Comments about Ibex Balance Light Bra:

Reading other reviews I figured to try the size I normally am, Medium; since I have a broad chest, but small bust (36A). I was hopeful it would be just the right fit... almost:) The red one was small, thus fits me well -nice and snug and more supportive. The black one is larger, maybe more like a true Med.... so the cup size is a little big for me, but will prob be great for most that have a chest larger then A. I am not sure to keep the black one and wonder if a small will be too small or if the newer ones are now true to size?? Makes ordering more difficult is all. Otherwise my small chest loves it. Keep the metal clasp, as plastic is cheap and can break. Thanks!

    Comments about Ibex Balance Light Bra:

    This is, hands down, the most comfortable bra I have ever owned. Not only that, it is VERY flattering. (I bought it in black and will be ordering more.) I am small-busted and I ordered a medium. It fits perfectly, so perhaps ordering a size up is a good idea since I normally wear a small. Our climate is desperately hot and humid, but this bra performs like a champ. I tell everyone about Ibex undergarments!

        Comments about Ibex Balance Light Bra:

        I normally wear a small (34B), but read other reviews and ordered this in medium and it's a great fit. I wanted a low-profile base top that could double as a bikini top for high-altitude tanning. This is cute, dries in a heartbeat and is very comfortable even with a pack on. Not really supportive enough for running.

        Comments about Ibex Balance Light Bra:

        I was looking for a bra for the summertime that didn't feel like I was wearing a bra - something non-constricting, breathable. I don't need much support - I'm about a 38A or maybe AA! The Balance Light is pretty good. The band feels a little tight for me. I have a black one and an ivory one and they seem to fit differently. The black makes me look a little more "smooshed" under shirts, but is actually also good without shirts for more of an yoga/athletic top/sports bra look. However, it is pretty skimpy and as it stretches between washings, downward dog can be too revealing! The ivory feels more comfy and I think is less flattening, but it's too see-through to wear on its own. I don't notice the metal on the straps as some others have, and I do like the cross-back strap option. I wear the Balance light for camping, biking, jogging, yoga, and gardening in hot humid weather!

        Comments about Ibex Balance Light Bra:

        Love this bra but really wish it fit a bit more conservatively. I am a 36 C so I purchased the large. It is amazingly comfortable and perfect for casual days but I find it does nothing for my breast shape. I seem to fill the bra to overflowing and have a little overflow that can be seen with most shirts. Seeing that I ride my bike to work, I actually find this bra isn't the best for work days. By the time I get to work my breasts have shifted in the bra and are almost spilling out (I lean pretty far over the bike and gravity does the rest). I DO reccomend this bra just be aware that it might be best for casual occasions or smaller-breasted ladies. Also, I adore that I can make it a racerback for more support.

          I love this bra and have one in each color. I measure a 33b and started with a small, but ordered the next two in medium. The small was a bit too tight. Most of my Ibex shirts are smalls though, so this was an exception. Previously I wore the Patagonia "Barely There" bra, and am very happy to have found an all natural replacement. Way to go Ibex!

          The bra was comfortable, but not enough support for a cup size greater than a B. I'm a B/C and just didn't offer enough support. But it is comfortable and will work in the winter under heavy sweaters around the house.

            I love this bra. It's great for everyday use or for hiking and/or camping (doesn't start to smell after a few hours. I am larger busted (34D) and love when I find a comfortable bra that actually gives support. I wouldn't recommend this for anything high-impact, but it's great for what it is.

              This is a very comfortable, wear under everything bra. I wear a 34B and find the medium a perfect fit. I understand there have been some difficulties with the intricacies of the knitting/manufacturing process. Please hang in there. And more light colors please -- how about light pink?
