I love this bra! I have a tough time with underwires because of where my ribs are & working out in a bra that rubs sucks. This Panache sport bra is wonderful.

I use it for Zumba, so you know it needs to hold well. And I wore it while nursing, so my breasts were pretty heavy with milk too!

The shoulder straps are wide & really comfy.

Ready to buy a different size now that I'm done nursing and down a couple cup sizes.

This fits similar to the Blue Marl colorway. However, the cup width in the Black colorway uncomfortably bisects my under arm breast tissue. It will be OK for 30 minutes of exercise, but anything longer will be too uncomfortable. On me, this is a compression bra. However, it is designed to be an encapsulation bra. Panache Sports bras accommodate full on top and taller-rooted breasts which I do not have. So, sizing down helps reduce bounce created by empty space in the top of the cup. However, one size up is more comfortable.

This bra fit better than the 30E - Panache Sport » Non Wired Sports Bra (7341) that I tried at the same time. The materials are super soft and comfortable, but that made it feel less supportive in this size. I would probably need a 28-band in this colorway. I wish the straps could adjust shorter. I ended up ordering another colorway that I preferred and looked better on my skin tone.

I was shocked to find that this bra didn't fit when my 30F became too loose. I had to size down another cup to a 30DD, making it the smallest bra I own based on the tag size. I think this is due to the fact that it is wireless and somewhat compressing, and also because I am more FoB. Panache Sport are known for needing a size down if you are less full on top. What I also noticed about this colorway (Latte) is that it runs loose in the band compared to the other colorways I've tried (including Ultraviolet, Black/geo and Floral/gray). The materials are also somewhat softer, which is nice, but I would need a 28 for sure. The straps were also much looser than I found with other colorways. I have to wear this bra with the straps tightened all the way and the j-hook connected for full support. The Latte color also clashes with my pale skin.

Although my underbust measures 28", the 30FF Panache band was so tight I couldn't breathe freely. This 32F is much more comfortable. However, the top of the cup bites into a tendon. I'll exchange this for a 32E and hope the dimensions change enough to enable comfort.

Short, projected, close set, center full, omega shaped, slightly narrow, even breasts....

This is my second sports bra. The first was a 30G Shock Absorber 4490. I've been happy with my Shock Absorber, but I needed one more sports bra to lessen my laundry frequency. Thanks to letstalkaboutbras I was compelled to try Panache Sport's 7341. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

The materials are supportive. The construction appears to be good quality. The seams do not chafe or bind. The j-hook is easy to fasten while wearing. The staps are thoughtfully padded over the shoulders. And, the padding is sufficient to shroud prominent nipples. Yes!

I like ... it, but this is a "lot of bra." It is 100 degrees F today. I perspire just thinking about wearing this. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> I would choose the Shock Absorber everytime during summer over this Panache because of the padding. For winter, this Panache will be great. But, in summer,....phew...I'm perspiring. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

The design better accommodates taller roots than Shock Absorber 4490. And, because of the space for taller roots, my narrower breast bounces more in Panache 7341 than S.A. 4490. But, the bounce does not hurt and I can freely exercise. My wider breast is perfectly encapsulated and I risk discomfort if I size down. So, I'll tolerate a bit of bouce and continue jumping around.

For the price I paid, I'm content. However, I would be unhappy had I paid full retail considering the excellent results I've had with a less expensive S.A. 4490.

Overall, this is a comfortable sports bra and my breasts celebrate the lack of wire https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

Last year, I found this bra in 30G to be an excellent fit, much better than the Panache Sport Sports Bra (5021)](model:11622) . See 30G - Panache Sport » Non Wired Sports Bra (7341) for a comparison review of the wired/wireless versions.

At that time, I tried a 30FF and found it to be too small (see 30FF - Panache Sport » Non Wired Sports Bra (7341)). I was spilling over the gore. The 30G was a better fit all over, although the cups were wide, and it had enough coverage for my upper fullness without conflicting with my short roots. It ... also gave me a really nice, rounded shape under clothes.

I have since lost weight and have been sizing down in all my bras from 30G to 30FF. I ordered this bra assuming it would fit in line with my new size. However, I have also had some shape changes and loss in upper fullness. This time, the 30FF still seems too big. The gore tacks fine and the cups feel comfortable at the bottom, but there is a load of empty space at the top. I can pinch a handful of material beneath the straps and across the chest. It also gives an unpleasant east/west pointy appearance.

I have tried it on a couple times and hope that these issues will be resolved by going down one more cup size and not that this bra is now a shape mismatch for me. I need a sports bra right away and would hate to have to start from scratch.

I still have a new 30G version in black geoprint that fits me very similarly to this 30FF in floral/gray, with just a tad more room in the cup. I wonder if the new colorways run larger in the cup? Even though my underbust size has decreased since last year (28.5 snug from about 29.5), the 30" band is still comfortable and supportive.

A lingering issue that repeats from the 30G is that the straps don't adjust short enough. The j-hook helps with that, but just another 1/4" of space would have been nice.

As for the appearance and quality of this bra, I really wanted the coral/gray colorway, but couldn't find a good price in my size. So I kind of settled for the floral/gray one (neither of these are "gray", but more slate blue, by the way), and when it arrived I was very happy with the it. It's a little over the top girly, but it's pretty and it's going to be under my workout clothes anyway, in which I will feel distinctly un-pretty, so why not? Also there were no pics on Bratabase of this colorway, so I've added some.

Notes on quality: In the photos, you may notice some buckling along the front seams of the bra material. I think they are all like this. Also sometimes it feels like the material comes away from the foam towards the band/bottom of the cup, like the outer material shifts, but I only notice it when I take it off and feel it, not when wearing. Again I have found that the interior foam of the cups seems to crease very easily inside, even when it fits well. That's annoying for me because I like my bras to stay in great shape for a long time. It doesn't appear to affect fit or comfort.

This bra allows quite some boob size fluctuation. If I wanted to wear padded Cleo bras (such as Juna, Darcy, Maddie, Karen) I'd go with a UK30E and with @B.tempt'd Ciao Bella I wear 30DD for the first half of the cycle and 32DD for the second half. However I don't get any quadro-boobing even though it should be two cup sizes too small.
Since there are no wires they can't be too narrow or too wide but the moulded cups seem to agree well with the shape of my boobs.
The centre gore can't really tack because there are no wires to make it tack, but I'm very ... pleased with the fit of the cups as they are very comfy.
The shape under a shirt (which I didn't show because it's similar to the 30D, which I'll show as well) is rounded and uplifted.
If you're in between cupsizes I would go with the smaller one. Since my skin got so sensitive (no idea why, not pregnant) I'm not a good judge for bands as I opt for as loose as possible without slipping, but I think if you're between bands I'd maybe take the bigger one. Currently I do not think I could give a bra excellent for comfort because eventually a particular spot on the underbust band will hurt, but it's very comfy. I also often wear it as an everyday bra as well, because the shape is so good and it's awesome support for hurting PMS-boobs.
I'm not the biggest fan of colours, but the steely blueish grey and the coral of the bra are quite nice.
To me it's still a big flaw that a sports bra is not made for machine washing because Shock Absorber sports bras usually are.
Anyways, I'll probably get another Panache Non Wired Sports Bra in 32C if they release another colourway that I fancy.

Gray/Coral colorway

I normally wear a 30G in most bras. When I was shopping for a Panache Sports bra, I was recommended 30FF because the cups run roomy. In my experience, this is not the case for the 30FF - Panache Sport » Non Wired Sports Bra (7341) .

I had a lot of fit issues with this bra that people had difficulty helping me to diagnose. The first issue was that the gore was not separating me well and my larger side was especially overflowing (or pushing behind the gore, which is effectively just a piece of soft foam in this bra). Secondly, there was considerable wrinkling ... at the bottom of the cups where I couldn't fill it out and the band felt a little too snug. When I took the bra off, the wrinkles were still showing in the foam. I called the retailer I bought it from and they suggested that going up a cup and/or band would not help.

I could not figure out if it was a shape mismatch or just too small. I went up a cup to my normal size (30G) and that was a better fit.

I have since determined that the cup wrinkling wasn't so much a shape issue as the fact that I'm short/high-set and had to pull the bra up into my IMF better. Since the band is tighter than usual for a 30, it stays up well once it's in place. The rest was the too-small cup.

I'll leave a full review on the 30G model.

This was my correct fit in this bra, but I returned it because it was damaged. I also found the violet color to be way too loud - much more so in person than online. I will do a full fit review on the Geo pattern.
