Description of Moving Comfort Women's Fiona Bra
Our #1 selling bra, the favorite that women buy in multiples, is always in the gym bag ready to wear. Front adjustable straps offer unsurpassed levels of comfort and custom fit.Moving Comfort's most popular sports bra, the Fiona features seam-free molded cups with one-way stretch powermesh that encapsulates the breasts for support and limits up and down movement. This means that you can maintain the shape of your bust, while still receiving the high level of support and movement control that you expect from a sports bra. Two-way stretch powermesh on the back of the bra provides extra-firm support, while front adjustable straps with flattering design lines and a concealed hook-and-loop closure provide a perfect fit and enhance support. The wide-banded back will not bite into your sides and is fastened with three plush-backed hook-and-eye rows. Bras with bands sized 40 to 44 have a fourth row on the band. The Fiona Bra is constructed with fabrics that manage moisture for high-intensity activities.
Designed for high-impact sports, the Fiona features combined encapsulation and compression support. The encapsulation bra cup construction surrounds the breast to give support and shaping, protecting the breast tissue from horizontal, vertical, and circular motion during sports. Compression bra construction redistributes breast tissue to evenly press against the chest wall limiting overall motion. The Fiona is an exceptional sports bra, designed to flatter a woman's form, while offering optimum fit and comfort performance.

Find Your Fit:
- Band: Should be slightly more snug than a lingerie bra. Make sure you can comfortably take a deep breath with the bra fastened on the middle hook. Be sure the band doesn't ride up in the back. If it does, the band may be too loose and/or the straps need to be adjusted.
- Cups: Adjust your breasts for a proper fit. They should be completely held within the cups without overflowing. Fabric should be smooth. Wrinkles or puckers indicate the cup is too big. Underwire should sit on your ribcage below the breast tissue and follow your natural shape.
- Straps: Should offer minimal stretch to reduce up-and-down breast movement. Wider straps will disperse the weight and feel more comfortable. Straps should not dig in or slide off your shoulders. Adjustable straps offer a more custom fit.
About Moving Comfort:
Two female runners founded Moving Comfort in 1977 before there were women's workout clothes. In the 30-plus years since the founding, the company hasn't strayed from its original purpose. Moving Comfort uses high-quality, performance fabrics that have the right amount of stretch, perfect quick-wicking moisture management, and a healthy amount of comfort--cut exactly for a woman's body.
Moving Comfort follows the following guidelines in constructing high-performance athletic wear for women:
Moving means moving: The how doesn't matter--running, walking, weight training, yoga, martial arts, skiing, snowshoeing, rock climbing, horseback riding, golf, tennis, basketball, volleyball, soccer, inline skating...Moving Comfort naturally understands and designs clothes for a woman's body, whatever that body was meant to do.
Quality comes first: Moving Comfort understands the kind of support and freedom needed in clothing, and how that clothing should feel against the skin. The company knows what keeps women warm and dry when it's cold and cool and dry when it's hot. Knowledge, expertise and high standards shape the fit, fabric and function of every garment Moving Comfort designs.
Fit affects everything: Keeping fit improves every aspect of a woman's life--reducing the incidence of heart disease, breast cancer, osteoporosis, depression, and drug and alcohol abuse. If a girl or woman is more comfortable when she's working out, she's more likely to keep at it. That's why Moving Comfort views its technical garments--and the great fit of each piece--as a means to encourage women to get fit and stay fit.
Apparel reviews of Moving Comfort Women's Fiona Bra
Customer Review: Not bad, but not good
Rating: 2 Stars
I was fairly disappointed with this bra. The materials are good quality and construction is clean (no weak seams, loose threads), but bounce control wasn't optimal and some of its "features" actually hurt a bit. I usually use two fairly cheap compression sports bras and can achieve minimal movement with them. This bra felt like 1.5 of those bras and cost about 2x more. The straps are looped through a slit at the top edge of the front of the bra and are secured by Velcro. You adjust them by unlatching them, pulling them tighter, and reattaching to the Velcro strip. This system is far inferior to the normal sliding adjustment most bras have. The straps dig into my skin at the point of attachment, and by the end of a workout those two spots on my chest are really sore.
Pros:
Good materials
Good construction
Cons:
Straps hurt
Strap adjustment system is bad
Bounce control is just so-so given the price
Customer Review: Runs big

I bought this in my normal size 38D but it is too big. I will keep it anyway because I don't want to hassle with an online return/exchange when I am not sure what my correct size should be in this bra. I have to wear this on the last set of hooks and put the straps up as high as they will go, then it is okay for strength training and low impact cardio, but the fit is still too loose to support high impact activities. The other thing I don't like is that the material is very slippery, so it is hard to fasten the hooks. On a positive note, the colors are beautiful. I got the mojito, which is a nice bright green. A lot of sites only offer basic black or white, so you may need to shop around to find the pretty colors.Customer Review: Very disappointed

I bought this bra after reading all the great reviews and have to say I am very disappointed. The bra is very well made and fits comfortably, although you have to take care to get the velcro on the straps lined up perfectly to prevent it digging into your shoulders. If I was just wearing it for walking it would be fine, but I wore it to a Zumba class and it was anything but okay. First of all, I was bouncing all over the place. The worst part though was that when I took it off after the class, I had never seen such a wet bra. So much for the wicking material. Even my old compression bras keep me drier. In short, not for high impact and not for women who sweat when they work out.Customer Review: disappointed

Mia bra has so much more support. Didn't realize this one did not have underwire. Gives you a uni-boob. Thought I'd try it to see if this was any cooler but it isn't. Would not recommend this for any high impact aerobics. Mia does not let you move an inch & keeps you from having uni-boob. Wish they would come up with a seamless version, though. But, this is better than a regular bra for sports & it does hook in the back. One thing to be careful, though, is the velcro strap adjustments. Get them precise or the velcro will rub your arm pit area.
