This bra, no question, feels somewhat like armor. I actually like that. I'm middle-aged with a 46D set of girls, and I needed a racerback bra for my racerback workout tops. There aren't that many for my size, so my options are very limited. I tried teh Glamorise one, and I found the fabric scratchy. This one, while "armor-ous", keeps me in, holds me up, and allows me enough movement to do my Pilates with my trainer. It gives my breasts a rather nice shape--uplifted but NOT snow-cone pointy. Of all my racerback sports bras, and even some of my wire-free sports bras, this one's gotten me the most compliments on my bosom. :)

The hooks are a bit of a pain. There are a LOT of them going up the front. With presbyopia, reading glasses help (the black bra, you just have a hard time seeing the hooks if you've got older eyes).

But I'm happy with the feel of the fabric, the moisture wicking (for real, it does), and the uplift/support without compromising needed flexibility for those weird Pilates moves.

I've yet to find a perfect racerback sports bra, but this one's my fave for my plus-size frame and D cup babies.
