First off I accidentally added this under "Freya" not "Freya Active" so maybe that can be fixed by JJ?


Review:

I got this in 32H. To compare, my Panache Wired sports bra is in 32H aswell. (Just realized I've not even added that one here I will do that next week).
The size difference between the two is crazy, I thought the Panache fit pretty well but after trying this bra on, and then the Panache, the Panache is like, 3 sizes bigger than this bra. I will measure when I am home next week.

The band is quite firm, more firm than Panache.
The wires are wide, but the cups ... are projected enough that my tissue seem to stay in place so far, I will have to return once I have actually worn this to the gym to review properly https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />


It has 4 hooks in the back.

Because the band is quite tight, a little too tight for me, the bras edges under my arms do dig in, but I would think this will be fixed by an extender until I "break it in".

The gore fully tacks on me in this sports bra, it doesn't on Panache. My boobs also fill out the entire cup, there's no empty space anywhere except near the wires on the side, but that part lays flat anyway, the wires won't bother me at all I think.

Overall I am impressed. I've seen Freyas older sports bra models and they look awful, cone shaped, east west. This one, before I bought it I saw a few videos/photos where it looked really pointy from the side so I was scared but look at the roundness!!

This one feels like a replica of the Panache one , but better. I am completely strapped in, I did the jump test and the boobs do not move at all.

Do not sleep on this bra!! If you're unhappy with Panache try this one.


PS I got this in the ugliest color because it was on sale LMAO. It comes currently in 4 colors. This one, Galactic, Black, Leopard and a weird pinky black mix.

Galactic colorway

First bra in my correct size! There is a bra underneath the top layer of fabric. It has great coverage; a lil modest and a lil showcasing, like just the top part about 1/3. Hides nipples well so far, haven't tried it in the water as yet. Holds and supports my close set, fob heavy 32H/K breasts, when I jump, there is a minimum to moderate amount of jiggle, but it holds me in really well. I also like the backless design, it still supports even with that!

I bought this bra in pink and in black to replace my panache sports bra, which was really uncomfortable.
When I wear it I feel smokin' hot!
I am happy with it generally but wouldn't recommend it for running or jumping around a lot, it seems to gape at the top, so the goods wobble around like jelly! Still it was the best sports bra I found considering I was previously wearing 2 bras at the same time to get the support to go running. In the bra shop yesterday the assistant told me that the gaping at the top problem is something lots of wearers of this ... bra complain about.
I just bought a shock absorber bra from her which I was skeptical about because it's wire free but I am so so happy with it. Just a bit sad that that one only comes in boring black or even more boring white. If you're thinking about getting this bra definitely get fitted in it in person if possible and compare with the SA one because I think it's better.

Gore wouldnt tack for anything. Wires are SO soft, its insane. The bra felt simultaneously too big (wrinkling where the apex should be, empty space at bottom of cup) and too small (0.5" floating gore, boobs couldnt fit in cups). I guess my apex was too high, and it couldn't handle my center fullness. Minimum bounce reduction. Design is kind of cool tho, has an additional UU wire on top of the underwire, stronger underwires wouldve accomplished waayyyy more IMO.

The shape of this bra is a disaster for my full-on-top breasts. The center gore does not come close to lying flat, even though when I push it to my sternum, there is no quad-boob. The shape is also downward-pointy, which I wouldn't care about in a sports bra, if it did the job, but sadly, it does not control the bounce. The search for the right sports bra continues...

This bra gave only very slight bounce control for my fob, wide boobs - I only had to jump slightly and there was significant movement - way too much for me to even consider running or jogging in it.. I'm very disappointed as it has such good reviews ;( I also tried it in a 32G and 34F just to be sure - same story..

I don't like this bra as much as I liked my old Panache sports bra, but it does its job. In terms of bounce reduction, it works very well. But there are some issues when it comes to fit and comfort.
The band is very firm, but I can still fasten it comfortably - however, if I gained any weight around my ribs I'd need to go up a size. The cups are also extremely wide. Again, this is not a problem for me, but I'd recommend avoiding this bra if your breasts have a narrower root. The other problem I have with it is that the sides of the cups are very high under my arms, and can dig into my armpits uncomfortably when I reach forwards.
The centre gore also doesn't quite tack for me. This doesn't seem to be a problem with the cup size, but rather an issue with the shape of the wires versus the shape of my sternum. It doesn't seem to be a problem in terms of the function of the bra.
