every way. Have not found that yet.

Okay bra. Seamed cup with no padding, though comfortable to wear, especially on the shoulders. Not too appealing, however. Could be an everyday bra for me if they lose the cup seams and add a little padding.

That’s great. But made of itchy materials. I am usually not aware of that so this bra head real material problems for me to even notice. Sent it back.

Just ok, not enough support and looking for a more modest lining, although two layers this style is too thin of a fabric for me.

The fit was a little small in the cup and the material wasn't very soft. The seams also weren't flattering under a shirt.

Lightweight with medium support. It runs a tad small. I didn't fee like it was substantial enough to warrant trying another size. Seems like it would be cool though.

Doesn't look or feel great. Band seems extra small, so go a size up.

I ordered a 34F (my normal size) and this bra was WAY too small, especially in the cups. Given the way it didn't fit I think I would have to go up 2 cup sizes and maybe even one band size. This is the first time I ordered Anita so don't know if this is an issue only with this style or if the whole line is smaller than I am used to.

Did not fit at all and now know that 38B is not the size in this bra. Some of the bras I buy from Zappos are 38C and some are 38B. This one did not fit at all. The cups were very close together. Too much trouble to send back so just giving away to a women's shelter.

Pros: doesn't give my boobs that smooshed feeling, nor does it give me a uni-boob. Cons: Seem goes right down the middle of the cup, right over the nipples, making it visible under every shirt; the strap adjuster on the back digs into my skin, which didn't seem annoying at first try on, but became an issue when it rubbed my skin raw after just one run; digs in to my armpits in the front. Overall, it is NOT worth the $69. I'd rather wear two regular sports bras than this one. It's my last resort bra when the others are dirty. I wish I could return this, but I've already worn it a couple times. I got this in size 40E, which is my normal bra size.

I wish that I could have added to the stellar reviews of the bra. I had such high hopes. I am a 34D and ordered a 34D in this bra but it was tight, uncomfortable and flattened my girls. Not comfortable or flattering on me at all. Even if I sized up I think it would still produce a less than flattering silhouette. The search continues!

The fit was so bad I can't even comment on the comfort and style. WAY too small in the cups and should have been right based on the size I always order in other bras. Couldn't wait to take it off - horrible.
