This top is not see-through and it is a great length not to ride up when you let your arms.

Love these - own several
I LIVE in these tanks. I own several of them and wear them casually, to work, to the gym, etc. They are so flattering. I'm 5'8"', size 12-14, 36DDD and the large fits beautifully. I love that it skims over my shape nicely and isn't cropped. The arm holes are not too big and so there's no gaping and my bra does not show. Please don't ever stop making these!

Soft performance wear

Soft fabric, loose fit. I am usually between a small and medium size for tops. I purchased a small and it fits loose which I prefer for a workout top. I also have a long torso and it is not too short.

Nice colour, fit was off for me
This medium size tank fit a little big, I have an athletic build and the armholes were too deep as well as being too roomy in general (for reference I am 5'8" 134lbs). I would recommend sizing down if you are small busted. The lavender colour is beautiful, I gave the tank to my sister in law who has a larger bust and she loved it!

Great fabric

I was attracted to the lovely lavender color, but am now most impressed by the fabric. It's a stretchy, soft, and non-wrinkling poly blend that is light but thicker than less expensive tanks. It washes and dries looking new. The cut isn't skimpy and the higher neck provides coverage and a nice drape. It is true to size. Size L will accommodate a 36C or shirt size 10-12. If you want a roomier fit, size up.

Nice fit
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Nice fit, can dress up/down. Fabric is warm though - synthetic so doesn't breathe. I'm 5'5, 135lbs and small is great...

Great Essential Tank!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this essential tank to be multi functional and use it for general work outs, climbing, hiking, backpacking, and as a casual everyday shirt. This tank has been great! I have used it for cardio and strength workouts, hiking, and an outdoor climbing trip in the middle of summer, and it has performed great! The fit is comfortable but relaxed, the tank looks nice enough to wear as a casual everyday shirt, the cut is comfortable for all of the activities I have used it for, and the material does a good job wicking sweat, while not becoming soaked or smelly. Overall I really enjoy this tank, and am excited to use it on many adventures in the future!

Too heavy
Armpits are baggy and the fabric is too thick for my intended uses. Example- biking, running.

great fit
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I ordered size small (5'5) and it's a comfortable fit, not too tight, flattering cut. Pink colour is way brighter than what's shown on screen.
