I couldn’t get this one over my shoulders – I had a medium – so Sian tested this one for me. Our first observation was that you wouldn’t be able to wear this one under a competition shirt without a jacket due to the colour.
Overview of performance
This fitted Sian really well – so we’d say it comes up slightly smaller and is more suited to someone with narrower shoulders. It was comfortable and really stretchy, which made it easier to put on. It wore well and the colour stayed strong through plenty of washes.
Sian’s likes and dislikes
I liked the design and the underband. The padding in the front of the bra moved around in the wash and there was no way of accessing the lining to sort them out easily, which is a bit of a headache. Overall, this sports bra is fantastic value for money.
