ExOfficio Women'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 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!

When being very active the cups had a tendency to let the girls out so to speak. So I added a line of stitches to the cups and that solved the problem. I'd definitely buy again, and would still add the stitches. See photo.

They run really big. I got a medium because I'm six feet tall and I'm always afraid a small will be a short rather than just more narrow. In regular sized bras I wear a 34b. Medium fits; a small would also probably fit. It's not too big though. Dries in an hour, super comfy, don't wear it on the trampoline especially if you have actual breasts because it is not a restraint device. I wear this bra all the time but I have small breasts, I'm not a runner and I don't own a trampoline.

I have several pairs of the coordinating Give-N-Go briefs and I love, love, love them. They are my favorite underwear ever, so I was surprised that the bra is so terrible. I really can't figure out why so many people gave this item good reviews. This bra is a useless scrap of nothing that somehow still manages to be uncomfortable and annoying, even though there is hardly anything there. The material is scratchy. The cross-front fit is strange and uncomfortable and provides exactly 0 support. The straps don't work with racerback tanks, which is expected. But they don't work with any other sleeveless tops either because they are so wide that the edges stick out at the shoulder. It is possible that someone with a smaller chest might hate this bra less, but I can't see any use for it at all. Ordinarily I don't like to waste anything, and I have several cruddy bras that I've kept for years, but I actually threw this one in the trash.Sizing: I am 34D, and I bought size medium. It's the right band size, but the fit is terrible for me. It's possible that someone with a smaller chest might hate it less, but I honestly can't see why anyone would ever want to wear this. In terms of support, you might as well wear nothing. In terms of comfort, literally any other wireless bra would be better.

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.

I know this isn’t supposed to be sexy, but it is. It’s SO comfortable. I got this for camping or hiking because because sports bras cut into me and don’t breathe enough. I am 5’ 4” and 125 lbs. the medium fit like a glove. I am small busted...34B. So I can’t say anything for larger busted women. I could see how one could find themselves falling out of it. I work in an industrial plant and hate sweating in regular wire bras. I like wearing lightweight sports bras because it’s so comfortable and shows less...through my shirt. If you’re around my size and need a travel bra, lounge bra, sleeping bra, hiking bra, this is for you. I will be buying many more of these!

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.

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".

This bra is cool and comfortable. I have several, and I am so glad to have them for wearing in the heat (which is most of the time where I live), when I travel, and whenever I want absolute comfort (always). I can put this bra on and forget it throughout a busy day. I have a 107 cm (42 inch) bust and the extra large fits easily. They are very light, and take up very little room when packing. When travelling, I wash them in the shower and they dry very quickly. They seem to be wearing well. These bras and the Exofficio full briefs are the best underwear ever, travelling or not. Until these, I didn't know underwear could make such a difference to your comfort, especially when it's hot.

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.

didn't wear it. fits poorly. I think it was light years too big but I couldn't be bothered to return it. I gave it away.
