Patagonia Hotline Tank Top - Women's - 2009 BCS

Patagonia has never disappointed me, even those purple fleece tights I bought back in college were deluxe. This top has become a staple in my wardrobe for working out and wearing to work - super versatile and travels well! Thank you to Patagonia for being so on top of it!

I bought my wife this for Christmas and it is a great looking top. She is 5'6" and 125 and I bought the Medium but maybe could have went with the Small. She is 34B and it is a touch big in the bust area.

I bought the tank in black. Fits snug but not too tight, so it doesn't ride up. Length is perfect: hits the hips -- so it covers the gut but isn't too long. The straps were also the ideal length. I'm bought a medium -- I'm 5'5, thin frame with a bit of a bust and a lazy tummy.

I am tall and thin and love the hotline. The straps fit well and could even be a little longer (I wear XS). I like that they are not adjustable, because I find that the adjusting buckles on strappy tops are either uncomfortable ot get in the way of packs or I hit there on a rock and end up getting hurt by it. I have several of these collected over the years. It washes well and is great for anything from climbing to hiking to a night out. It is true that I do not need a whole lot of support, so I cannot speak for that, but I have paid full price for this top and it was worth every expensive penny.

Great fabric and prints BUT seriously long straps that are not adjustable and seriously tight shelf bra elastic band combined with lack of shaping in top so that it sags and droops along neckline and sides, plus a wide and baggy mid section with no shape to it. A dumpy frumpy item that won't keep you covered up top and will wrap you with excess fabric in the middle.
