The Patagonia Women's Bandha Top will hold onto any yoga pose or climbing move without pushing back. This stretchy top has an uninhibited cut for allowing free-flowing movement in the studio or on the rocks. The sleeveless shape and deep V-neck allows air to circulate and lets you keep your cool. Your shoulders will stay protected from the sun as the Bandha Top offers good coverage in a flattering shirt. Patagonia uses a wicking and very breathable fabric that is as performance savvy as it is pretty.

Bottom Line: The Bandha takes a distinctively feminine approach to performance tops.

Super comfortable

By:

The fit is great. I am long waisted and many shirts are too short. Not so with this one. Also, the twist in the front is flattering on my small bust. I love the feel of the fabric and that it is is part of the Common Threads recycling program.

All-Around winner

I love wearing this shirt to the office. It's comfortable and graceful under a suit jacket, and it's always ready for lunchtime yoga. I've also never seen a woman look bad in this top. As long as you stand up straight, you'll stand out.

I got my first one a couple years ago in lupine, and I just bought a black one as well.

Love it! Super adaptable

I love this top. You can dress it up with a nice skirt or wear it on a strenuous hike. Took it to Costa Rica and found that it wicked away sweat really well and didn't get stinky with all the humidity. Very nice for long torso-ed people like me.

Awesome Top

By:
May 10, 2010

This top looks really great doing anything. The v-neck isn't too deep and looks cute with a sports bra (just barely shows through the v-neck) or a regular bra - doesn't slide around showing everything to your co-workers. It's really flattering with nice length for yoga or pilates and looks great under a suit jacket, cute sweatshirt or by itself. The quality is excellent and is flattering for a short stocky build (5'2, 135 pounds). Small fit me great; would highly recommend this shirt

Bandha

By:
July 25, 2010

I have the Bandha top and dress. I LOVE the dress. It fits wonderfully and is so comfortable. Somehow I don't like the top as much. The arm holes are too tight, the torso is too long and the lines around the 'top' don't fit like they should. I wear the shirt anyways but it definitely isn't my favorite.

my favorite shirt

By:
April 29, 2010

I love the fit and feel of this shirt so much, I not only have several, I also decided to buy the Bandha dress for an out-of-town wedding. Not only perfect for travelling (really, just toss them in your case/pack and GO) but for any occasion you can think of to wear them. Dress up, dress down, these are my favorite go-to garments, and I ALWAYS get lots of compliments! I am 5'3" and 125 lbs and the small is a perfect fit. I highly recommend!

Nice shirt, fabric not good if you have a tummy

By:
March 24, 2010

I really liked this shirt, but I have a little bit of a belly, so the fabric didn't work for me. Oh well, maybe when I lose some weight :( It seemed versatile and could be used for hiking or something dressy. The sizing chart was accurate for me.

Fits great, looks cute and very comfortable. I bought this top to wear with a pair of skorts, together they make a very cute, versatile outfit. I have worn this same outfit to a wedding and worked out in it. This top is wonderful for any active woman!

Not too soft

By:
March 5, 2009

I found the cut and style unflattering for my flat-chested figure, and the material just wasn't as soft as I wanted it to be. It has a more technical feel.

Versatile

great fit! flattering and long enough that it does not rise up during a workout. It is pretty enough that I wore it with a skirt outside of the gym. Would highly recommend.

This is my second top and I also have a dress in this style. The top is soooooo flattering. It's sexy and comfortable. It makes me bustier and I need all the help I can get.

Patagonia Bandha Top is cute and technical.

By: Backcountry.com Employee
September 26, 2008

I bought this top primarily for Bikram (hot) yoga and I love it. The fit on the Bandha is very flattering, even for those of us with less than flat tummies, and it is still form-fitting. It offers good coverage for bending over moves. It does not have an internal shelf bra, which is good for me as I often don't fill them out. It's a great length, and doesn't ride up when I stretch up. The Patagonia fabric is great for hot, sweatty yoga. I'm 5'4" 135 lbs. (lots of my weight in my legs) with about a 35" chest, and I have the medium which is perfect. I do find that some sports bras poke out just a little bit above the V neck, but very little shows and I think it still looks fine. I highly recommend this top, and would even wear it as normal wear on hot summer days.
