A solid sports bra with quality features. The high end material leaves nothing irritating- fabric is soft and smooth on skin. A must in such a delicate area when combining rigorous activity- nothing to rub or chafe! Elastin is tight.. provides very strict compression so, I definitely size up if intensity like this bothers you. Overall, bra seems to run about 1/2 size small either by cut or compression.Perfect finishing details with reinforced stitching.. The dual straps are stitched to lay flat and stay that way. No twisting or tangling while wearing or putting on- *if you’ve ever used a multi strap that twist, flip or roll when worn.. you know the benefit to having straps stitched into place!! Overall, this provides user solid support along with the ample compression.Great shelf system- Loving the 1.5” band- it creates an ideal shelf to hold up and support “the girls..” a great for bigger chested women who do not want wires of any kind! Removable pads are also a perk if already packing some heat- removing pads slims down the bustline nicely yet, the fit still provides expected support during workout.As for washing: Cold temperatures placed in a lingerie bag and line dry. Doing so will keep bra from unwanted shrinkage and/or tangling up in gears or other clothing items… to prolong life of any spandex/elastin you should keep it out of synthetic heat!Overall, this has focus on functionality and finish quality which brings the higher price point. You just need to ensure the fit to get what you want from this TYR sports bra. Hoping info can help your decision- stay safe everyone.For reference: ordered M for 5’7”, 131lb., 34C, 22yr old- removing pads helped provide more room. But, Large would have been better option for overall comfort.
