I bought this sports bra due to the fantastic pictures of support and good reviews. I figured I'd only buy a single to see if I liked it before ordering more, so I ordered the green. Glad I only ordered one as I'm not planning on buying more, nor is this my bra of choice.

I would not recommend this for high impact. There is a lot of bounce with each running step. I even ordered a small to ensure it was snugger. The color was as pictured. And yes, when the pads are in, they are VERY visible. Even through a shirt on top, you could see the outline of the pads. (For discretion, I used pads from another bra which are round, neutral and, in general, less noticeable.) The fabric is thin and when no pads are in, you see everything (including outlines). Another minor flaw was the center of the front was sewn off center which is pretty apparent as they missed the mark by at least two inches.

Other than the bounce during running and the fabric choice, it's a great sports bra. The racer back fits right between the shoulders allowing for full range of movement with no pinching or chaffing. I found I could wear the bra all day comfortably as well. I don't feel I wasted money.

For those curious about sizing: I have a 32 in. band size. I typically wear a 34C bra, which put my recommended size at a medium. Due to my band size, I ordered the small and it fits snugly, but comfortably.
