"I ride dressage and am a 36D so I needed a full support bra as this claims to be. I was hopeful of the shape with the two cups that it wouldn't create a uniboob, but it did. It was also really uncomfortably tight around my chest underneath my breasts and I couldn't wear it for the 4-6 hours I'd be at the barn each day without tightness in my chest & breathing. I thought maybe it would stretch out to be comfortable but I find wearing it too uncomfortable to give it that much time! Also the review says it has adjustable straps but mine doesn't. It does ride high in the arm pits as others have said too. It's seems to be a durable and breathable fabric but I'm left still looking for a comfortable sports bra. I find my usual underwire bras MORE comfortable than being restricted in my chest by this bra!"

"I haven't used a sports bra before so this was my first attempt. I found it very bulky under the arms and not as supportive as I would have liked."

"I purchased two of these. One stretched out after 1 washing and 1 wearing (and I washed it exactly as recommended). The other has retained its shape and fits well. The stretched out one no longer fits. These do an OK job of minimizing bounce. It's not the best bra I've ever used, but it's not the worst either. Support is pretty good and I'm not that small in the chest. It makes a comfy everyday bra if you don't mind the uniboob look. I think I'll keep looking for a better riding bra though...
They are nicely made and I think they would hold up, as long as they retain their shape.
Maybe ordering a size down would work to guarantee they still fit after they stretch out?"

"This bra was large in some places, tight in others. Straps were not adjustable as is said in product description. Top of bra is large and cut so high it shows out the neck line of almost everything. Cut high and tight in armpits and rubs."

"I haven't worn this enough to determine durability and I'm hoping it will soften up a little soon without losing the necessary support. Had to exchange the first one for a smaller size but this one seems to fit reasonably well. Plastic strap adjusters seem to catch me in just the wrong place but that's probably got more to do with my body shape than anything else!"

"This sports bra is a good fit. Getting the hooks to line up on the first try is a bit daunting, but I hav a torn rotator cuff and hooking a bra in the back can be very painful. So far, I can get this one on without any pain. It works as advertised and i am happy with it."

"I am a 38C so I need that extra support without the painful pressure on the shoulders. I was hoping that this bra would fit the bill with its nice wide shoulders. It is very well build bra, but unfortunately the cups are way too large at the top by the arms so I had to return it so I can't judge how it really works."

"Did not provide adequate support, rode very high under the arms, and the shoulder straps kept falling down...all this while just trying it on. I knew it would not provide the needed support when riding, and straps that stay in place are a must. Sorry, SmartPak, this bra is not a good fit for the equestrian."

"Love this bra as a daily wear! Fits great and is comfortable and supportive. Can't use it for riding because there is no way to cross the shoulder straps, so they fall down. Great value."

"I bought this bra discounted but if I had paid full price, I'd probably return it. It's comfortable and has a nice wide band, but the material in the cup area is thin and does not have much support and I still feel I bounce too much when I ride. I think if there was thicker material right in the bust area, it would be great!"
