Like the bra but wrong size
So this is the second time of me ordering this product. And both times have received the wrong size. On the listing the sizing goes back and forth between US and UK sizing, and that being said I feel like there's a miscommunication between the orders and what is being sent out. I'm not sure if this is an issue with Freya or with amazon.As for the product itself, it is a very nice and durable bra. I wish I could figure out which size to order to get the right one in to wear properly.From the ones I received and tried on, it is nice and tight around the band which I prefer, and it does have full coverage. The straps are comfortable and don't dig. I will say, with the fact that it is a full coverage bra, if you have fuller bottom bust you will have some gaping at the top.

Not for wide/round bust shapes
(Bought on my husband's account, I am a woman.) I was really disappointed that this bra didn't work out in either of the sizes I tried it in. I usually wear a 28D in Freya bras, and their wireless molded t-shirt bra is my go-to everyday bra, so I was certain that their sports bras would be perfect for me. I tried this bra in a 28D first, but found that the bust curve was a little too pointy, and that it seemed to sit a little lower than my bust does, and no amount of strap adjustments seemed to work, and the neckline cut into my breasts at the top causing quadboob. I first tried it on thinking it fit okay, but after wearing for about ten minutes and fidgeting constantly either with the top or the straps or the sides, I realized it just didn't fit right.Since the cup was too pointy I thought maybe I needed to size up for a sports bra, and tried the 28DD, but ran into much the same set of issues: the cup was still too pointy, leaving gapping at the sides and across the bust point, but cutting into breast tissue along the neckline. It felt like it was made for torpedo breasts.Despite how cute it was, I had to admit that this style was just not right for my bust shape. I didn't feel held in or supported. For those with wide/round/spread out, wide-set, or like a wide and shallow bust shape, this probably isn't for you.

Great sports bra for larger cup sizes
I normally wear a 34J, I bought this in a 34H. I've been losing some weight so I would say I'm closer to a 34HH now. This fir perfectly, I could probably even go down a cup size.Fit: I would say you should stay with your normal band size (which should be your underbust measurement +/- an inch, DO NOT add 5 inches al la Victoria's Secret) but you could probably go down a cup size, especially if you want to really hold the girl in while doing high impact.Comfort: Very comfy. I own a few large bust sports bras. The Panache, while giving much better shaping, pokes me in the sternum and the wires are not encased under the arms and poke me horribly. No such problem with this one and I have washed it several times now. The material is very soft and the area around the hooks doesn't poke or scratch. It also doesn't dig in anywhere.Support: I wear this while doing light jumping and jogging. It's not 100% impact free, but it does the job quite well. If I went down a cup size, it might be even better.Shape: This gives a weird east/west torpedo boob look. I get that with all Freya bras. It helps that it's molded. You really can't tell very much unless you're looking down (it's just a tad pointy from the side). I don't really care because I wear it to work out, but some people might. It's probably very dependent on your shape, just like any other bra (I am full on top)Overall, I really like this bra and the price was right. I will definitely buy another.

Comically pointy cups
Perhaps this would work for someone with very different shaped breasts than me.

Good product, supports well
I really like this bra for working out. It's true to size and it has enough support for running, burpees, jumping jacks, etc. My only issue is with that upper hook on the back -- where you can have the straps in the back join together so that it turns into a racerback. There is no way to get that hook fastened by yourself. And you can't hook it first and then put it on. You won't be successful. Because I don't like any bounce at all, I wear the band tight and the straps as short as possible. In that case, there is no way to hook that upper back hook and still be able to breathe. But, if you wear it like a regular sports bra, it's totally fine.

I love Freya bras
I love Freya bras, and this is also a great, well made item. I did make sure that the one I purchased was sold thru Prime so that I could return easily. So many of the "free shipping" ones came from the UK and I knew there would be no easy exchanged.I did have to send the first one back as it was too large.I usually wear a Freya Deco 28GG or 30GG. I went with the 30 band size and initially ordered a GG cup, but it was huge and appeared about 3 sizes too large. I returned it and ordered a 30G which fit much better. I considered attempting the 30FF just to get a bit closer of a fit, but thought it might be too compressive.Yes it does have a pointier shape, but it doesn't feel awkward or look odd under clothes. The molded cups are just right as far as coverage and the support level is also great and I can run with no issues/bounce/discomfort.Overall very pleased with this product.I will also add that I did order the Indigo color for both of my purchases as I have found a variation in sizing with the Deco line between colors.

Amazing Bra!!
I just want to say this bra is amazing! It is so hard to find decent sports bras that tick all the boxes.I usually have to wear two sports bras in the gym on cardio days but just by putting this bra on and jumping on the spot a few times I will only need the one and its such a nice feeling to have. I got this bra is a 32GGThe only few negatives I have is that when it's on your boobs are really spread out to the side. And you have to move the little clasp at the back up towards your neck cause its a little bit to far away for my hands to reach.But I'll take that over wearing two bras any day of the week.Definitely recommend to those struggling to fine big sized sports bras with no bounce.

Awesome bra!
Very nice, well made sports bra. The material is nice and thick and it provides good support for day to day, and work use. I am a size G and it probably wouldn’t be great for Hugh intensity workouts but that is hard to find with pretty much any be. I’ll get a lot of use out of it and will definitely consider purchasing another one in the future. I love Freya. Always a reliable, high quality brand.

This bra is comfortable. However make sure you add 3 inches around your body for the band when you measure because it will be EXACTLY what the size says on the very outside hooks. I had to loose an inch to be able to wear it when it came.I am an H cup and it does fair for support, about the same as a regular bra this size. The bottom flips up or bends underneath during the day because literally the H size takes up my entire chest to the bottom of my rib cage. But for an H, this is VERY comfortable and breathable.

Big
I guess it’s Freya in general because it’s too big in the cups and too tight around. As compared to the Natori of the similar style.

Super comfortable with minimum bounce
I wanted to test this bra for a while before I review it. As a person with rather big breasts, I always struggle finding the right bra that is comfortable to wear but also offers the support I need. Additional to this, I also look for bras that don't make my boobs look even bigger than they are because that's just weird in my opinion. All of this is covered by this bra, I have been using it for a few months now while doing sports (I play volleyball and run a lot throughout the week), but have also been using it for every-day-use (at work, home and generally while doing my thing throughout the day). It is very comfortable, doesn't cut into the flesh as the other bras I've been using in the past (it does leave light marks but that doesn't bother me at all) and, most importantly, it does not cause any discomfort throughout the day. Other bras tended to aggrevate my backpain (neck and shoulders) sometimes, but this one doesn't so I can still wear it even if I'm tense.It's a great bra and I definitely would not only recommend it, but also will purchase it again in the future.
