ExOfficioWomen's Give-n-go Crossover Bra

Reviews for this bra were so mixed that I had to order one just to see for myself. I too am a fan of the Ex Officio underpants, so was curious to see how a bra made of the same material would be. I like it! I am a 34B and purchased size Small. I've worn the bra several times on hot summer days with loose-fitting woven shirts (e.g. linen) and while working outside for an environmental organization, and I'm very happy with it. Everything stays put just fine - nothing falls out, straps stay up, and when I'm back inside it dries out faster than more substantial bras. I can also rinse it out in the sink and let it dry overnight to wear the next day. It is rather obviously NOT a good bra for high-impact workouts, and I wouldn't wear it with tight knits due to the "headlight" effect. But it's great to have in summer rotation and it's comfortable. The only thing I would suggest as a change is that the bottom band could be a little wider as it has a tendency to roll slightly. While I would not typically post a photo of myself in a bra on the internet, I want folks to see how it fits on a non-model!

I wear these when I go for walks and I like them because they're comfortable. They are easy to hand wash, dry fast. I didn't like wearing them while gardening or doing yoga, because my boobs kept falling out and I needed to constantly adjust.

I'll start off by saying that I am a curvy girl with DD's. I really didn't think this bra would work for me since it doesn't have an underwrite and it's so stretchy. With that being said, I have worn it quite often since I bought it and it's hands down the most comfortable, breathable bra I own!It's definitely not perfect though...I WOULD NOT recommend any kind of high impact activity in this bra. There's not enough support for that kind of movement. At least not for my breast size.Also, with the crossover design in the front, one of my boobs gets full coverage from the fabric coming under the cross but the fabric making up the top (coming over the cross) let's my other boob kind of peek out from time to time and I have to re-adjust from time to time. I feel like it may be a flaw in this particular design. It's a little annoying.Overall, if you just want a super comfy, breathable, lightweight, basic, feels-like-you're-not-wearing-a-bra bra for nonstrenuous activity( if you are bigger chested) then I would recommend giving this a try.If you are larger than a DD I can't imagine that this would work out for you.Or if you plan on jogging in this either, probably wouldn't work out.

I bought this (and another one in black) for my trip to Egypt and Jordan in June. I needed a bra without a ton of padding and that was quick drying for the heat (boob sweat sucks, ladies, and it was 117 with my being outside 6-7 hours a day!). This bra was amazing at wicking away moisture, but it did not keep me completely dry. However, after 5 hours in the Valley of the Kings in 117 heat with me being down in the stuffy tombs, I think only a miracle would have kept me actually dry. I think that being sweaty in this bra was by far better than a traditional bra. It did dry quickly and the lack of padding let my boobs "breath" even when I was wet and sweaty. The bra also dried well overnight so it was dry the next day. The biggest surprise was that it never smelled! After 14 days of straight sweat, it still didn't smell at all!I am a D-DD and I did not experience what others wrote about with one of my boobs popping out if I bent over. I was always secure in it despite being very active (climbing up and down out of tombs, walking, hiking, sailing, etc.)However, the lack of padding came with a price. At the airport, I was an a fitted t-shirt and this bra (I brought no others) and the AC was on full blast (the first time I felt real AC in 12 days) and it was REALLY clear that I was freezing. Awkward... Thankfully I had a headscarf in my bag that was big enough to cover me up for the 2 hours I had to wait for the plane.Another perk, without padding they fold really tiny into suitcases!

This bralette is very flattering. Most like this tend to flatten you out, this one does not. It is perfect for travel. I travel 3-4 months a year and am very active. It resists odor and it's easy to hand wash if needed. I have not taken it to 30-60 days without washing as the company says is possible. I am a clean freak to some extent but, what I can share is that I can travel for a several weeks before I wash it and it does not smell as ExOfficio claims . I purchased 3 (2 black, 1 tan) in early 2015 for my Peru month long adventure. Now that I have had 5 years with my ExOfficio Women's Give-N-Go CrossOver Bra "Sporty Bralette", I purchased a few more, this time adding white along with a few more black. I love the white ones. I am a 34DD/36D and I purchased M and they are a perfect fit.

Probably one of the more comfy bras I’ve worn (from someone who’s rarely worn a bra for 3+ years. Looked fine under a T-shirt for running to town. A little bit of itch at the band. I think I needed a large instead of a medium. I had a little top bulge on one side and it was slightly short so that it sat about half inch up my under boob rather than around the band area. A decent amount of support, though, so it actually helped airflow under there. I think I’m a 36 b/c.

I seriously wear this bra every day! One thing that I really hate about normal bras is how they dig into my sides and don't really leave much room for movement. I'm a function over fashion kind of gal so I wanted something that was as comfortable as a sports bra but I was able to wear under work clothes. A couple of caveats with this bra, though, for those who are thinking of getting one (or two):-The bra is thin, so be sure to pair it with some bra cups if you wear it under work clothes.-This bra runs big, so be sure to size down by one or two sizes (I normally wear a 36c and a medium is just right in this bra).Other than those two things, this bra has replaced all of my other bras. I just wash it every night in the shower with whatever shampoo I have on hand, hang it on the towel rack to dry overnight, and voila! Fresh and clean bra every day!

I'm a 34B and I bought the extra small and small. I ended up keeping the small because I got it for $9 on sale. If it was full price, I wouldn't keep it. I'll probably still wear this bra for travel. The material is awesome, but the fit is weird.Pros:- The material feels like you're wearing nothing! I know it'll dry quickly and be awesome for hot weather or travel.Cons:- The straps are thick but they still dig in because the thin strips of elastic on either side are tighter than the material. This makes the strap material breathable but digs due to the thin elastic strips.- Not adjustable and I would have liked adjustable straps.- The cross over on the inside doesn't sit under my breast, it digs in across my breast a bit. You can see where it would hit you in the picture. It's not super uncomfortable but it bothers me that it was designed this way. Maybe sizing up would help but I was worried about the bra stretching out since it's not adjustable.- The bra causes weird puckering and wrinkles when wearing fitted shirts. If I pull the band down, it fits perfectly and looks nice. The problem is it doesn't stay down... the band rides up (not past your breasts) but directly under and creates a uniboob effect with wrinkled fabric. I'm pretty minimal with bras and my need for shaping, but even I'll admit it was super unflattering.Despite all the cons, I still like this bra more than my other bras and will end up wearing it. I think that says more about my other bras than this bra though.I also think sizing up may fix some of the issues I've experienced.

Extremely disappointing. This brand has not let me down in the undies department until this bra. It supports like the other reviews stated. Not much. Very comfy. This item did stretch out really fast and if you take a nap, ya boobs are falling right out. To be honest. Comfy is it is, I would not spend that kind of money when a 3 pack of looms costs less, points you in the right direction and supports more even for relaxed wear. If you are having a chill day in ya pj's, this could be a nice "lazy bra".

I love the light material. As a b cup I don’t need a lot of support & want something light & breathable for hiking & travel. This would fit the bill except as a 5’11” woman the straps are too short & pulls the bottom band up into the bottom of the girls. I’ll still use it as it’s better than a sticky sweaty corset that most sporty bras seem to be these days but I’ll be tugging at it fairly often.

I ordered this a size down, as per the reviews, but it is still too big. The straps are really wide--and I have pretty broad shoulders. There's no way they'd stay on. I looked into returning it, but "doesn't fit" was not one of the options for return. Also, I didn't not want to be out approximately 25% of the purchase price, which is what shipping would cost to return this. I ended up giving it to someone. I wish I had bought this from a physical store, where I could try it on.

I have these sports bras in XS and S and while not needing any support from a bra, I like to have a layer between my skin and a work out top to cut down on show thru - beige, white and black are my go-to choices and they wash well and dry so quickly.
