Didn't fit
I bought this bra about 2 years ago and still wear it. At first, it was almost too tight on the loosest hook - and my ribcage is 27 inches! Since I bought this bra I have tried a couple others (Panache Sport and Shock Absorber Run) and neither have given me the support that this one does. I did have to do a minor repair at one point when the strap became detached a bit from the back, but it was very easy to fix and that has been the only problem that I have had with the quality of this bra. After a year it no longer worked as a maximum support bra, but I still use it for everything except jumping around or running.
Pros: The straps don't stretch! They are made of the same material as the cups and instead of sliders to adjust them, there is Velcro that does not loosen! The band is very tight for one that is marketed as being for 32/34 bands. The support is unparalleled during the first year of ownership. The underwires are very comfortable and lay flush against my sternum, encapsulating all of my tissue even with movement. It gives a decent shape - not completely monoboob, but definitely not defined. It shaves off several inches from my overbust measurement without making me feel 'squished.'
Cons: There isn't any padding in the cups, so if you get cold there will be evidence unless you are wearing a thick shirt. If I wear this all day, my breasts do start to ache a bit (from the compression) but this has only been when I have been wearing it for more than 12 hours.
Overall, I am surprised that more people don't give this bra a chance. It is significantly cheaper than many others that have tons of reviews, and, in my opinion, gives much better support. Also, I love how it makes me look several cups sizes smaller. It's so much easier to focus on exercising and stuff when I don't have to worry about my breasts getting in the way!
I believe this bra is being retired, so get one while you still can! [The sizing is different on this one depending on where you buy it from, but for reference I have the 32/34 D/DD (on BareNecessities) and that translates to size 2 (on the Champion website).]
