"Sheer"ly-unexpected
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:Runs small
- Size Bought: Small
The Merino wool in this is comfortable, and definitely dries quickly. I used this bra snowboarding and throughout the day.
The elasticity holds up well so far and I cannot feel it once it's on.
This bralette is a little small. I am in between an A and B cup, and have lost weight, so I went with a small. It looks like it could be for a small child. however once on it does NOT create an extra line on my chest and does not feel tight to wear.
My next one will be a M for sure.
I also couldn't tell from the photo, but it is a little see through. I don't like or dis-like this as it doesn't really matter under my snowboarding gear. However it isn't necessarily the bralette that I will be shedding my tank while wearing during my Bikram Yoga class!
Enjoy!
Ibex Balance Light Bra
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
- Size Bought: Small
I can't stop wearing this! It seriously feels like I'm not wearing anything. I own a few of Ibex's other bras, the Balance Bralettes. While I love them I was not happy with how small they run and that they can't be worn with lower cut shorts. This bra runs very true to size and I can wear it with almost any shirt. It is much lighter than the Balance Bralette and is ideal for everyday wear or lower impact activities. I am a 32B -- if I was any bigger I'd definitely want a bra with more support for exercising.
The comment below about the straps is spot on though. The straps are pretty stiff, but they don't bug me. If this is something that might irritate you, you might be better off with another bra. Overall, I'd highly recommend this!
Needs some improvement

The bra itself is great, I love the fit and the soft feel of the merino wool. The best part of the merino wool is the days you can go without having any smell whatsoever. My only complaint as mentioned in other reviews, are the straps. They aren't very comfortable. They are made with tradition bra strap material. Its fairly stiff and can dig in. I don't think I would buy this again unless they change the strap construction.
Comfortable, but not a fan of the straps
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
The material is very comfortable, I love it! The only thing I don't like is the clasps for the straps on the back of the band. It is a nice feature to be able to adjust the straps to a crossback, but I have found that after some wear the strap latches will fall out of the fabric, and the material is so lightweight that it won't do a good job of staying in place on it's own at all.
Awesome bra for layering

This bra is so soft and comfy. But it is sheer--I wonder why ibex doesn't make it a little more substantial? That would be nice. And it definitely is sized small because I usually wear an XS and I ordered it in M because of all the warnings in the reviews. You won't be disappointed--this bra is amazing! I usually wear a 34 B and I ordered this in a Medium.
Highly Recommend

I love this bra, and own multiple colors. It is perfect for hiking and light activities, such as climbing, and yoga. It breathes well and is a must if you are travelling a lot. It is thin so doesn't offer a ton of discretion, but I still find it to be a good enough stretch that I consider it medium supportive. I wear a M and am a 36 B-C
well constructed, great fit

I was unsure about buying a wool bra since even the softest wool usually irritates my skin. not a problem & no nipple irritation. the material is thin but strong . It is slightly see-through (I bought the sea green one) . I found it to be very breathable and strong. I'm buying two more!
Found my replacements!

I've been bummed ever since Patagonia changed their barely bra from two years ago. It was perfect for me, between A/B size, I could go for a trail run or mountain bike ride and it would dry quickly or come of easily when it's cold and throw on another just as easily.
While I'm usually a small in Patagonia, the medium Ibex fit just right. I think the material has better stretch and hold. If that makes sense. And of course, no stink cause of the wool.
I've purchased 3 to start off with. If it wears well in the next 6 months, I'll have to buy more cause these are so comfortable.
Comfortable for light activity

I typically wear Ibex's Bralette bra, but decided to try the Light Bra for something a little more leisurely. The bra is as it says, "light" in the fact that it has very light support and no padding. This is great for days when I'm not super active, doing light flowing yoga and stretching. I find it very comfortable and am very happy with my purchase!
Is the fabric single or double layer?
Single layer, hence the name "light". I find it great for wearing at home when it's really hot in the summers (e.g. no AC).
