Beyond Yoga Supplex Original Camisole

Customer Reviews

ok stuff

I bought 2 outfits, the pants and tanks because of the raves on how great the fabric was.
The fabric does feel nice on the skin and it definately keeps the sweat marks away, which is great for me as an instructor. But, it doesn't wash well... the fabric fades and piles very VERY quickly which , in my opinion, diminishes it's value for the buck.
The overall fit for both the tank and pants is great, the elastic bands in the tanks however are too tight for me.. I will probably order again though.. perhaps a size up in the tops..

OK, Serves its purpose

The Beyond Yoga support tank provides the support I needed without the pulling on my shoulders from the straps. But, the band around the rib cage is much too tight and makes it difficult to get it over the head and down around my chest. The lenghth is a bit too long. Overall it is ok. I bought 2 different colors and I wear them a lot. I've evern worn them in public, the navy one only. The white one shows through so I only wear at home. I would probably buy another one in black if I can find it available.

Not perfect

This is made from Supplex, which is amazingly cotton like, though form fitting, and stretchy like nylon blends common in workout gear. Supplex is probably like alot of trade names for blends of poly, lycra, spandex, ect. But the feel is really nice, a substantial weight and smooth feel, almost buttery microsuede-ish.
Now for the problemos. One, this original cami is not as good as the straight back, because it has adjustable straps with really tacky and cheap looking plastic findings. Even though I adjusted mine as far as they will go the straps are a bit too tight and the fabric looks like it may break on the straps. The plastic findings are not uncomfortable at least, but I worry they will break and I will be out of an expensive tank top.
I ordered a white one and I could swear it doesn't fit like my others. The waist is stretched out and looks a bit wierd, maybe it's just a lemon.

Overall though, I would reccomend this is you are of short or average height, since the strap issue really bothers me and I assume it's because I am somewhat longer than most women.
It does cover nipples and holds the girls in tight, though that is hardly even an issue for me.

Flattering and Comfortable. Sturdy Fabric, Great Support. Wear them all the time.

I have the camisole in three different colors and will be buying more. I work long hours (12+) sitting at a desk, and bras can get uncomfortable, so I wear these practically everyday under a jacket, a zippered sweatshirt, or an unbuttoned shirt. It's great in yoga classes too. Unlike in some other strappy yoga tops, I don't have to worry about my chest falling out of it in down-dog poses because its straps and fabric offer tight, secure support. Beyond Yoga uses the best fabric. They're super stretchy and thin yet has enough weight to it, so the nipples don't show through. It's soft, sturdy, look and feel great after many washes. I recommend washing them in cold water, gentle cycle, and air-drying them.

Gorgeous, and worth the splurge

I usually look for yoga tops that are on sale at my local yoga studio, and I have quite a few that are nice and fit well, but honestly I might not have purchased them if I'd had to pay full price.

But then I saw this Beyond Yoga at the studio, and decided to try one on.

Wow. First of all, the fabric is a smooth, silky supplex that that feels so nice on your skin. The fit is like your second skin, it is so smooth and sleek. Secondly, the top has adjustable straps to customize the fit. Add to it the fact that it sits nicely just below the hips and does not ride up at all, and I knew I'd found the perfect top. It also is not too low cut which means it provides more modest coverage when doing inverted poses like prasarita paddotonasana and downward dog.

I believe that this model has a racerback top - it is not a traditional strappy camisole. It does not say so in the description, but I believe it is a racerback.

It is the nicest, most comfortable yoga top I own and the one I reach for more and more.

OCTOBER 2008 UPDATE After wearing this top for a year, at least two times per week during yoga, the fit is still snug, the fabric soft, and it has washed well. Well worth the price, even if it is the only top you own.
