I wear a 28C/D typically in regular bras and was looking for a sports bra that wasn't too encapsulating without an underwire, but also shapely and higher support than my lululemon bras which are meant more for the 32 band girl instead of the 28-band girl.

Compared to the Jubralee bra, the Fiona's fabric is much softer and seems to be a little more forgiving. However, the shape and support seem to be similar on both. I find the Fiona to be a much more "comfortable" bra overall since I think the straps in the back are just a little more narrow and because the fabric is a little softer.

The cups definitely do not have any "padding" so it is possible for the headlights to come through every now and then, and that also means it's pretty compressing and flattening to the shallow chest (but definitely not as flat as some of the other Nike or Under Armour bras out there which have almost no support whatsoever. The fabric in this does tend to perk slightly but not much.

The 30C in the Fiona does run pretty true to size for someone who probably wears a 30C bra, if not just a tad smaller to accommodate my 28 band size. I find the 3 hooks a little difficult to get on due to my lack of shoulder/arm mobility behind the back and only being used to TWO hooks at my small bust size, but I am also consistently on the 2nd or tightest hooks because the band is of course not a 28 band and not as snug as I would like.

The adjustable straps are a nice feature and right now they seem to hold pretty well. Not sure how well they would accommodate a taller busted woman who needs longer straps but they work well with my short torso.

Definitely a nice choice & medium-high impact, I use this for crossfit stuff and it works well. I'm so used to racer-back styles but I find that the separate shoulder strap style wasn't bothersome at all, I forgot I was not wearing a racerback in fact!
