I thought with all the movement to have clothes for all bodies, this bra would have fit differently than my last attempt years and years ago. Nope. The band was just fine. The cup?

Huge fan of this bra - she's super cute, comfy, and I've had no issues with slippage while bouldering even though the cut is on the low side. I'm an a/b cup but have pecs and a wide back from climbing and there is a little bit of lat squeeze but not enough to be a bother. Size small in black fit tts for me.
Im a 40/42 B (not a very full B either) and thought this would be a great lounging bra. So the bra fits around my run cage no problem but the whole cup situation is weird. My breasts are barely covered and they seem to risk falling out
The straps are weirdly tight but don't provide any support. After about an hour of wear I could feel the who... Read Morele bra riding up and the bra pads moving around. I had to readjust many times. Pass on this bra unless you're absolutely flat. No clue how this would hold anyone up if my itty bitty commitee was already too much for it. Try the Barely Bra instead.

Functional Bra
I really like this bra, it's comfortable, has light padding, and adjustable straps. I'm usually a medium in tops (5'8", 130 lbs, A cup), but the size chart said I was a Small so I went for it! But I kinda wish I'd gone up to a Medium, I feel like it would've fit better. Still a great bra that I'll use for a long t... Read Moreime!
Great for everyday wear. Very comfy. I chose an XS but could definitely wear a small, just needed the smallest cup size. Will definitely order more once this one tires out.
I gave this bra 5 stars although it is not the bra for me. I think it is better designed for a more slender or athletic body type, that of which I am not. I will keep it for lounging or working outside in the summertime though and would still recommend it for those with a slimmer body.
Well made, cups and band are nice and comfortable, but the little metal sliders for adjusting the straps are scratchy on my back. I am old so maybe my skin is just more sensitive. But if you too are tactile-sensitive, be aware.

This bra is perfect for
This bra is perfect for me since I am normally a 38 AA and only need coverage and not support. The large size might have worked as well but I did not want the torso to be too tight. Very comfortable.
I thought that I could wear this to work since it has the removable cup pads, but they had a very odd shape. I took them out and will wear it more casually. I bought an XL and was surprised how small it is. I dont have a large chest, but I feel like I hardly fit into it. Not for women with large chests.

Exactly what I wanted
I hate underwires, but who likes them? I wanted support without feeling like I was being strangled. This bra is perfect. I hike in it, work in it, climb in it, and couldnt be happier. I will be ordering more!!
I like that this bra does not irritate my skin as so many other bras do. My one concern is that the bra feels overly warm because the bra band is so wide.
My small, AA-A cup size and broad back is difficult to fit, but the Everyday Bra is truly the most comfortable, form fitting bra I've ever owned. I purchased one about two years ago at RIE, and soon afterward, ordered two more. It's the only style I've been wearing ever since. Recently, I was distressed to see that the item is being ... Read Morediscontinued, so I ordered three more. PLEASE, PLEASE reconsider carrying the Everyday bra. Surely, I'm not the only true fan.
As a an active broad shouldered, and small-breasted older woman, these bras are comfy for all day wear w/or w/o the removable padding. I bought one, liked it, so I bought two more. I rated a four because the pads are not easy to put in or out and the strap adjustment can irritate my back after long wearings. Also the lower band feels a tiny bit sho... Read Morert and could fit under my breasts a little better, but these are way better than I have experienced in the past!
I purchased this bra for a causal, everyday comfortable bra and not for any sort of activity. This bra is very small coverage area for large busts (I'm a 36D) and it barely covered my breast and offered no support. I was aware it wouldn't have a large amount of support but with it barely covering my breasts at all it wasn't even enou... Read Moregh coverage/support to lounge in. That being said it seemed very well made, thick material and was very soft, but definitely seems intended for smaller chested people.
Super disappointed in this bra. I was looking for the Patagonia bra that I bought a long time ago, and this one is completely different. The material is itchy, the padding is ridiculous, and it just feels like a cheap bad bra that any terrible company (not Patagonia) would make.

Not flat
Shockingly this un-enhanced product does not leave me flat. Design simplicity yet maintains esthetics.
This is a great design, with enough support to feel like a real bra but much more comfortable than most. I love that it doesn't gouge the front of my armpits like most bras! My only issue: What is with those pads? They migrate all over the place--what an inconvenient pain in the neck! Just commit, Patagonia--attach those suckers properly so I ... Read Morecan spend my time in more interesting ways than trying to cram them back into place!
This is now the only bra I will buy. I have a long torso and need the adjustable straps. The fit is perfect. No tugging. I'm 5 foot 2, 105 lbs and the small works. The fabric is soft and breathable.
I love these bras. However I have found, over the years the straps are getting skinnier. I find a bit wider strap is so much more comfortable! Thank you.
This is the only bra that fits me properly (32A) while being so comfortable that I can fall asleep in it. So many bras are irritating, the padding creates a weird shape, or are just too bulky, overall. This is perfection for us small-chested gals who just want something minimalist that works and also looks and feels invisible. The light padding loo... Read Moreks natural. I can wear it hiking, doing yoga and PT exercises, to work, or just for everyday lounging. The material is odor-resistant, and moisture-wicking, as well. Please never stop making this bra!
I cannot overstate how much I love this bra for daily wear. My shoulders are narrow and the straps never fall off the way they do with other bras. It never digs in or feels uncomfortable. The removeable cups are great, though they sometimes bunch a little bit when putting the bra on. I first bought a Barely Everyday bra in 2020 and recently purchas... Read Moreed two more. The initial bra has held up to almost daily wear for two years. It stretched out somewhat, but I still feel supported while walking and lounging (no jogging in this one). It is not visible under most of my clothing, except some tank tops. My normal bra size is 32D or 34B and the small Barely bra fits me snugly, with the straps fully extended. The bra I bought in 2020 was constructed a little differently from the newest ones, the newer ones are a bit smaller (because they are brand new) but still fit me well. It seems like the band has gotten a little thicker in the newer version, which would keep you from falling out of the bottom, though I never had that issue, even in my stretched out bra. I will never buy any other bra - this is simply the best!
Ditched the underwire and clasp and never looked back. Exceptional comfort with the perfect amount of support. Mind you, I am not exactly pushing the load limits so keep that in mind.
I'm a 34C in regular bras, and usually wear small tops in Patagonia products. M is perfect.
This is the most comfortable bra with just enough support for my business casual office, and normal life.
I really like this bra and have purchased at least 5 of them in the last few years. I love the fit and how stretchy it is. It's flattering as well and can be worn as a daily bra since it has a low-enough cut for most tops and [removable] padding for coverage. I do wish the padding was sewn-in so it doesn't move around or fall out, but sin... Read Morece it's not, I've taken on the trivial task of sewing the padding in myself.
The only problem is that the metal hardware used gets rusty (and develops a patina lol) and breaks eventually. I noticed it when it scratched my back, but nothing major. I eventually removed it and just sewed the straps into a reasonable place. I primarily wear it to work out in so yes, it does get wet from sweat, which is probably what leads to the rust. I love the brand and the quality of their products, but I do wish they would figure out the hardware issue. Maybe metal hardware that isn't prone to rust?
Thank you for this feedback, Karen. We haven't been hearing about these problems with the hardware, but we will share these notes with our product designers.

Comfy Low Impact Bra
I purchased this bra 10 years ago and its help up beautifully. I wish this version had the same v shape in the front which makes for a nicer cleavage. If you wear a v-shape T-Shirt, the bra shows. So far so good however on comfort. Would highly recommend.
This fits so perfectly that I completely forget it's there! It's my new favorite "everyday" bra and is perfect for transitioning from work to walking, yoga, or other light exercise. The fast-drying and HeiQ® technologies keep it fresh and wearable for days. Will buy another in a different color asap.
The bra looked really nice in the pictures. Nd description; however the bra has padding which was not mentioned and when you take the padding out the bra has extra fabric which wrinkles. The band below the bra is wide and not very comfortable.
We appreciate your feedback and we're sorry to hear this bra has been such a disappointment. We welcome you to return it under our [Ironclad Guarantee](https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/Ironclad-Guarantee) and we'll reach out to you by email to follow up on that. Thanks so much for your review, Gloria!

Comfy, but..
I really wish the older style would come back. The cut is like a classic sports bra which limits its versatility. I expected to be able to use it as a daily bra, but its too high cut in front. Bring back the true V cut!
We appreciate your feedback on the design and function and will be sure that our design team hears you. Please don't hesitate to return it, and reach out to us if you'd like any [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) with that!
Although this little bra is a bit like putting on a sling shot, once it is in place, it is perfect for my not-large-bust. I especially like the black model: it is adjustable, firmly in place, and the most comfortable I have found--in years of searching.

Super Comfy
This is my favorite bra by far. I really like how it has the fit and feel of a sports bra but the straps of a regular bra. This is great for people that dont like to wear regular bras but have trouble with the straps of sports bras showing
I had breast cancer years ago and so careful not to overheat with padding or heavy material . The everyday bras are all I wear. Both models. The adjustable strap is great for me. They tend to run wide for my narrow frame, but I can wear them for several years before they fail. Please dont widen the band!
This bra is my favorite bra ever! I'm 5 feet and wear a 36b bra. The everyday bra fits fits me perfectly. I love that the pads in the bra aren't too big and bulky.

Tried this on in store. Loved the fit and feel of size Medium. Especially impressed by the shape, feel and size of the cup inserts. BUT on first wearing, doing normal activities, the front slid up, so half of my breast was under instead of inside the bra. Uncomfortable and ugly.

Soft material, but I had to return
I bought the black and taupe; I was so excited to wear them, until I didthe straps need some work Patagonia! I liked the idea of the straps being thin & adjustable, but those little buckles left me red & irritated on both sides, they rub so bad and the thin straps roll, I tried everything I could think of, but had to send back.
Hey Codruta, thank you for providing us with this feedback. We're sorry to hear that the adjustable straps were irritating and we're glad you sent it back. If you're still in the market for a similar bra, we recommend checking out the [Women's Active Mesh Bra](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-active-mesh-sports-bra/32107.html?dwvar_32107_color=SSWA&cgid=root). It has a similar feel but does not have adjustable straps.
April 11, 2022
Comfortable and not too hot.
A nice, lightweight bra with enough support for jogging.
I bought this in an XL thinking that the cup size would run along the same as other bralettes I have worn. Nope, this only could be worn by someone with an A cup maybe a B but that's pushing it. I love all my other Patagonia products but this was super disappointing. There was also dirt on it when I got it.
Hi Mariah, we're so sorry that the fit on the Barely Everyday Bra wasn't what you were looking for. We recommend taking a look at our [Women's Switchback Sports Bra](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html). It still has slim straps but gives a bit more coverage.
March 15, 2022
Comfy!
I've been eyeing this bra for awhile and finally snagged one on sale - it is very comfortable and is great for all day casual wear. I'm a 34A and the small fits well, I would consider trying on a medium if I was in the store but it is still quite comfortable and true to size.
I liked this bra so well I have it in 3 colors now. I went with the small based on their measurements and it works perfect for me. What I like: straps are in traditional places for a bra (so it doesn't show with boat neck tops) and the bra can go through the dryer or just quick dry.
The style is super cute but once you get it on the padding in the cups is all over the place.
A clasp on the back would prevent this. I am 5'7" small frame and the straps are too short.
We're sorry that this bra has been a disappointment. We welcome you to return it under our [Ironclad Guarantee](https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/Ironclad-Guarantee). Thank you for your feedback, Lauren!

Best Everyday Bra
Just like its description, this is the best everyday bra. I liked it so much I bought one for my daughter-in-law. She loves it too.
I bought this bra ( barely everyday) hoping it would be as good as the barely bra. It is not. Even though I ordered the same size. The fit is slightly more snug and it binds a bit under the arms. I will stick with the barely bra for all future orders
Recently underwent breast reduction surgery back down to size A cup. To preserve the beautiful shape of the mound, I wear this bra 24/7 and will from this day forward. The name fits the bra perfectly. It is barely there. Yet it offers just the right amount of compression to keep the breast shape from here on out. Whether you are 20 or 60, if you ar...

I've enjoyed the barely bras exclusively for a few years now, but I'm having a terrible time with the black one I purchased.

Very comfortable
This bra is aptly named as an everyday bra, and I do in fact wear one of these pretty much everyday. My only complaint is that the light purple one is wearing out rather quickly (getting pilly and sort of stretched out--even with my very small chest). For whatever reason, the black one is holding up very well.
Hello Tianna! Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We're happy to hear that you've been getting so much use out of the bras. With that said, we're sorry to hear that the purple one is pilling so badly. Pilling can occur and it won't effect the performance of the bra. We do understand that it can be a bit unsighlty so in that case we'd suggest using a sweater stone to remove the pills. If that doesn't help you're always welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) under warranty.

A bra that fits
I struggle finding bras which fit; I am definitely a AA if not a AAA cup. This is a nice snug fit. I had ordered a small but felt it was too small and tight around my ribcage.

I have the other Barely There bra and prefer it - this for even smaller chests and seemed to have a looser band even though I bought the recommended size. Still a nice bra and well made and wished it had worked for me as the fabric worked well under white clothing.
Got my first one from Title Nine and loved the fit and comfort. Had to order another from Patagonia after Title Nine stopped selling it. Now I know why.

Great bra for some extra coverage
I'm a 34 B/C depending on the brand and this fits me perfectly. I've worn it now for a few months and it's washed well too. Its perfect for relaxed days where you don't plan to go heavy on the activity.
The bra is well made, comfortable but the band is a bit larger than expected while the cups are sized ok slightly smaller than expected. This makes for an odd fitting bra, and very weak support. I'm 34 B not big chested at all, and I wouldnt wear this bra to go hiking. I'm keeping it for around the house.
Thanks for your feedback on the strap sizing Jenny. You may prefer our [Women's Barely Bra](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-barely-bra/32353.html) as it's got wider straps.

Super comfy
I can wear the everyday bra literally every day, no matter what is on my agenda -- work, yoga, hike, dogwalking...whatever.
This bra is very comfortable, I forget I have it on sometimes. The only two things I would change are: 1) a lighter color for pale white girls and 2) the seam on the front at the top across the chest is quite raised and shows through all my tops. It looks like I am wearing a tank top under my shirts because I have this horizontal line. I so wish th... Read Moreis bra had better constructions there so it appeared seamless with no lines.

Also, can we please have a bra that clasps in front? I just hate having to pull things over my head.
This is great for the minimalist. It is very comfortable. My complaint is that the pads do not fit right. I suppose I will have to cut them down to size.
I purchased this bra to replace a very old sports bra, by another manufacturer, that was my all time favorite (and is no longer made). It was extremely comfortable; it felt like I wasnt wearing a bra and but offered sufficient support and coverage.

-the top part of the cups come down lower and leave a visible line under my clothing
-the bra flattens my B-cup chest (Im someone thats more concerned with comfort vs. appearance, so this is a trade off that works for me)
Another issue I have is that I hate removable pads (my old bra also had these). If youre someone like me that always uses them, its really a hassle reloading them each time you wash the bra.
This bra works okay for me but Im still searching for my perfect replacement.

The cut on this bra doesn't work for me. It rides up even after extending the straps all the way and the thick seam across the top is unsightly and shows through most shirts.
I love this bralette, but the sizing seems a little off. Usually I can wear a small without a problem, but this small was quite snug so I tried a medium. The M was sooo much bigger, I was surprised.

Comfortable and great fit
These are the only bras I wear. Super comfortable and works great for me since I am smaller chested. My only issue is that some of the stitching has become loose along the seams. But I still love these bras and wear them everyday.
This bra is so comfortable and perfect for me as I have a small cup size and do not need a lot of support. It is handy that the pads can be removed from the bra when washing it which maintains its proper shape. I would buy this product again!
So comfortable. I literally forget I have it on. I'm 34B and small fits exactly right. Stays in place. Breathable. Recycled. The pads are perfect for modesty, but not too too thick. I leave the pads in and wash in a garment bag, have only had to readjust twice. I will be ordering more!

Based on the other reviews I decide to go for medium even though the chart suggested for me to be a small - I think I could actually run in us but its prob gonna be my everyday casual bra since I havent worn under wire in years. I did have to extend the straps to the longest length for it to ... Read Morefit comfortably over my shoulders.
Great Bra! Super comfortable, looks nice with sporty clothes as well as a silk shirt. Don't like fussing with removeable pads so I hand wash to save the trouble. Would have given it 5 stars but for the removeable pads
I wear this pretty much anytime I do anything. It feels like its not really there so good job Patagonia!!
Doesnt offer a ton of support so I dont recommended if youre heavy chested. But if you need a light fit for a smaller boob this is your bra!
Hey Mary, we're so sorry to hear that the Barely Everyday Bra didn't work out for you. You may want to consider an option with more support, such as the [Switchback Sports Bra](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-switchback-sports-bra/32095.html?dwvar_32095_color=TFBA&cgid=root). These tend to stay in place better. We hope to not disappoint you in the future!

Do not buy if you have larger than a B cup
This bra runs extremely small. I laughed when I opened. I am a size 34DD and usually wear a large sports bra. This whole bra is like the cup of a normal large bra.
Hi Amy, thanks for that helpful insight. We are sorry to hear that this didn't work out. This is definitely one of our more minimal coverage bras and please feel free to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it back to us. You may consider checking out our Active Mesh Bra or our Wild Trails Sports Bra as these both will have much more coverage and support.

Perfect
I'm a yoga teacher. I love this bra. Please keep selling it. It's the only bra I ever want to wear!
My size for a bra is normally 34 C. I ordered the Med. everyday bra as recommended by Patagonia. There isn't enough room for a C cup size in the fabric so the elastic is not underneath my breasts. It has not been a successful purchase for me.
We are so sorry to hear that the sizing was off on this. We appreciate your comments on the fit as it is helpful for our design team. If you haven't already, we'd suggest [sending](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) that back to us.

Comfort is key
This is a comfortable bra for everyday, easy to slip into, and then forget. I dont want a lot of structure, or a bra that moves around, begging for adjusting. The removable pads prevent headlights, another requirement for me.
I wanted to find a bra that I could wear all day and not fantasize about taking it off at the end of the day. I wasn't looking for support that your might find in a typical sports bra, but what makes this bra perfect for me, is that I don't regret wearing it if I end up doing something active. I wouldn't put this on to go for a run, ... Read Morebut I would be fine if my afternoon walk turned into a run (which has happened on occasion...sometimes it's just so fun to be out!).
I typically wear 34 B/C bras, and went with a medium - I typically wear a S/XS in Patagonia clothing, but am finally realizing that in the "snug clothing" category S is too tight around my ribcage - breathing is pretty sweet, and it might be more fun if I stop making it painful.
I love the fit of this bra. Because of the stretchiness, it fits with no gaps or poofs. It stays in place without putting gouges in my chest. The straps are comfortable and stay on my shoulders. The padded inserts occasionally need adjusting, but that's pretty easy to do. The only improvement I would suggest is printing info directly on bra ra... Read Morether than having a tag.
So, in the most positive voice, this bra was so undersized. Needing to have a large band, this bra did not increase the cup size at all. I felt like I had totally missed something. I even used the sizing chart to confirm C/D cup size associated with the XL sized bra.
We're so sorry this didn't work out and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll be sure to pass the word to the appropriate teams. If you haven't already, you're welcome to make a return [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Barely bra but its enough!
I have several of these in different colors and I wear them backpacking. Theyre very comfortable and dont weigh much.
I have had a hard time finding a comfortable bra for every day wear so I thought I would give this one a go. It is working out very well. One of the best I have found on the market so far.
This is really comfortable and soft! It is slightly small, but not enough to need to return it. Glad I tried this style! I had tried a slightly different bra from Patagonia in the past and did not like it, but this one is much better.
It's pretty, but that's about all. I got the medium, and the cups seem really small, and I'm by no means well endowed! Also, it doesn't stay put at all! If I so much as lift my arms up, it pops right up, to the point I feel like I'm pulling it down all day! So unless your plan is to not move all day while wearing it, I woul... Read Moredn't recommend it.
We're really sorry to hear that the Barely Everyday Bra isn't working out for you. If you haven't already feel free to make a return so we can get you credit to put towards another bra. We'd recommend checking out the [Women's Active Mesh Bra](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-active-mesh-sports-bra/32107.html?dwvar_32107_color=SSBY&cgid=root). It has a similar feel, but is better suited for active days.

Runs small and is itchy
I am typically an a-b bra size and find this to be small (I am 5'5 and 135 for reference). Also the openings where you can remove the padding are super itchy and I find I cannot wear this for any length of time.
Hello Michelle, Thank you for sharing your experience with the fit. We are sorry that the sizing and seam issue have caused any discomfort. You are certainly welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) the bra at your convenience.

a good every day bra
I love this bra for every day use. I like how it fits and makes me feel. I wouldn't wear this while exercising because I don't think it would give me the right coverage, even though I am smaller chested. Excited to buy more!
Im a 34B and ordered a Medium. I wanted to love it and have it be my new go-to bra. The band is comfortable, not too tight or loose. Love the spaghetti straps for wearing with work clothes. I wish that the front panel had more coverage. I feel like Im always tugging on the top to keep everything covered, but then the band on the bottom rides up to ... Read Morehigh. It would be fixed with more coverage on the front panel. But overall, great for staying comfy while working from home at my desk and then going to run errands and go for a walk, all without having to change bras.
This is now the only bra I wear. It's a super comfortable, it doesn't feel too tight or too loose. I love the design and the colors are great. The only thing to keep in mind is that the cups are removable, like a swimsuit. I let them air dry after washing and haven't had a problem. They keep their shape and have little slits on the s... Read Moreide so it's easy to move them to their proper place. I would totally recommend this bra! I love it.
I got this bra in both black and the lighter, beige color. I was planning on wearing it casually around the house, and if I felt there was enough support, for some light exercise. When I got them and tried them on, they didn't fit as well as I hoped for, and I didn't find them particularly flattering. My bra size is 34B, but the correspon... Read Moreding size small seemed a tad bit *too* small and not quite as supportive as I hoped for. Still, I tried wearing the black one for a day around the house. The comfort was OK at first, but by the end of the day, the back of the straps at the seams and adjustment pieces were irritating my skin, and I couldn't wait to get it off. I also wore the beige one for a day, and it didn't bother me as muchmaybe it happened to be cut just a tiny bit larger? If I can, I might try to return the black one and keep the beige one, provided I don't experience the same irritation as the black one.
At the same time I also ordered the Switchback bra, and I LOVE it. It's a different kind of bra, of course. Much more oriented towards sports and high impact activity, so it has a ton more support than the Barely Everyday bra. I'll be leaving a very positive review for that one!
Perfect comfort - it was easy to forget I was wearing it. Cups run a little small. Lovely color and so happy its certified fair trade. The only daily bra that I can wear to work that is fair trade certified that Ive found available. Keep it up Patagonia Team! You rock.
I bought this bra, thinking it would be comfortable to wear without a metal under, but it is too small and the straps are too thin and it hurts my shoulders. Even though I purchased the XL size, it is still not a good fit. I wish you had more sizes for large women.
I've struggled with bras for year as I have wide shoulders. Every one I have purchased in the past, up until now, have caused back problems and were just uncomfortable all around. This is by far the most comfortable I have ever purchased. It's amazing for any kind of activity or lounging and completely worth the price. I tend to be cheap ... Read Morewhen it comes to clothes but Patagonia sports bras and underwear are worth every penny. I'll say the same for all other clothing I have purchased from them. My only complaint is, as green as they are, that the shipping material is not more
eco-friendly (plastic-free.) That's the only thing I'd like to see being improved. Apart from that, their creations have never disappointed me.
Very comfortable and true to size; however, I do wish it had a little more coverage like the regular every day bra. The inserts are much smaller and get folded under more easily when taking on and off which is a little annoying but once it's on, it's fine. I have only worn this for casual wear but I don't think it would be supportive... Read More enough for an activity like running.
This is the most silly bra Ive ever purchased. No support, runs very small. Even for lounging around the house it has no purpose. The fabric is soft so I guess thats nice.
Found it on sale so it was a practical purchase for me and ended up being very happy with it having never bought this style before. Love the color too.
I finally went all in and decided to treat myself to a nice quality sports bra. It's supportive, extremely comfortable and of great quality. I hope to order more in the future. Thank you Patagonia. I love your products and what you stand for.
I purchased the rust color and its beautiful, but felt a little too snug. I am usually a Med/Large so I ordered large but perhaps I should have sized up.
This bra is comfy and provides the coverage and support I need for everyday wear as well as my cycling classes. I bought one originally and went back and bought it in all the colors. I absolutely love them!
I love this bra. I use it everyday for casual wear. I can wear it to work, and also hike and do yoga in them. I like the fit and the small fits me perfectly. I am between an A and B cup in cup bras. I like that the straps are adjustable. It is comfy and looks good underneath shirts. I would def recommend to friends.
Not as supportive as the Barely Sports Bra, but still good support for daily tasks or low-impact activities. Fits pretty true to size and so far the fabric is holding up well after a few months of pretty regular wear. Stretches a ton and is so comfortable you might forget you're wearing it
I ordered these to replace some eight year old Barely bras. I don't like the fit of the new model (the straps are too short and the double strap in the front feels too restrictive), so I was hoping these would be my new go-to. Unfortunately they're not. I don't see any mention in the description of these being only for A cups or smal... Read Moreler, but Patagonia should really include that. I'm a B cup on one side and A/B on the other, and there's not nearly enough material for me. The band that looks like it should sit around the rib cage rides up so much that it ends up just below my nipples, and if it stretched out at all my boobs would be falling out the bottom. Also, I lengthened the straps as far as they would go (and I'm not that tall - 5'4"), and they were still digging into my shoulders a little. I definitely got the right size - the chest band fits fairly loosely. There's just not room for much, and given the shortness of the shoulder straps, I sort of felt like I was trying on a bra made for a 10 year old. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because if these issues were addressed, it feels like it would be as comfortable as the old Barely bra. In general I've been disappointed with Patagonia changing up styles so frequently, and overall the designs seem to be less functional and comfortable than in the past. Not sure what's up with that, but please stop trying to fix what isn't broken.
Hello Skye, thanks so much for sharing your detailed review with us. We understand how disappointing not finding the right bra is. Our designs are constantly being revised and customer's feedback is one of the contributing factors to these changes, so we truly appreciate your input on this. We hope that we won't disappoint you in the future. Please don't hesitate to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) this bra if you were looking to do so but haven't already.

Love the color and lightweight feeling
I use this for more static activities like day-to-day wear, sport climbing and yoga. The goods are more exposed than in other bras, so I probably wouldn't run in these. However, I really liked the nude color against my skin and how invisible this feels on.
I like the fit and feel of this bra. I like that it drys quickly and always smells fresh. I read the reviews before buying and most were saying that it ran small so size up. I bought the medium because of that and although it does fit I feel that it is a bit loose around my torso. If I buy another, I will choose a small. My bra size is 32 D or 34 C... Read More
After a year of only wearing nursing tanks, I couldn't go back to the restriction of an underwire bra. I have other Patagonia sports bras for casual wear, but didn't have something that would work with work attire. Then came this Barely Everyday Bra and it is exactly what I was looking for. A bit of padding, gentle support, and spaghetti ... Read Morestring straps. It's perfect for under every outfit- even dresses! 10/10 would buy again...in every color..if income wasn't a restriction.
This is my second Barely Bra and I'm in love! I'm fairly small chested, so I don't need a lot of support. That being said, I also like how the bra provides shape with the modesty pads. I've spent years being flattened in sports bras just because I never fit into bras with more defined cups or wires. This bra is the perfect blend... Read More of comfort without flattening.
The only critique I have, and this goes for everything I've ordered from Patagonia in the last few years, is the excessive long white tag sewn into the steams. In the bra and underwear, I can usually cut it out without creating a hole, but it's risky. Any chance you can find another method of tagging that can easily be removed without risk of damaging the clothes? This would be especially helpful in items that are worn close to the skin - underwear, bras, base-layers, t-shirts, etc.
I continue to appreciate Patagonia's commitment to supporting sustainable environmental practices through their products - clothes and food. Keep up the amazing work!
I love Patagonia bras, but this one was extremely small. I ordered an XL which I normally do for my chest size (40C) and the girls keep popping out. It's title "barely" I suppose is accurate in that regard.
Thank you for the feedback on this and we're sorry to hear that the fit didn't work out for you. Please feel free to send this one back to us and we'd suggest taking a look at our [Active Mesh Bra](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-active-mesh-sports-bra/32107.html?dwvar_32107_color=SSBY) because it's more full coverage.

Natural and comfy
Super comfy bra. I like that the padding inserts are minimal and while they provide a little extra coverage, they still feel natural.
I wanted a bra that is easy to put on, and breathable, with enough support for hiking, biking and general activities. I bought one and liked it enough that I immediately ordered another. I pulled out the padded pieces, for extra ventilation.
I wore my bra on a six day backpacking trip, and it fit the bill. It was cool and dried quickly. I wear it ... Read Moreas a bathing suit top under my surf shirt when I paddle board.
The bra was not a good "fit" for me due to I have to wear breast inserts that were too pig for the insert pocket of these bras. It was also not a lot of support, if that's what you're looking for. It is quite light and airy, but no support per se.

I bought a few of these everyday bras last year when I got pregnant. I knew they would be a great fit for me and the fluctuating size I would be facing after birth.

Hi Victoria, we appreciate you taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the way the bras have started to wear out after time.

True to its name
I forget Im wearing it, nothing pinches, pulls, or indents. Perfectly sits in between a sports bra & regular bra & could definitely wear it as a swim top as the wide band around the bottom really helps keep it in place. I am a 34a+ :(pandemic pounds) and the M fits great.
Unfortunately I had to return this one. The cups were tiny. I even tried a medium and it was too small as well. This would be great for A and small B chests. I am a 32C or 34B and no go for me. The large wouldve been too big in the band.
I would totally recommend this bra to a friend who has a smaller bust than I do (I am 32 D). I would normally buy an L for my bust size, but I bought the XL size because it was the only one left in the sale. The XL was a little bit big on me (circumference-wise) and still could not fully contain my boobs. I wear it around the house but I don't... Read More think it would support me through any physical activity. Very comfortable material though! I'd suggest a different style
I am about 53 tall and weigh about 110 lbs. I typically wear a size 36 A bra. I was surprised when this one was tight across the bottom band. Also, I had to let the straps out as far as they would go to be comfortable across my shoulders.
If it were a perfect fit it would be my favorite bra ever.
I love the looks, love the idea of it, but its just... Read More enough too snug in the straps and lower band to keep it from being a perfect fit.

I love the looks of the bra and wish it fit me better. Th medium I ordered is fine in the cup but the lower band is uncomfortably tight. I even tried to stretch it out a little. That helped but it is still too tight to be perfect.
