I like the idea of this top as it is a nice change from the shelf bras but wish it was made for different cup sizes. I have a small ribcage but am busty so I got a medium to fit the ribcage. This holds me all together nicely but not attractively. From the reviews I had read of this top and related tops, I had hoped I would avoid the uniboob or at least have no skin on skin. A larger size may have helped with this but at the cost of support. I found the shoulder straps to be very close to my neck. This is somewhat irritating as it rests on the muscles on either side of my neck and I was worried that it would lead to tension pain; fortunately this has not happened. Still, I would have preferred the straps to be a little further apart. All that said, I do wear the top and found it comfortable enough to sleep with it on during an overnight ski trip. I believe that since this is a full-length top and provides over-all support, there is no bra-band constriction (which occurs with some sports bras).

Love the athletic fit, the pockets, the look. The fit in the torso is great. A minor issue: the sleeves are a bit too long (I'm 5'2" so I'm used to this somewhat). A more irritating issue is that the collar is too tall--I feel like I'm wearing a neck brace when I zip it up fully. That said, I'd buy it again.

I love merino wool clothing. This was the first non-sock Smartwool I've purchased. I was very disappointed with the tight fit of the neck (v-neck at that!). Perhaps, with a larger size, the neck wouldn't constrict so, but I can't see that one size up would be enough. I returned the top.

I wanted a softshell for climbing, among other activities. I liked the idea of this jacket with the bottom zipper opening and athletic fit, however, the upper part of the sleeves were too narrow for my liking. I returned the jacket.
