I've been wearing the Barely There front closing Y-back for a few years even though the underwire seems to break after a short time.  I like this brand, so when I discovered a more traditional style I was happy to try it out.  This bra is very, very comfortable.  Much more so than the Y-back.  I've had the traditional style now for close to 6 months and none of the underwires has broken.  (I was lucky to get 3 months out of the Y-back.)  Really nice bra, comfortable and long-wearing.
