I’ve searched the subreddit and as far as I can tell this question has not been asked before. Apologies if I missed a previous thread in my searching and this is a duplication.

Has anyone tried the new Evolve version of the Energy Bra Medium Support? In particular, I’m wondering how suitable it is for running and high impact activities. How does it compare to the existing Medium Support (non longline) version?

The sizing is throwing me off. Right now I wear size 4 in the Energy Bra Medium Support. The sizing for the Evolve is not numeric. The chart tells me to go to XXS (which is 2-4) for the Evolve, so I would be at the top of the size range and I really don’t want to end up in a bra that is tight.

I could order it to try on, but am hoping to avoid the hassle of buying and returning by getting some advice first.

The Energy Bra medium support (non longline version) is my “go to” bra. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best I’ve found for me and I love it for running and high impact activities.

Things I like about it:

1. easy to put on and off (step into it and out of it, like I would a bathing suit - no struggling to put it on and off)

2. comfortable

3. good support

Things I don’t like about it

1. removable pads - I spend a lot of time after washing them removing crumpled up pads and then reinserting them

2. the stitching connecting the band at the bottom with the rest of the bra gets very rough once the bras get older and can cause chafing on long runs (so I retire old ones to non running activities)

Thank you.
