Don't get TOO active in this...

Rating:****

This top looks great on and is good for mild to moderate activity. Anything strenuous though, and you may be putting on a show. Because the same straps that adjust the shoulders also adjust the back, its really hard to get secure fit without making it uncomfortably tight. Good for kayaking, not quite for volleyball (though this may all vary depending on the size of your chest, ie, the smaller the better...). Fabric is sturdy and seems like it will wear well. If you are looking for a more comfortable option to replace your halter-style tops, go for it. If you need something athletic, skip it and get a racerback.

Cute & Comfortable!

Rating:*****
This is by far the best swimsuit I've ever purchased. In fact, I ended up buying it in two colors! It's fashionable and functional. I am a C cup so the criss cross straps offer great support - taking a lot of tension out of the back of the neck and balancing it on the shoulders (like a regular bra). It's great for diving too!

Sporty and flattering

Rating:*****

I love the way the straps cross in the back without putting pressure on my neck. A 34B, I opted for the small, which is the right size, but it is not super secure, especially if I raise my hands over my head.

Like this top!

This top fits well and I have a difficult time finding Bikini tops to fit correctly. I am an A cup and this top looks great. The straps work well to fine tune the top even more.
