The top fit just as I expected. Unfortunately getting it on and off took forever. The shelf bra had great support for the run and overall I liked it.

got this for my first reverse sprint triathlon. comfy. Doesn't dry as quickly as I'd like it too though. I'm a size 32A and couldn't figure out what size to buy (waist 26 inches, hips 34). I got the medium, based on reading reviews. The fit was different from others I have tried. The boob part was slightly big on me, then the rib cage pretty darn snug, then it flares out a bit to the hips (a little too big for me there). It didn't seem to affect my swim though and I didn't feel like it was too tight for running/biking. It is tough to get on and off, but it seems to hold its shape pretty well. Still not sure if a size small would've been better for me, but happy overall with product.

I normally wear a small, medium was good fit. Top fits well, perfect length, comfortable for a triathlon and looks nice. It didn't dry as quick as I had hoped after the swim of a sprint tri.

Loved the top even more when I got it. Spent a lot of time looking at different brands and different types to buy, but I'm glad I got this one. I"m only a 34 bust and the top is snug, but I guess that's how it's suppose to fit. I plan to use it in my first triathalon this month with the DeSoto shorts I bought!

Best Tri Top for Moms |

I don't have the 2010 version of this top, as mine is from a couple years ago (I've had 2 of them, though), so maybe the sizing has changed. My bust measures 34", and my top is a small. It fits fine. Yes, it is a bit snug, but you need it tight for the swim. I also wear a sports bra under the top. Most women should not rely on a shelf bra to support them while running because it just won't, especially when wet. ;) I LOVE this top because it is long enough to meet the top of the tri shorts. It is snug up top, but not too snug around the waist, so it is flattering. It comes up high enough so you aren't spilling out while on the bike, and it doesn't catch water when swimming. The body of the top isn't super tight, so it will flow slightly while swimming (takes some getting used to). It DOES NOT ride up when running!!! That is my biggest complaint with ALL the other tri tops I own. This one just doesn't. As a mom of 3 (2 of them twins), I don't want my tummy showing at all. The only complaint I have is that stuff tends to fall out of the pockets because they are located where you curve, so I just wear a race belt with a pocket instead to hold gels. I love this top and the Carrera tri shorts (the regular, not low rise). Desoto's tri apparel lasts a long time. I've had my shorts and top for 3 years, and they still look like new, and I compete in at least 4 tris a season, including a Half-Iron, so I get a lot of wear out of my tri clothing.
