Product Description
For the active woman, Valmont creates this sports bra that keeps you comfortable and supported however you move.
Customer Review:
This is a good bra for leisure, or even office wear, if you can get the right fit. OK for yoga and low-impact exercise. Be aware that this is not the type of sports bra for jogging, tennis, etc.
I prefer bras that are mostly cotton, combined with some spandex for shape retention. Compared to typical cotton-spandex bras, this bra is more supportive, but still not enough for sports. The soft fabric is thicker than a leisure bra, and somewhat more supportive than a leisure bra.
The back is mostly a mesh fabric that seems sturdy but comfortable. The bottom band is comfortable too, not scratchy. The bottom edge of the zipper is more comfortable than competing brands of zip-front styles.
Unfortunately, the straps are not adjustable. No uncomfortable buckles, rings, or other hardware on the straps. I'm a little over 5 feet tall, and the straps are a little too long. I like this bra so much, that I decided to keep it, and will attempt to get the straps shortened by a seamstress.
If you are planning to wear this for the office or other ordinary day-to-day activities, the style does have some limitations, as follows: Because of the racer-back style, the straps are not covered by shirts that have a wider neckline, e.g., boat neckline, scoop neckline, or even some V-neck tops. Also note that the edges of the bra are somewhat thick, they might not disappear underneath a tight, clingy T-shirt if the fabric is thin and lightweight. OK under a T-shirt that fits loosely and has a crew neckline.
Be aware that when bra makers say that cups are "molded", they mean something entirely different by the term, versus what most customers think of as "molded". If you are unfamiliar with this, just ignore the word "molded" when reading bra descriptions. The cups are somewhat stretchy, and not stiff.
Sizing: If between band sizes, I suggest ordering the larger band number, if this is intended for all-day wear.
Overall, I highly recommend this bra, but not for bouncy sports, and only if you are not short, unless you like to sew alterations.
