    This is one of the new styles of sports bra that has been released recently. It’s one of the bra sized styles that is offered in A-E. It’s not a perfect or terribly inclusive size range but, it’s a little bit better than some, I suppose. It’s designed for sweaty medium impact cardio workouts according to the website. The style of this sports bra is reminiscent of a Shock Absorber with the keyhole back design (which they say is for air flow.

    Long time readers of this series of Lululemon bras reviews will know that I am taking one on one Pilates lessons and that I need sports ... bras that are moderately supportive because of my size but, most importantly, comfortable. My activity is pretty low impact...I am not jumping up and down or jiggling around. We do a warm up, and a few exercises that involve a roll down, so I do need some support/containment here whilst I am hanging upside down some but, I’m on my back in a supine position A LOT...whether it’s on the mat or the reformer. We are doing some sitting up things and we very occasionally will do something in a prone position on my tummy.

    This bra is wireless and has semi encapsulated cups via internal foam shaping, but looks like a crop top from the front. As I said before, it’s got the Shock Absorber keyhole back vibe. The straps are semi adjustable on the top section and there’s a hook and eye closure with the band. I did find that I had to loosen the straps up quite a bit to be comfortable though I would probably keep them tighter if I was running or jumping and needed a little bit more support and lift. I also found that it was a bit tricky to do up the clasps and hooks, which I can say has been a consistent challenge with all of the hook and eye closure styles that they have. Perhaps it is easier with wear or simply the material that the hook tape is made of. It’s not a huge problem but, rather an observation.

    Now, the band itself was a source of confusion for me. The x shape of the keyhole back was pretty snug in this 34DD but I could do up the clasps on the middle or tightest hooks which is obviously not ideal. But at the same time, it was still comfortable and I felt support from that keyhole section as well as the long length.

    I think I might have tried the 32E a few weeks ago when I bought my leggings and I think I remember that it was fitting really tight and small but it might have been a 32DD or perhaps I hadn’t extended the straps. I might need to try it out again but I think that this pink one might work out quite well for me and my needs. It is maybe a smidge of overkill with the keyhole back and all but it is not as much as the Panache Wired Sports Bra I have is.

    • I tried this one in 34E as well and I was spilling over the cups. I have the same problem with the X back styles, it will feel super tight everywhere and then I can do the clasp on the tightest hook!! I also find them difficult to get off when I’m tired after a workout lol

    • Yeah I suspect that the x is snugger and makes it fit a bit smaller. The more I think about it, this one is probably going to be better than the 32E. But I do love this colour and how it does look like a crop top from the front.
