Finally!
February 19, 2012
Finally a sports bra that doesn't make me claustrophobic getting it on and off!!! This design is amazing! Very easy to get on and off (I find some bras difficult to get off when sweaty) It would also be an easier type of sports bra to get on/remove if you have shoulder range problems. I can't comment on the durability - I've had it for a few weeks now with no complaints, but don't feel that I've had it long enough to comment further. I usually wear a 34 B and the small in this bra fit great. I'm really impressed with the support that it provides.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of useWrite a review for the Patagonia Switchback Bra here.

When I first got this bra I didn't think I would like it -- I tend to prefer sports bras that have actual cups and the unusual design made me feel like I was strapping on some sort of harness. After wearing it for several hours of biking, running, and crossfit workouts I've decided I like it. The adjustable band does a great job of providing support without being an underwire and having it fasten in the front makes it easier to put the hooks just where you want them. One drawback for me is that the material does an excellent job wicking up sweat, but not evaporating it, so the bra stays wet for a long time post-workout. I'm a 30E and wear a small, though I would probably go for an x-small in the future.
