I’ve worn the Smartwool PhD Seamless Strappy Bra to yoga, mountain biking, and both the bra and PhD Seamless Bikini to the gym, hiking, and for everyday wear. Thanks to Merino wool, both pieces perform very well at wicking sweat and preventing smell from penetrating the fibers. The bra looks great alone for yoga or with the straps peaking out under a tank for any other activity.
Fit
The bra runs true to size and the bikini bottom runs a size small.

Bottom Line
Both the bra and bikini are very comfortable and have been go-to pieces for me. In fact, on a recent trip to Telluride I packed multiple sport bras and I wore the PhD Seamless Strappy Bra four days in a row because it was the most comfortable and did not smell.
