Seriously, most sports bras marketed to women with large busts were clearly designed by men or women with small chests. Just because you make a bra larger and wider does not make it suitable for a large chest. You really do need something to support you, hold you in, lift you up, and help you achieve definition. I've been sporting the oh-so-common unibreast for years, stuffing my breasts in size xl sports bras that were still a squished, constricting fit. Any time I so much as did moderate cardio, my chest, back, and shoulders ached.

This bra is by far the best sports bra I've tried. I'm so happy I decided to check amazon.com before shelling out for a different brand--the one I almost purchased was over $50 before shipping and didn't have any of the features this bra has. The adjustable straps are heaven. I can run as far and wide as I like, and I don't get a sore upper body. I don't have to adjust straps that keep slipping down my shoulders or pulling too-tight straps away from my chafing skin. This really does fit like a good-quality bra, with the adjustable back close and underwires.

The negative reviews on here seem to focus on vanity issues. Hello, this is NOT a uuber-sexy push-up bra. I don't strap myself into this bra, give myself a wolf-whistle, and go see how many men I can attract. This is the bra you want to shelve your breasts in while you sweat to achieve that figure you want to show off in a push-up bra. And, since my chest is properly contained and lifted, I look thinner and sexier in my workout tops than I would in a skimpier bra. I can toss my sports tops with the built in shelf bras, which hit me about mid-breast and flatten me (but that I needed to supply extra support and containment). I personally like the higher neckline. Anyone who has done bent over weight exercises and had an inferior bra give out on them at exactly that moment can understand the embarrassment of a sports bra cut too low.  I wouldn't recommend using this to replace other bras--this is (at least in my opinion) strictly a sports bra, or something you could pop on underneath your weekend sweats.

I plan to order multiples of this, in several colors. The reason I went for this model over others in the brand is the adjustable straps,
