Calvin Klein Performance Bra Review
The Calvin Klein Performance Bra is a great sports bra for those who want something to wear for medium to low impact exercises. Whether heading out for a walk or doing some yoga, this will be a perfect option to give you the support you need. It can get painful and frustrating when you're trying to exercise, and your breasts bounce around with you. That isn't something that you'll have to worry about when wearing this bra.
The racerback design and thick straps help give you a decent amount of support, so everything stays where it should. Of course, if you are planning on running or doing other higher intensity workouts, then you will need something a little more supportive. That said, this one works great for most women looking for a good bra.
It is super comfortable. The wireless and seamless design help keep you cozy all day long. It is breathable and lightweight. The nylon bra can, and will, absorb your sweat, however. This means that it will get wet and stay wet longer than some other brands. This isn't usually a deal breaker but something worth noting.
Overall, women love the Calvin Klein Performance Bra. The affordable price tag and a long lifespan make it a fantastic investment. Additionally, it comes in many colors and has a fantastic design that women love. Reviewers highly recommend this product if you require a new sports bra.

Comfort
Not only is it comfortable to wear, but it's super easy to put on. It goes on over your head, as it doesn't have a hook and eye closure. However, it is still easy to put on and take off, giving you an all-around pleasant wearing experience.
The wide straps are perfect because they don't hurt your shoulders. The wider the straps, the better, especially if you have larger breasts. It's going to give you added support and comfort. More than just the width of the straps, customers think they are fantastic. They're comfortable and supportive, giving you an all around great feel.
The Calvin Klein Performance Bra doesn't use any underwire, giving it a considerable advantage in the comfort department. There's no need to worry about a pesky wire poking out or digging into you, causing pain or discomfort.
Breathability
The nylon materials offer a decent amount of breathability, allowing air to flow through the fabric to reach your skin easily. The air flow will help cool you down, keeping you feeling fresh and comfortable.
The problem, however, is that there is no moisture control. Unlike other sports apparel that uses polyester, nylon absorbs moisture and stays wet longer. Since you will most likely be wearing this bra while working out, the chances are pretty good that it'll be soaked in sweat.
The wet materials will help cool you down, as it feels colder when it's wet. However, it will not dry quickly as some other bras might. This will, ultimately, cause you discomfort since you're going to be wearing in a damp bra throughout the day. This doesn't deter a lot of women, but it is something that is worth noting.
Versatility
This one is perfect for medium level activities. Some such workouts include spinning, biking, skiing, power walking, hiking, or a low impact aerobics class. If you plan on running a marathon or doing anything with a lot of jumping, you might want to consider a high impact sports bra instead.
Of course, there are far more things you can do while wearing this bar, other than head to the gym. Some women prefer to wear them around the house. Whether you're cleaning the house or doing yard work, this is a comfortable and supportive option. Other customers choose to wear a bra to bed, giving them support while they sleep.
Whatever you choose to do while you're wearing the Calvin Klein Performance Bra, at least you know you'll be comfortable doing it.
Materials
The problem with using nylon, however, instead of polyester, is that it will absorb more moisture, causing your bra to stay wet longer. It is going to be far more comfortable to wear and feel better along your skin, but it just isn't great when you're sweating.
The little bit of spandex that is present in the blend helps give the bra a little bit of a stretch for added comfort. It is just enough to increase the overall comfortability without reducing the overall support.
Support
For the most part, customers are happy with the amount of support they get from the Calvin Klein Performance Bra. Of course, there are some who disagree out there, but their problems with the lack of support generally stem from doing more high impact activities. As long as you stay with medium or light impact workouts, you will be just fine.
Durability
The nylon and spandex blend can hold up quite well over time and will not rip or tear easily. The bra has a bit of a stretch to it, thanks to the spandex, but that isn't going to be an issue. The sports bra can hold it's shaping rather well, so you don't have to worry about it stretching out over time.
It is an overall excellent quality product that will stay with you for the long haul.
Care
The good thing about the Calvin Klein Performance Bra is that it is machine washable. Unlike many other similar products, this one can go right in the wash. It makes keeping it clean and fresh super easy. Some customers would suggest hanging the bra to dry to avoid shrinking. However, it will survive just fine in the dryer if you choose to use one.

This one doesn't use those cups, so there is no need to deal with that.
The Calvin Klein Performance Bra has a reversible design, essentially giving you two bras in one. Each bra can flip inside out to provide you with a different color. However, some customers mentioned that if you reverse the bra, there is a large tag on the inside (now the outside) that doesn't look that great. Since you generally wear the bra under your clothing, it is usually a non-issue.
