Big ride or big workout, the Stratos Bra won't let you down. The deep chest band and laser-cut nylon racerback provide medium support and cool comfort. Merino Shift Stretch fabric is fast wicking and durable, with added Lycra for stretch.
Love this Bra. I now have 4. The fit and feel is great. I wear it for all activities that make me sweat a LOT, to camping, to everyday wear. Appreciate being able to re-wear and they don’t get funky. I really like the thick band. It stays put and helps to remind me to keep my wide ribcage under control. I'm 60, almost still 5’5”, 118 lbs, athletic upper and generally wear a size small top loosely and the S fits me best but I can squeeze into XS and it feels snugly comfortable but very hard to take off.
The bra is nice looking, and I do like the material, but the band around the bottom is a bit too tight. it is also a bit long so that band comes down lower on my rib cage than I would like and if I push it up the bra fits weird
I struggle with sports bras as I have a relatively slender band (31.5") and big boobs (39"). I went with the large. Fits perfect around the band and I love the thickness of the band as it actually provides support and sits against my ribcage. (I tried the other styles of the Mons Royale bras with the thinner bands and the were a definite no for me.) The "cups" are definitely a little small to cover the boobs as much as I would like. Ideally need a couple more inches of fabric at the front sides, and the at the cleavage. Still fits better than almost any other sports bra I've tried so far and it's definitely nice to find one made of wool. I might try the extra large, but fear it will be too loose in the band. Potentially easier to "take in" though than add fabric?? Wish there were more options in athletic wear for people with bigger boobs. Mons Royale definitely seems hyper focused on these skinny models, which is a little sad.
Needs more fabric to the left and right of the front arm holes.
Given the average bra size for Women in NZ is a b cup, and these are stretchy, so size M should accommodate B-D depending on your back with. So L, which you expect also means large in gerth, would be say a E-F, then it would make sense that the XL should be G-H. More fabric required on the front of the arm holes, on the size facing the arm. Medium support. Comfortable if you ignore the boob spill.
