I bought 3 of these bras based on glowing reviews from New York Times' Wire Cutter and other customers. They were made with high-quality fabric. They were thicker than I had expected, but that wasn't the problem. My underbust (bra band area, below the bustline) is lower than most women, so when I pu...rchase a bra, I always extend the shoulder straps as far as they can go. My current athletic bras all have shoulder strap adjusters. These Athleta bras do NOT. The first (and the last) time I wore one, I went for a ten-mile speed-walk. I normally walk 50 miles a week. The shoulder straps were so tight that I felt like I was walking with a 30-pound backpack. My shoulders got too tired by 5 miles. I ended up pulling my arms out of the shoulder straps which made the bra basically strapless. Because I am barely size A, the bra stayed in place, so that was good. Also, I sweat a lot. The bra didn't do much for wicking and drying the sweat while wearing it. When I took it off after my walk, it was at least 4x its dry weight. So the weight on my shoulders got more intense as I was walking and sweating. I returned the two that were still in bags. Lesson learned: never buy bras based on reviews alone. For someone like me, make sure the bra has shoulder-strap length adjusters.
