I wore the CRB II to bootcamp this morning. I have to say I did like the more open back in terms of cooling. I wore it with a Strap It Like It's Hot Bra underneath so my back was a mess of straps. It's my favorite workout bra so the strap situation is usually messy-looking no matter what tank I wear over it. I often wear tanks with more open backs for workouts so the change in this tank isn't a big deal for me in terms of exposure. As for everything else, I didn't find the performance noticeably different from the CRB I - it's very comfortable and stayed in place nicely. The difference in length wasn't that noticeable to me and I like the slightly higher neckline. The thicker seaming at the back of the neck was a non-starter, I didn't even notice it. I don't know if I'll go on a big collecting binge with these since they're more of an athletic piece rather than a casual one but if a nice print or color comes along I'll probably get it. Anyone try it yet? What did you think?
