Avia Women's High Support Zip Front Sports Bra, Sizes XS-XXXL

It is surprisingly comfortable compared to the other high impact sports bras I have. It has good coverage and keeps the breast in their place, no bouncing, The zipper does not show through a T-shirt. Zipping is somewhat cumbersome at first, but once you get the hang of it, it' is not as bad. My only complaint is that the straps, although adjustable, are too short. I wear it with the straps as long as they go but some times I feel the straps digging in my shoulders.

I purchased a number of these, in both medium support and high support, following heart surgery. I had been wearing surgical bras in the hospital, and they were amazing, but $66 each. After purchasing a couple of the surgical bras for home use it hit me that a sports bra would probably do the same thing and I would get a lot more use out of them after recovery, so I purchased several of these Avia bras for the price one surgical bra. Once I found how comfortable they were, I purchased several more. I did have to make a couple of attempts at getting the right sizes. I would normally wear a medium to a large, but I had to buy extra large in these, and even these are pretty snug.. You might want to order a couple of different sizes and see which fits, but definitely lean towards your normal size or larger, not smaller.. I've washed each of them a few times now. I use really excellent bra bags and they are holding up like brand new.. They are a really good bargain. I have both the high support and the medium support and I find that the medium support is more comfortable..

bought this to help after a breast biopsy to keep the swelling down. its exactly what i was looking for. extremely tight fitting. i couldn't wear this as an everyday bra. probably a really good product for after child birth. im a large woman, so it was fairly difficult to put on by myself _ but i eventually got it closed. if you need a really tight bra for support _ this is a good one

l liked this bra alot, I purchased an XL because I read the other reviews saying thay the bra was tight so I went up a size which I should've done. The materials and construction of the bra is great and sturdy for us fuller chested women. I'm a 36 D 158lbs a large is perfect I got an XL but the next one I purchase will be a size L. the straps were fully adjustable and wide for coverage the cups were soft and covered upper and lowe boob no spillage.

I have been searching for a sport type bra for a long time. I wanted one that fit well and has the opening in the front. This one fills the need. It is comfortable to wear all day and even all night. The support for my chest is very good. The price is reasonable.

Never considered how convenient it would be to have one open from the front, especially as someone who's had lung surgery, and I like how I don't have to worry about pads turning upside down when sleeping or taking them out when washing. I also prefer thin padding, so it's perfectly comfortable to me. Although the crossing design took some getting used to, I like how thick the straps are compared to my usual. The front zipper also has a hook for added support and a sleeve/cloth shield for comfort, so I forget the zipper'a even there, until it's time to shower. I ordered 2 pairs and love them both. They both arrived in good condition, although luck may always play a factor. No complaints here. It doesn't even chafe for me. Take all internet reviews with a grain of salt. For example, regardless of a reviewer's opinion, take the objective elements in mind, like the following. Summary: Thicker (in width, not depth), crossing straps Thin padding Zip-open front with middle-hook Cloth zipper shield that prevents zipper-skin contact No concrete notes on quality assurance

The front of the arm hole fabric rubs the front inner part of your arm. If they would scoop that forward quite a bit, the sports bra would be awesome. I am using it to recuperate from breast reduction surgery. It is the best thing I've found for that so far…

This bra has a life of its own. It's like putting on a suit of foam armor. Definitely 'supports' by smushing breasts against the chest wall. Those babies won't move an inch. I was hoping for a front close non-wire bra that LIFTS and supports. This isn't it. Also, the front hook that allows for an easy zip is terribly awkward and impossible to clasp. I end up putting the bra on over my head. Runs small. I love the grayish color, and the zipper design is good, comfortable.

i had heart surgery last Monday the 10th.i must have a front closure bra. the one I orderedwas a 2x which is what I usually wear a 44DD. The bra wouldn't even zip up. I'll be returning tomorrow . I'm really disappointed. I need the support. hoping to get this straightened out tomorrow

The zipper and the clasps are too hard to manage. They do not connect at bottom or zip up easily. Found them too difficult to try and use. Bought a size small at first but they run very small, so returned for a medium and then had trouble with the zipper so did not keep.
