Solid compression, good wash. Nice for running, but the material is thick. Totally worth it to stash phone in the back though.

5 Carrie
[ This Luxe pocket bra may be my favorite sports bra I have ever owned. As an avid runner and yoga enthusiast, I have owned every type of sports bra imaginable and this one is by far the most comfortable. It's buttery soft fabric is so silky. If was n't running in this bra so often, I would probably even sleep in it. The straps, generous side panels and design in the cup area provides support without excessive restriction. I love that the side panels do n't dig into your arm pits or under your arms. My favorite aspect of this sports bra has to be the incorporated back pocket. This is the first time I have owned a sports bra with a pocket that did n't bounce around the contents during a run. I can carry everything from my phone to keys to credit card to gels in the pockets, and have tested it on runs in a range of intensities and durations. Never fails! If I could change anything about the Luxe pocket bra it would be the removable pads. Would love to have the pads sewn into this bra without having to smooth out the pads each wash. That being said, it washes with ease and after many washes, it has not shrunk and the fabric still looks like new.

5 Stacie
[ This has become my go- to running bra! The pocket in the back is perfect- my phone fits so snugly that I forget it's there. Previously, I would either use a running belt or a bra with a pocket in the front side, and after trying the Luxe Pocket Bra I wo n't be going back. It's the best option out there for running with my phone! It's also such a comfortable fit. I found it to be a great running bra- due its design, comfortability and isupport. I love how it keeps everything snug while running. In fact, it keeps everything so snug that it does not flatter my figure:) Now, if they could take this Luxe Pocket Bra and add underwire and cups it would be the dream sports bra in my opinion.

5 CamrynF
Very support and enough coverage I feel comfortable wearing it like a tank. Great support for larger boobs.

5 Seattlerunner
The first bra I 've liked from Brooks! This bra is just what I 've been looking for. The fabric is very comfortable and the phone pocket is amazing. I honestly have to check if my phone is even there sometimes! I really like the longline cut. I am 5' 4 '', 113 lbs and am ~36AA and the medium is perfect( which is pretty typical sizing for me). Fabric is a tad on the heavy side but that is my only complaint( love the softness though!). I bought 3 already.

5 Fragglerock
[ I wear these Icebreaker bras year round- they ’ re comfortable, flattering and sufficiently supportive for 34B. The cut means they fit well under sundresses, camisoles and tanks. I prefer a size medium but can wear a small.

5 Happy
[ This bra has become my favorite. So comfortable and I like the light padding. I wear it instead of a bulky sports bra as well as an everyday alternative to my favorite non- wool bra. Some reviews mentioned a weird fit but for me it fits great, looks good and feels good. Will definitely be my travel bra from now on.

5 Christie
[ I tried the siren bra without pads first, but felt to flattened for my small chest. This one had just the right amount of padding and fit me well. I wore it for a few days without washing and never noticed a smell!

5 Jenn
[ This bra is very comfortable, and is the closest thing I 've had to a real bra in years( it keeps your boobs separate, unlike a lot of bralettes or sports bras). I was a bit worried about the seams in the middle showing up under clothes, but they are far enough down that I have n't noticed anything. I 've sweat while wearing it, and it wicks it away and comes out smelling lovely. The wool is n't itchy and the band is supportive, but not too tight. So far I really like it! Ca n't speak to durability yet though.

5 Skier
[ Super comfortable, like nothing is there. Seems best for down time, daily use. Did n't seem like it would be supportive enough for activity. Good odor resistance too!

5 PhantomTurfCleats
[ This tank top with built in sports bra is fantastic because it is comfortable for leisure wear and has enough support to wear during exercise: running and weight lifting. The built in bra was comfortable and the band going around my rib cage was just the right fit. The strap width was cute and functional to give me enough support, and the hole in the back design is amazing. I like the v neckline but it was a little gappy when I leaned over in the weight room.

5 Ziomara
[ The Nike Universa Bra Tank is everything I didn ’ t know I needed. The fit is comfortable and supportive, with a longer torso that gives just the right amount of coverage while still feeling sleek and flattering. The material feels buttery soft yet strong enough to hold up through movement and long days. What really stood out to me was the design. The back cutouts add the perfect touch of style without being over the top. It made me feel confident, feminine, and comfortable all at once. I love that it strikes that balance between sporty and elevated, and it feels age appropriate while still fresh and timeless. This top moves with me through workouts, errands and busy days with ease. It ’s one of those pieces that makes you feel good the moment you put it on giving you confident, supported and ready for anything.

5 T
[ This top was so comfortable and cute. The sizing was spot on. I did not have any problem with it riding up or rolling during my workout. The material was silky feeling on my skin. It was not see through and was thick enough that I was confident wearing it. I definitely will be purchasing more and I can see this being a staple in my workout wear.

5 Jay
[ This is a really comfortable sports bra. The material feels nice and the fit is good. I like the design, it ’s like a shirt/bra combo. It ’s a good look for the gym or running. I really like the fit and feel of the sport bra and would definitely recommend it for a workout.

5 ComfortableJordans
[ This Nike tank is so good. The fit is smooth and flattering without trying too hard. The fabric feels strong and well- made — I ’ ve only washed it once so far, but it didn ’ t lose shape or get weird like some cheaper workout tops do. It holds everything in place without feeling stiff or uncomfortable. It just feels right. Honestly, it ’s one of those pieces you end up reaching for over and over again. Sleek, tough, and actually made to last.

Comfortable sports bra, moved with my body while working out. No issues. I do believe it ran small in sizing. Def would purchase if available in my local DSG or online. Would definitely recommend this product. Also turned out that I was in need of a sports bra when contacted about this product. Washed nicely, held its shape perfectly after washing.

5 Mom of 4
I really love this sports bra. I feel like I ’ m wearing nothing! It ’s so soft and low profile- it doesn ’ t look weird under your clothing. I have been now wearing it not just for my workouts but for everyday. I love the T- strap back so I don ’ t have extra straps showing. It ’s very comfortable and I do feel like it ’s very supportive. As a bonus, it ’s 50+ UV protectant. Lower cut under the arm so no chaffing when I ’ m dripping with sweat! It ’s my current favorite go to bra!

5 Rosythorn
Very comfortable full coverage light- medium support bra for everyday or light workouts. I am a D cup so I went with the large it gave me full coverage but ran a little small for D cup. I love that it is easy to put on and take off it doesn ’ t stick to you when sweaty like some sports bras do

5 Jen83
I was surprised by the quality and feel of this sports bra top. It feels super buttery against the skin. The fit was also true to size for a medium. I ’ m a 34DD and sometimes go between a Medium and Large in sports bras. This one is definitely a true medium. So slightly on the smaller side for me, but that adds a bit of sexiness that I ’ m not mad at.( Remote included for reference. It ’s more of a lower cut neckline)

5 Becs
[ I love how cute and comfortable this sports bra is! The fit is true to size. It feels secure without being tight, and the band sits comfortably without digging in. The racerback gives great freedom of movement, and overall feels lightweight, smooth, and easy to wear for long periods. The design is super flattering with a clean front, supportive shape, and a cute keyhole detail in the back that adds style without affecting performance. It pairs perfectly with high- waisted leggings and looks sleek from every angle. The fabric is soft, breathable, and does well in the heat. It stays cool, doesn ’ t trap sweat, and the padding stays in place. I love the comfort and the flattering cut the most. I would n't change anything!

5 Lionnel
[ I ’ ve been wearing the Nike Universa Bra for a few weeks, and it ’s quickly become one of my favorites. The fabric is really soft and smooth, it feels great against the skin and keeps me cool and dry, even during sweaty sessions. The fit is snug but comfortable, offering solid support for medium- impact workouts. The overall design feels secure without digging in anywhere. I also love the simple, clean look. It ’s sleek enough to wear on its own with leggings, and it holds up really well after multiple washes without losing its shape or stretch. Overall, the Nike Universa Bra hits that sweet spot between comfort and performance. It ’s perfect for moderate workouts or even all- day wear when you want support without feeling compressed.

5 NikeSwimShirt
[ I usually wear an XL, but for this bra I could ’ ve gone up one size because of my larger chest. Still, I wouldn ’ t say everyone needs to size up, it ’s true to size overall. Even with it being a bit more stretched on me, the fit still kept the girls lifted and supported, which is impressive. The fabric is soft, smooth, and honestly comfortable enough to wear all day. I usually struggle with sports bras rolling up while I ’ m putting them on, but this one slid on easily with no fight at all. It also didn ’ t dig into my shoulders, which is rare for me. The design is gorgeous, especially the color. It looks good and feels good, which is hard to find when you need real support. What I loved most was the combination of comfort and stability. The only thing I would change for myself is choosing the next size up. I ’ m definitely planning to order this bra in every color. It ’s truly worth it.

5 RCPTOSHA
[ The most comfortable sports bra I have owned to this day! When I received the bra it seems like it was really small( I wear a small received a small). However the bra has great stretch and for it to be considered medium compact I really feel like this is a high impact sports bra in my eyes. The dry fit feel in the bra is also a plus. I completed a hot yoga class with the bra and I ’ m usually really itchy in the breast area because of sweat but not with this bra. One thing I really wish is that this bra was adjustable in the shoulders also the opening in the back I wish there was adjustable adjustable strap as well. I love the color I received as well. I have attached pictures of the bra below but couldn ’ t get a good appropriate picture of me wearing the bra! However I need every color and may size up to get rid of the tightness in the back.

5 Nadi
[ This sports bra is amazing! It ’s super comfortable and completely true to size. As a breastfeeding, freshly postpartum mom, I ’ m always worried about fit — but this bra feels good even before pumping or feeding. It gives great support without feeling tight, and it ’s actually really stylish. I ’ m obsessed with the maroon color too — it ’s so cute and flattering. I also love how soft the material is — it has that perfect balance of stretch and structure, so I never feel restricted but still feel held in. Even during movement, everything stays in place without that annoying digging or rolling that a lot of bras tend to do. The straps are smooth and comfortable, and the band lays flat without squeezing or leaving marks. What surprised me most is how confident it makes me feel. Postpartum bodies go through so many changes, and having something that fits well, feels supportive, and still looks good makes such a big difference. I ’ ve worn it for errands, light workouts, and even just around the house, and it ’s been perfect every time. Highly recommend! This one is definitely staying in my rotation.

[ I found this zenvy sports bra very comfortable both when playing pickleball and doing yoga. When being active and all over the court I felt supported with no bounce. The fit was nice in the design as well and never any shoulder strap pull or adjustments. It moves with my body and wicked away any moisture.

5 Tuesday
[ I highly recommend the Nike Zenvy bra for anyone looking to be active in the most supported fashion. I 've worn it while jogging, playing soccer, and working out at the gym and I ca n't say enough about how comfortable it is. It's also super stylish to boot, which has made me not want to cover it up with t- shirts or workout gear to best show it off! The cut- out detail in the back is so cute! I feel completely covered and supported no matter how hard I work out and I plan to seek it out in other colors to make it my main sports bra going forward.

5 Momof4
[ I am loving this Zenvy training bra! It is super lightweight and the fit is very comfortable( the band size isn ’ t too tight which is a bonus). The material is just stretchy enough to help hold form and is buttery soft to the touch. Although there are no cups/padding in this bra, I did feel I had enough support as the straps are wider and hold everything up where it should be! Whether I am doing a workout or just wearing it around the house, it fits my needs and is my new go- to sports bra.

5 NikeZenvyBra
[ Cute and stylish — wear it solo or as a base layer. The Nike Zenvy is THAT good. It provides excellent support for everything — from everyday wear to intense workouts and everything in between — while staying comfortable from morning to night, whether you 're active or lounging. I really like how the back strap, just below the shoulders, distributes pressure from the shoulder straps. Other sports bras I ’ ve owned tended to dig in after a while. The fabric is soft and comfy, yet it effectively wicks moisture away during intense workouts and stays dry long after.

5 JaclynT
[ This bra was great for me. I am smaller chested and the Zenvy Bra is for light support, which is all I really need. I wore it during a yoga class, while shooting arrows at the archery range, and even while gardening( since that sometimes feels like a sport!) The Zenvy bra was quite comfortable, it moved with me and I never felt like I needed to readjust it during my activities. The square cut design for the front and open back was pretty, just need to make sure I 've got sunscreen on my back before going outside with this as a top. The fabric of the bra was soft and comfortable, it did not chafe or feel sticky wearing it out in hot weather or in the gym. Overall, the Zenvy Bra was great for the low impact activities I participate in. The sizing runs a bit on the small side, so unless you want the bra to be very tight fitting, I would suggest going up a size. I 'm typically a medium in all tops, and a large Zenvy bra was what felt best for me without feeling constricting.
