I love this bra! I was looking for something comfortable with support to wear around the house and this bra was the answer for me. I like the racerback and front closure. This bra stays in place and does not ride up. The zipper works fine once you get the hang of the mechanics. You must be sure to zip it all the way up until it locks in place. The zipper does stick out a little under clothes so it is not a great T-shirt bra, however, that is not what I was looking for. I was looking for comfort and support! Great value for the price too!

This bra didn't give any support. I measured myself correctly and then bought a smaller size, and even then it was too big. Karen from Lincoln, NE USA

While this bra offers good support, its construction is uncomfortable and feels "inexpensive". I find the back fabric irritating during a long work out session. The zipper distorted on the first washing.

I purchase front-close bras for the ease of removal after a hard session. This one, the zipper can get sticky so it doesn't slide easily. Won't be buying it again. debra from richmond, ca.

Bought for post breast reduction surgery, however it does not provide enough compression. I think it will be a good bra for stretching, and it is very comfortable. Samantha from Northampton, MA, USA

I purchased this bra for breast reduction recovery and it's been fabulous. ~ Comfortable ~ Supportive ~ Good coverage ~ No "uni-boob" look Will continue wearing these bras for yoga after my recovery is over. Highly recommend this bra! Marla W. from Charottesville, VA USA

I really like how comfortable this sports bra is. I could have gone one size smaller, though. Will definitely order another! Janice from Peninsula, OH USA

I had arm surgery and had challenges with regular bras. This front closure zipper was easy to take on and off with limited use of my right arm and hand. Very comfortable and reasonably priced. I bought it big for comfort but probably didn't need to. One of the only zipper bras I found so I'm very pleased. Alyse from NJ

I think I ordered it too big first of all, but it doesn't have very good support for me either. I wouldn't recommend this one. Deborah from Honolulu,HI

Purchased this bra to wear following shoulder surgery. The position of the zipper was perfect so that I have been able to get dressed without assistance. I did find that the cups run a bit full although I need the 36 more for the width. Will continue to use this bra as it is comfortable and provides enough support for light gym activities like yoga or walking on the treadmill. sandy from staten island ny

It is a good quality bra. The zipper is convenient and comfortable. The only thing that I don't like is the way the back has been designed. The piece on the back is too large and, on a warm summer day, one would like something lighter, leaving more skin free to breath. May be it is a bra more suitable for winter. Malva from New York

This bra is ok for wearing around the house or for someone with smaller breast. I am a 36DD and the bra does not give me the lift or separation that I want. The cups are not very contoured. This bra is very comfortable and soft however, I am not too impressed with the zipper. Once I fight to get my breast inside of the cups then I have to fight to zip the zipper. Maybe the bra is good but not for my breast size. Blue from Atlanta

The zipper is set up for a left-handed person. The bra is very comfortable and I shall probably order more when I need them. Also it is easy to fasten. Joyce from Okawville,IL USA

This was perfect for what I needed...I am a breast cancer survivor and needed a sports bra for the recuperation (reconstruction) period...this was very reasonably priced (unlike most) and did the trick and of course with the zipper in the front was easy to get on! Debbie from Milford NH

Bra is fine except I thought "lightly contoured cups" meant there would be some kind of molded shape built it. Although it is contoured, there are no molded cups or other support - it is all cloth. Fine if that's what you're looking for. I love the concept with the zipper front.

HerRoom Response: The cups on this bra are molded - not contoured. I'm afraid we don't know how you thought they were contour given that our description does not state so. Polly from CA

Great product/good quality jogbra, but wrong size (too big) I returned for exchange to 36B/C. As soon as I receive new size I'll let you know my satisfaction. Thanks for asking. Missy from New York, NY USA

This is a comfortable bra. I would order a size smaller than your normal bra size. I was very impressed with how quickly my order arrived AND how nicely it was wrapped in lavender tissue paper. That was a great touch. Allison from Houston, TX

Extremely comfortable and "flexible" -- moves with my motions . . . does not pull or restrict. Easy to put on. Easy to wash and does not shrink in the dryer. Elizabeth from Scottsdale

VERY IMPRESSED. I INTEND TO PURCHASE 4 MORE. I had spinal surgery several years ago and the zip front helps my back and posture. Please do not discontinue this style. Peg from Irving, Tx USA

Six months ago, I had a double mastectomy with a TRAM flap reconstruction. I have found it uncomfortable to sleep without wearing a bra. This is a great sleep bra, because it is comfortable, and it holds everything in place. Debbie from Alb/NM/USA

I just had breast augmentation surgery and I bought this bra for the support and the front closure. It is much more comfortable than the surgical bras that my doctors office has and it rides low enough on my chest wall that it doesn't even touch my incisions below my breast. I went in for my 1 week check up and the doctor and nurse asked me about my bra and are now looking into recommending it to others. Alethia from Fort Campbell, KY

After a hard upper-body workout, it is painful to pull off the traditional sport bra. The Valmont zip front is an answer to my prayers. Supportive enough for high intensity intervals, absorbs perspiration during challenge weight training, and not painful to remove in the locker room afterward. Now if they would use a slightly smaller -and more discreet zipper. Wondering how it hold up to many machine launderings. deb from Berkeley, CA.

This is the perfect sports bra!! Easy to put on and fits great. I exercise regularly and find myself wearing when I'm just home and working as well... It runs true to size and I love it. Margie from Fresno, CA

For me, this is just a Saturday afternoon bra. It's comfortable, but not very supportive and doesn't separate and define. It's great for when you want a soft bra that doesn't dig or pinch. I'm not having any trouble with the zipper at present. Angela from Wisconsin
