This bra is the best. I just wore it on a two week trip that included over 33 hours of continuous travel and a 4 day trek through the Himalayas, with temperatures ranging from freezing to high 80s. It was the most comfortable thing I had on. I could wear it for several days in a row, sweating, moving, sleeping and it didn't stink! Only after trekking 8 hours uphill in the heat did it start to smell bad. But the wicking was on point. I never noticed that I was wearing a bra, compared to the others I brought that got irritating after several hours of sweat. I'm planning to buy more. I'm Size 32DD and the medium fit me well. Not enough support for running but perfect for hiking/trekking, exploring, yoga, traveling, and generally any low impact sweating activities.

This bra has great coverage and support. I really like the soft stretchy material. The cut is cute and very comfortable.

I love this sports bra! The coverage is a bit matronly looking, but it does it's job- supporting the girls. The padding is perfect, the fabric is soft and feels great on my skin. It runs true to size. The only complaint I have is that the arm straps are tight and constricting at first. It didn't take long to stretch and get used to, though.


Edit: Now that I've worn this quite a bit, the arms straps have stretched out and the fit is perfect! No regrets with this purchase and I will be getting another!

I've been wearing these awesome bras for years, but without the padded cups. This new version comes with the cups, so trying them out. Just as comfy, and even better for those cooler days ; ) I am a 34A, and prefer the size medium (I detest any hint of a tight band around my ribcage when doing aerobic sports like biking).

I forsook underwire bras five or so years ago when I started leading a much more active lifestyle, and decided to always choose comfort and durability over looks. The main problem I have encountered with many sports bras is that they don't prevent the uncomfortable, sweaty "squishing-together" while being active, or conceal my nipples popping through my shirt on chillier days (not the best when working with teenage boys at a wilderness therapy program).
With all that said, this bra to me seems to solve all those issues. The cups help me stay in place, there's enough lining for work-appropriate coverage, the racerback straps work perfectly with a backpack, and it's comfortable enough to sleep in, so if it's cold enough that you don't want to change before crawling in your sleeping bag, you'll be fine. I wore this for a month straight and just bought another one. Highly recommended!
I average between a 34-36 D in regular bra sizing, and the Medium fits me well.

I originally tried the arcteryx SL sports bra for a light impact, quick drying, hand washable, backcountry bra. It blew chunks so I tried this one out. AAAaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh *clouds part, angels sing*!!! I love this bra (and panty set).

This is absolutely comfortable, the material is soft, super starchy, and gives just the right amount of support (I am a C cup) for long grueling (multi day or week etc) hikes. There are removable discretion cups if you plan on hiding any nippage, but you can ditch them if you are gram counting pack weight and want them to dry via body heat. I have never found the straps to be irritating under my pack, or the body of the bra to irritate my underarms while paddling. I am not extremely exploratory with the world of undeez so there may be other sports bras that fit the bill, but this one is FAR superior to any of the light impact sports bras I have ever tried.

I would warm to be careful not to snag it. I have not yet had this problem but imagine that sue to the soft material, it could probably snag pretty easy. But thus far I have had zero problems.

I have 3 of these bras, and wear them daily. I like that they don't have frills or ornamentation, and offer enough support for sports without mashing my chest into one single boob. They also dry fast. I am a 34B in most bra sizes, and find the S size fits very well.

My wife says this bra is really comfy, but she doesn't like how high the neckline is because it shows above her tank tops.

This bra is very comfy, and doesn't put a lot of stress or tension on my upper shoulders like some sports bras do. My only complaint is that when you wash it, sometimes the cups within the lining fold or slide out of place, similar to a bikini. This is annoying to have to situate these after most washes. I've worn this from camp, to the trail, to paddle boarding on the lake, so it's versatility is great.

My wife bought one of these at REI and absolutely loved it. She had me buy her two more from Backcountry.com. This is now her new favorite bra and she won't wear anything else.

However, it is a little tight and it does ride up more than I would like. I am a pretty classic medium so I bought a medium. I do think a large might be too big. I kept two of these and they are perfect for some things. But I sent two of them back since I didn't want to have four bras that weren't just right.

I purchased two of these patagonia barely bras from a different retailer.

I am 32d and I purchased size small. It fits well, but I wonder how a medium would fit.

The bras are amazing and it feels like you are wearing nothing at all - kind of like teeki pants! The material is very super soft and offers good light support.

I wouldn't wear these to do any high-impact activities, but for yoga, walking, or pilates, it is perfect!

I plan on buying more because they are so comfortable!

One of the bra straps was twisted and stitched improperly....obviously a manufacturer defect but a major disappointment for $45. Plus I discarded all shipping packaging and washed before I saw the defect

Not really worth 45 bucks. Runs small and not much support.

I hate wearing bras and only like to wear a sport bra when I am engaged in an active sport. This bra is very comfortable to wear as it doesn't compress too much or dig into my skin. Not inexpensive but the best I have found!

This bra is just ok. Unfortunately I expect better for a $45 bra that is really not much more than a camisole functionally... The cups that came with it I found weird, too thick, too big.
I'm a 34 A and ordered a small. There is little difference between the band size and the cups, so basically that equates to an unflattering fit for a small chested girl, and a constant battle with pulling the bra band down as it constantly rolls up without the weird cups in it. Should have returned it, but missed the return window. Very disappointed...

I bought this specifically for a backpacking trip to New Zealand with the intention of it being my sole bra on the trip. Dries very quickly so that you can wash it and wear it on the go. I've since found that it's great for everything else that I do on a daily basis. I wear it during yoga, hiking, running, biking...It's well made (in Israel) with very soft material. The pads are removable for those who don't need them. I'm a 36C, and the Medium fit is great. No side boob action as with most constricting sports bras I've encountered. The design is cute enough to wear casually too. My other bras don't get as much attention anymore! Nice job Patagonia.
