Patagonia Women's Print Kupala Top

February 27, 2012

I love the tie back! super comfortable and adjustable. very flattering. This suit stayed put while playing in the ocean. Just another fabulous Patagonia product!

5'3 115lbs and the small fits perfect. The criss-cross back is very flattering and the strings tie easily. Forgot to purchase the matching bottoms and will have to now. Can't wait to wear it this summer!

Great comfy, sporty swim top!

This swimsuit top is so comfortable and flattering! I wear a 32B/C normally, and the size small fits me perfectly. The criss-cross back looks so sporty and great on a strong, muscular back! It provides the perfect amount of coverage and support for smaller chested women. I plan on buying a second top for next summer, too!

Love the top! I about 5'6" 120# and the small fits perfectly and is great for water skiing or wake boarding! You don't have to worry about it falling off or showing what you don't want it to show! No complaints! I received the item within 3-5 business days.

Awesome top

True to size, comfy fit, stays in place. I wear a 34 A typically, some brands B and liked the fit of the small better than the medium. Already recommending it to everyone~

Not for busty women

I bought this top because other tops just didn't seem to stay on my body when out in the ocean waves. I'm not a surfer, I just wanted a swimsuit that wouldn't cause me to have any accidents. Patagonia seemed to have stylish but durable swimsuits. I ordered the Molera top as well as the Kupala. I loved the style of the Kupala top with the crisscross back and the pattern (I got the black java top and love it!) but i thought it would offer more support than it does. I am a 34D and ordered the large. The cups are not that big and set pretty wide on my chest. I have to constantly be adjusting the cups and the straps so that I don't feel like I'm falling out of it. But when I pull the straps tighter, the cups are pulled upwards. It is better than most swimsuits when in the water, but I still have to be careful that I'm not falling out after every wave. I probably should have ordered an XL, but I am not entirely sure that its the size as much as it is the style of the top that causes it to feel so skimpy. Overall, its a good swim top and very cute. I'm sure it is wonderful for more flat chested women, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone with a bigger chest (the Molera top is MUCH better for that purpose). I wouldn't order it again.

Quality A++

The quality of this swim top is excellent. It stays in place when you are running on the beach, surfing, or just relaxing. It fits true to size. I'm a 36C and I bought the medium which fits perfect! I love the blue/green gradient as well. It looks like the changing colors in the ocean. I ended up buying this in several colors too. Enjoy!

Love It!

This is the best bikini top for a small-chested girl. I wear a 32B, and the XS is perfect. Personally, I hate the feel of a halter top tied behind my neck. This top takes all the pressure off my neck and is extremely comfortable. I'm not a surfer, but I've worn the Kupala swimming, frolicking in some large waves, and water skiing, and no wardrobe malfunctions:) The removable pads did move around after a few wipe-outs on the water skis, so I simply removed them. I have two of these tops now, and I'll likely order one each season, as long as the colors are to my liking. Now, if Patagonia would make a boy-short that covered my bottom, I'd be in paradise.

love this top!

I am a 36B and the medium in this top fit perfectly. I love that it crosses in the back rather than your typical halter top bikini. Regular halter tops hurt my neck after awhile. This one is comfortable and stays in place. I ordered the ombre blue and love the color!

best Patagonia bikini top

I bought the Kupola bikini top this year instead of the classic halter style which I bought last year. It stays in place much better and is more comfortable since there is no tie at the neck. I do not need much support, but I do think that this top would provide adequate support if necessary without looking matronly. It looks much better on and in person than in the picture. I surf and windsurf, and I cannot stop and adjust the bikini top. There is very little chance of "falling out" of this one and it provides enough coverage. I live in bikinis and this one is my new daily style. As for sizing, it is true to size, but this style is very adaptable and forgiving. It is a little hard to tie yourself, but that is a minor inconvenience.

This top is great. I've been searching for a top that is cute but still has some support without looking too matronly. This fit the bill, and I received many compliments on it during my recent vacation. I highly recommend this top!

Best fitting top
May 27, 2011

This is the best fitting bikini top I have ever owned. It is very adjustable and never digs in. I never have to see if it is still in place when I remove my lifejacket. I am a 38 aa-a (big lats due to skiing) and always have trouble with swimsuit tops fitting me, without digging in. I am frequently in the suit all day and comfort is a must!

Great suit!

I have purchased nothing but these suits for several years now. The top stays ON (I am small busted and keeping them on in waves has always been challenging!). It would probably not work for a busty gal, but for me at 34A XS is perfect! It is very comfortable with the criss cross back rather than a halter that tends to cut my neck (and leave goofy tan lines). Pricey, but worth it to me!

Women's Print Kupala Top

Love it! I'm a AA-A and it fits great! So nice to fit into a 2 pc and be able to move in it too! No gaps and no puckering! Will look for this style in the future.

Favorite fit ever!

The Kupala top is my favorite swimsuit ever! I have one from Patagonia that is a similar style from 3 years ago and still wear it. I recently bought 2 other Kupala tops. I am a 34c so I like the size large. It is so comfortable with the crossed straps in the back. It is perfect for an active beach day! The new fabrics are beautiful and very high quality.

Very nice design. I love the color.

The item fits perfectly for me. I bought it in size L and normally wearing size D it covers everthing perfectly and keeps everything perfectly in place. My girlfriends already complimented me for this item.

Love this top!!!

This top stays in place and covers well; at the same time looks cute without revealing too much!

Top moves around too much

The padded triangles are kinda silly since they don't stay put and I'm constantly rearranging my top. Maybe better for larger chested ladies? (I'm more of an A than a B)

Very cute!

I tried this on at the Patagonia store, and it is amazing. I am small-chested (32B), and this top was very flattering. The great thing is that it doesn't tie around the neck but, rather, in the middle of the back. I'm just waiting for Altrec to have more colors in an XS, so I can place an order:)
