I bought 4 of these in 3 colours: 2 in orange, blue, and pink from Sierra Trading Post, as they were clearing them out. I like having colourful sports bras, much preferred to a standard black (boring) or white (ugh, sweat stains). The inside of the band is lined with a soft, ribbed material, and there is a soft checkered material in between the cups.

The bra is a combination compression/encapsulation bra. There is no underwire (my preference in sports bras). There are two 'cups' that are visible from the inside, but quite difficult to measure as the outer layer of the bra accomplishes the compression, so if the bra is lying flat the cups are pushed inside out. The combination compression/encapsulation does a GREAT job at ensuring that there is no lateral or vertical movement.

The cup part of the bra is made up of 2 layers, so there is some 'protection' from visible nipples, but if you were wearing only the bra and running in the cold, I think there would be some show-through.

One of my favorite features of this bra (and the Juno) is that the straps adjust in the front, by moving through a hole in the front of the bra and folding back around to attach to themselves via velcro. So once the bra is on, you can adjust the straps to the length you need without much trouble.

The band on this bra is quite firm. My ribcage is about 29 inches, and the 30 inch band fits perfectly on the loosest hook. I'm typically a 30F in a standard kind of bra (or maybe a 28 something?), so this bra may fit a bit bigger than a standard bra, as it spreads your tissue out over a wider area as it flattens it down against your chest. It's really hard to tell the difference in the volume the cup would hold, given that it's shape is much different than a standard cup. Personally, I prefer my sports bras tight - I want no movement of anything, so in sizing down to an E (the largest cup size for Moving Comfort, I'm afraid), I might be stuffing myself into a bra that is too small. It does what I want, though, so I would say it's the right size for me.
