    Leaving the US in 5 days!

    For the Ladies

    I train (6 - 10 km) everyday, wearing these tops. I am a 38 DD, 5'2" and 160 lbs...heavy for me! They wash easily, are very light-weight, yet opaque, dry very quickly and hold their shape. They are stretchy enough to provide support. I like the darker ones, because even when you're cold, no...
