New favorite sport bra

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018

This bra was mentioned in Runners World as a good one for hot weather, and it was! Just returned from a 4 mile run in 85 degree heat and I am sold! The back and sides are nicely ventilated. It is soft and comfortable but plenty of support for a run. (Mind you, I'm only a 34B so it's not like I need a modern engineering marvel to keep the girls from hitting me in the chin on a run.) I like it even more than the expensive Brooks ones I have been wearing, which are very heavy and thick and don't breathe as well in the hot weather. Plus it looks nice, and the price is great.

Not for me

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2016

Almost gave this bra two stars, but I can't deny that it's well made and might be just the thing for some people. I was looking for a low impact bra for Pilates, and this bra just had too much going on for that. On the other hand, I wouldn't have used it for running, either (I'm a 36C). The cups were strange to me. I don't know, just didn't like it.

really like this bra

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2018

I really, really like this bra! In fact, I ordered a second one. I'm a 36D, so I ordered a Large, and it fits perfectly! It's comfortable, but has a very secure hold. I love the thin straps!! The only negative is that the under sides of the straps are a bit rough and scratchy against your skin. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. And this hasn't really gotten better with washing. It's tolerable, though.

Love, love, love this workout bra

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

I ordered the black in small and it fits true to size. I'm a 34A, athletic proportions, petite and in my mid 40s. After having nursed three kids, I just need the illusion of lift (not necessarily support - I'm an A) to get me through my HIIT type workouts and runs. My last bras either lost elasticity or I finally noticed things were hanging a little low. I like the fact that this bra has an adjustable strap, and the cups give lift, support, and coverage. As I've only worn this once so I can't speak for it's ability to withstand many washings or losing it's elasticity - but that's what the adjustable straps are for. I just ordered another in a different color (my first is black). I hope the quality is as good as it's make.

The fabric was stiff and scratchy. Fit was true to size, but I found it unwearable. It went back.

Favorite active bra EVER

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is by far my favorite bra ever owned!!! I am a 34D but love to be active so finding a good bra can be hard. This bra is amazing for hiking, lounging around the house, wearing as an alternative bathing suite top if boating or doing anything active on the beach or water. It is not high support so I would not wear it running to doing anything with much jumping, but it is great for everything else. I have 3 in different colors and highly recommend. Another plus.. if you walk or hike a lot, the straps fit perfect under a spaghetti strap tank top so the tan lines are about as good as you will ever get.

Nice bra!

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this as a replacement to the Moving Comfort Alexis bra (my favorite which they no longer make). My old bras are at least 8 yrs old. At first, I didn’t like it as much as the Alexis but it has definitely grown on me. I am back to order two more! I am small busted - 32C but I bought the M. I find I need the M on pull over style bras.

UPDATE: I now own 4 of these and I prefer them to my regular bras. I dislocated my clavicle last year and they just leave it to heal. As a result, my right shoulder slopes. I don’t have to constantly fix my strap on these.

Nice but NOT a soft apricot color at all. GUAVA

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

Four stars for fit/comfort and style! Lost a star for NOT being a lovely dark apricot!
Nope, instead it's a crazy nearly neon apricot color
(think biker wear for visibility). VERY disappointed in that, but I'll just use it to bike in then...not meditate.
These ARE what Moving Comfort Alexis Bra was / everything about the bra is nearly the same so I
was very glad to find it. I'm a 32B and the small fits perfectly. I run, but even I (itty bitty titty committee)
wouldn't do that in this bra. This bra disappointed people because it was wrongly labeled as a "run bra".
It's NOT but that's OKAY, it's supportive enough for walking, yoga, and light aerobics. It's a well made
bra but if you're not looking for that little "boost" in the cup size, stay away. I personally don't mind it,
the best part is NO HEADLIGHTS showing no matter how wet/cold I get. I really love that PRIVACY
especially at a gym!

Check sizing...

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

I purchased the large based on another reviewer's recommendation for a 32D sized woman. The band was way too large...my entire fist fit between my chest and the bra. Because people seemed to have such different sizing recommendations, I checked on the New Balance website to see what the deal was...turns out that this bra is intended for women with A and B cups, which might explain why many people are complaining that the bra runs small...it's possible they were purchasing for a C or D cup. This sizing is not at all clear from Amazon's description!

Overall, it seems a nice bra, but I'd recommend checking directly on the New Balance site for appropriate sizing before purchasing. My guess is that if you are A or B, the sizing is probably pretty accurate.
