Description of Patagonia Active Sport 24-7 Bra (A/B) - Women's:
As a woman, you know the worst thing about a bra is when you keep noticing it's there. The Patagonia Women's Active Sport 24-7 Bra (A/B cup) looks and feels fantastically low-profile, so you can keep your focus on the singletrack, on your warrior pose, or on running between home and work. The Active Sport 24-7 Bra features lightweight wicking polyester fabric with interwoven mesh that keeps the sweat buildup at bay, and adjustable straps stay slip-free and secure. The under-bust band offers support without feeling binding. A busy girl's gotta be free to breathe!
Bottom Line: A bra that performs all day, every day.
I really liked the concept of this bra, though it didn't happen to work out for me in terms of fit. The bra has a lighter weight feel than the Active Mesh Bra from Patagonia, and has something closer to cups. However, an A cup doesn't really fill out the cup-like section. When the cup-like section isn't adequately filled out, the fabric forms ridges and lumps, and just looks funny. Finally, I think the sizing chart is a bit off, and I suggest ordering a size up or the bra will fit too tight around, and will be hard to get on and off.
So many of Patagonia sports bras now are more like stand-alone tops. This one actually has the same covering fraction as more traditional sports bras but with a new cut. I think the sizes run about a half size too small.
