I await your report on the Melbourne! Now that I live in steamy Texas, I'm going to be VERY interested in evaporation rates. Though I just moved from a place where going hypothermic at 12,500 feet was a possiblity, so it was nice to keep dry there, too.

For the record, I haven't had any issues with the metal bits. There's quite a bit of insulation between you and the back hooks, with a nice veloury material directly against the skin. The strap adjustment is actually a hook at the top of the cup which slides into one of the four or so fabric slots on the strap. Again, well padded, with wide straps so they don't dig in.

Another reason I like it is the realistic silhouette (read: no monoboob). The OP wasn't concerned about this, but thought I'd throw it out there for those who are.
