Product Insights
A balconette top that runs small, requiring sizing up for C cups and above, with the largest L fitting 38C/D. Its core promise is customizable support through adjustable straps, a three-position hook back, and removable foam padding for two distinct looks. The main tradeoff is that its polyamide-elastane blend, while ultra-soft with excellent stretch recovery, dries slower and fades faster than polyester, and loses elasticity in chlorinated water within 50–80 hours without immediate rinsing.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Balconette top runs small; size up for C cups+; largest L fits 38C/D.
- Adjustability
- Adjustable straps customize cup height; three-position hook tightens the band.
- Padding
- Removable foam inserts can be taken out; top retains shape with underwire and lining.
- Strap style
- Straps are designed for traditional straight wear and are not specifically convertible to halter or criss-cross styles.
- Cup construction
- Soft underwire cups with removable foam padding; removing the pads creates a less padded shape while the underwire and lining still provide structure.
- Strap adjustment
- Adjustable thin straps prevent gapping and keep underwire seated but are straight-wear only.
- Band adjustment
- Three-position hook back tightens band incrementally without changing cup volume.
- Unpadded support
- The top retains support without the foam pads, offering two distinct fit options.
- Stretch recovery
- Retains 95–98% shape after 50 stretch cycles.
- Color fading
- In chlorinated water, the polyamide fabric fades 15–20% faster than polyester; immediate freshwater rinsing helps slow color loss.
- Dry time
- Dries in 45–60 minutes, slower than polyester alternatives.
- Chlorine resistance
- Loses half its elasticity after 50-80 hours in chlorinated water without rinsing.
- Hand feel
- Fabric is ultra-soft, silky, and cool-to-touch.
- Material
- 92% polyamide/8% elastane delivers 95–98% elastic recovery and a soft feel.
- Fit
- Adjustable straps, three-position hook back, and UK bra size mapping enable a precise fit.
- Versatility
- Removable foam padding allows for two distinct looks: padded or without padding.
- Cleaning
- Rinse in cold water after each use; hand wash with mild detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softeners; dry flat out of direct sunlight.
- Bra size mapping
- Rip Curl's size chart for this top maps XS to 32A, S to 34A/B, M to 36B/C, and L to 38C/D.
