Finally, a no-nonsense, high support bra w/o removable cu

I have already purchased three of these bras and just came back to purchase a fourth! These bras are what I've been waiting for Athleta to make something like this for years! The wait is over! Great support, no mushing, no falling out, no weird straps to pull over your head, and most importantly, no...

I am disappointed in the bra. I was very excited with the fit and high impact level when I purchased. The fit was perfect and I felt ready to hit my workouts. Unfortunately, after wearing it twice the shape and support has changed. I am now experiencing gaping with lack of support. The straps slip ...

Worst Athleta Item I've Ever Bought

I rely on Athleta for high-quality workout wear and up to now, the company has never disappointed me. I should've trusted the reviewer who mentioned that this bra literally broke apart. At first I thought I'd dodged a bullet because mine did fine for a few weeks. And then one day, while I was wearing it, the portion of the band that holds the hooks ripped 95% of the way off. The bra wasn't remotely tight, so I wasn't putting any undue stress on the band. Ridiculous and unacceptable. Thank god I was at home when it happened!

I ordered my regular bra band size, yet in this sport bra, the band size was much too tight.

Comments about Stride Lite Bra

This bra is still and runs large. Puckers where the breast meets the armpit. Need something soft but I do like wider straps, darn!

Favorite Sports bra for every activity, it's even perfect for casual daily wear. I worn it to walk, run, and hot yoga and it's been perfect. I love that I can adjust the straps and the band.

Comments about Stride Lite Bra

I really wanted to like this bra. I bought similar bras a few years ago from Athleta and loved the fit and material. The older bras were wireless but fit my smaller ribcage and bigger breasts nicely. The bottom banding was excellent. In this bra the material is TOO slick and the band along the bottom is not supportive enough for my bigger breasts without an underwire or a redesign. I gave it two stars because it supported my side breast fullness and the top coverage was excellent.

Comments about Stride Lite Bra

Didn't work for me. I'm a long time glory bra wearer. Was excited to embrace a new style. But this bra showed off my side fat big time. Otherwise if you have no side fat, this bra could be lovely on you (I believe). Sad for me tho.

Comments about Stride Lite Bra

I tried on this bra and was in LOVE with it! I wanted a more full coverage bra that held the girls tight. I like the wider shoulder straps. Girls were bound and happy. After wearing them each once, they stretched dramatically.. I went from latching on the loosest setting, to the tightest in one wear. Now it's just too loose, so girls are swimming around in their saggy glory. I was told I can't bring 'em back if I've cut the tags out. Basically tossed the money out the window? Athleta, help a saggy sista' out here!

Poor construction

The fit of this bra is really good — comfortable and true to size. But the quality is poor. The straps are just glued on instead of stitched, and after only two washes the glue started to come off. Because of that, the hooks began to loosen and almost came off completely. It's disappointing since it fits well, but the weak construction makes it unreliable. Have to return them all.

I am disappointed in the bra. I was very excited with the fit and high impact level when I purchased. The fit was perfect and I felt ready to hit my workouts. Unfortunately, after wearing it twice the shape and support has changed. I am now experiencing gaping with lack of support. The straps slip and it rides. I did purchase this in store with assistant the from a salesperson. I do hang dry and use a garment bag for all intimates that I end up skipping hand washing on. So, in my personal care of this bra I did everything standard that I do with all my others and this one is just not up to the standard I was expecting.
