I am a very active woman. I guide professionally and am often out doing a large variety of outdoor activities like rock climbing, trail running, backpacking, skiing, and more. I also happen to be a short, curvy woman of 5'3" with a 36DD cup. For years I have struggled to find a sports bra that fits my frame and bust size correctly, allowing me to feel secure and bounce free while working out and doing high impact activities; and one that was also comfortable with full coverage. This bra is the first I have found that fits the bill. A plus is that is looks cute and comes in some great colors too! The bra itself is great. It looks to be made very well; we'll see how it holds up over time. It is fully lined, has adjustable shoulder straps that are wide and fleece lined for additional comfort. The adjustable straps are great for me, seeing as usually the problem is that the straps never adjust to be short enough for my short frame. The elastic band is wide and heavy duty with the back closure being adjustable w/ hook and eye closures. The modified racer back is nice as it makes putting the bra on a bit easier. I would have given this a five star if the bra was better in preventing the unwanted uni-breat. As a busty woman, having uni-breast issues with most sports bras is really unfortunate and unflattering! Unfortunately, I have not found a high impact sports bra that fully addresses this problem for busty women. Also, the bra is a bit tough to get on and fasten. I foresee it being a problem getting on and off when I am damp from lap swimming or sweaty from a workout. If you can get past these two downfalls it is a great bra. I finally feel like my girls are secure and not spilling out the top or sides after moving around for a while.
