This is the best top I own, athletic wear or otherwise. The cut is SO flattering as it doesnt cut into the part of my back that usually hangs over a sports bra band. I wear it to the gym, to work under my shirts, as a crop top with shorts. After purchasing and trying on the forest v-tank I purchased 2 more colours. I would say it is more of a light to medium support (I am a 36DD cup) and I wouldn't necessarily run in it, but I feel supported enough that I dont have to double up on sports bras which Ive had to do with other brands.
