    I know this isn't a yoga top exactly, but I love my Sugoi Fizz Tank. It hits right at the hip but doesn't cover my butt and has a high neck and a shelf bra. Very comfy. Also it doesn't bunch up around my waist when I run or walk. Excellent tank.
    I hate Lululemon with the strength of a thousand suns. Well, maybe not that much, but I do not like them. I made the mistake of buying a couple of tops in Chicago last March. They looked okay in the dimly lit fitting room, but then I got them home. They're really long for one. Plus, the internal shelf bra is really narrow so that it barely covers my size 34A chest. The fabric makes me look like I'm 30 pounds overweight (which I'm not). The fabric clings to every bump and crevice of my body. I tried them on again last night with the hope that maybe they had magically transformed themselves. But no; they're awful.

    I do like Sugoi as a general rule, so I'll take a look at the Fizz.

    I'll be honest, I've never owned anything lululemon. My co-teacher likes it for yoga though, so I thought I'd pass it along. But seriously the fizzzzz tank. So great. I've really put mine through the mill too and it's still in great shape!

    I tried another of their tops on when my yoga studio used to carry them. At the time, I was easily a size 2. I tried on a small if memory serves. It was so tight that I got sort of stuck in it. It took every once of upper body strength I had to get it off.

    I'm sure they must work for others because there's a brick and mortar shop in Chicago on every third block. Me, not so much. I do appreciate the suggestion though!

    Lol I have an easy explanation for that! From teaching 8th grade girls I can safely say that they are a fairly significant part of their demographic. Teensy sizing for twiggy (and affluent) junior high girls.

    I feel the same way about Lululemon. Their stuff just doesn't fit right on me.

    Sweet! Terry just introduced a new halter top called the Bella. The catalog says that it's a bit longer than the Euro halter. Plus, the back is more bare than the Euro. I'm pretty sure I won't like that for cycling, but it'll be great for yoga. Unfortunately, it looks like they plan to discontinue the Euro top though. Buy them while they last.

    Bah, I don't want longer. I have enough trouble finding tops that don't come down to my hips and stop at my most unflattering feature.
    But, I might buy one, to see how I like it for gym stuff. I agree, too bare for riding. Thankfully, I have 3 Eurohalters, so I guess they have to last.
