Technically this bra "fits" but it's not tight enough, imo, to be high impact sports bra - I will stick with my other Syrokan for high impact, but I will save this for walking/hiking.

I'm wondering if a FOB person would have to size down an extra cup size more in the cups.

I think this style runs big in the cups (go down 2 cup sizes?) E.g., I'm guessing this probably would be better for me in 32E (and right now I measure 30G -ish)

I am tagging margesimpson since she also tried on this style. Let's compare notes, lol..

I sister-sized up in the ... band and it feels pretty good. Band is quite stretchy, but firm. For reference, I am 30" underbust measurement r.n. and this is 32 band.

Edit: I have read of different colours fitting differently in this style? Interpret that as you will. For reference, there are 19 different colours (last time I counted, lol) available in this style on the amazon, fun! But I've read of people trying this on in a different colourway and sending it back, ymmv.

Short roots, short waisted, center full, close set, immediately projected, omega shape...

This is no Shock Absorber, but it is exactly what I wanted (no padding, somewhat stretchy, lightweight, breathable, wireless, supportive). I've had difficulty finding a sports bra short enough for my short-waisted self that doesn't dig into a tendon near the cup/strap union. Additionally, I wanted a bra I could comfortably wear all day. This is it. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

The slightly too large band provides just enough extra space: my tendon is comfortable, and my lymph nodes are quiet. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> The bottom of the cup does ... not painfully dig in like Panache Sport after just 30 minutes of wear: I want comfort for more than 30 minutes. Certainly the bounce reduction is not as impressive as Panache Sports Wireless, but it is perfect for my more gentle exercise routine (yoga, Kinect Sports, hiking, walking)

If I don't scoop and swoop, the bra is too narrow. But, swoop and scoop moves my breasts to the center where I quad a bit. This is not a good sports bra for tall, center-full breasts, but it is perfect for my shorties.

Straps are cushioned and partially adjustable. Currently, they are adjusted to 50% of maximum. The back panels are ventilated which I will thoroughly appreciate in a few weeks.

Although I do not prefer the minimized and sad profile under a thin knit, this is my favorite sports bra so far. If it were available in a 32FF, I would prefer that size.

To be honest I wasn’t expecting much from this considering it was only $19.99 USD on Amazon. But I was shockingly surprised on how good this sports bra is. The color is beautiful! It’s leaning towards a vivid deep orchid purple. I love the overall look and feel it gives a good shape overall. There are some seams on it but I don’t think they stick out too obviously under a thin workout tank or top. I definitely love that it hooks in the back like a bra, so no having to act like a contortionist to get it off when sweaty. The straps are thick in both ... width and thickness. On the outside of the strap it’s lined with a non stretch fabric. On the inside it’s lined with a soft knit fabric. The straps come in far enough it doesn’t eat my armpits at all, but far enough apart that I feel contained. The outside cup is a non stretch fabric that seems to allow airflow. There is a nice white accents on it making it look sporty. The inside of the cup is lined with a thin spandex breathable fabric. The side wings are made of a sport like mesh with holes that allows maximum airflow that also doesn’t hold onto sweat. The underband is comfortable. Since they didn’t have a 30 band I chose a 32 and it fits comfortably on the tightest set of hooks. I do feel this fits as a UK32F size. Overall I feel pretty secure in this despite it not having any wires. I feel compression, but don’t feel as tho my boobs are smooshed into my armpits. I feel pretty secure even when bouncing around for a Zumba workout, but I may not feel as secure for an intense run. It definitely fits the bill for weight lifting and fast passed walking.
It reminds me of the Anita Active sports bra 5527 review here: http://bra.pe/SUg/ only this Syrokan fits way better and gives a much better shape.
