Lululemon Bra review

Marathon Bounce Breaker
Here's a review from another blog:
"I tried your "marathon" bra and laughed out loud. Any woman looking at it can tell that it will not provide the requisite support. It is a single piece of material, and only one layer of support. There is no mechanism to lift, or separate, it will necessarily give uniboob, and the only support provided is by means of strapping everything in.
Seriously? This is it?
Compare to your far superior "bounce breaker" which you did not have in my size. According to the site, the "marathon" bra provides maximum support. Really? Just look at the difference. The "bounce breaker" has an inner bra for extra support, mesh panels that separate different parts (and keep the bra from becoming a "two puppies, one bag" bra), and far less annoying straps. If by "support" you mean "covering as much of your chest as possible," then yes, the "marathon" is more supportive. Basically, I have just discovered that while I may admire your style, you and I will never be friends. Sad for me."
A response from a lululemon employee was as follows:
"The season of the marathon & bounce breaker was the first time we'd even launched something in the bra family for higher impact activities than yoga. Needless to say we've learned a few things :) Anyways, all I know is that we've recieved a ton of similar feedback on our bras...everybody became aware quite quickly we needed something with a bit more support and are coming out with some much better designed items for different builds and different activity levels."
