Good workout bra for low-impact
934530
Now that I'm losing weight and doing more intense exercises, it doesn't provide as much support as I need. Difficult to get into, but once I'm in it, its comfortable. Jumping/running are OK but I need a bra that's adjustable so I can tighten and loosen as needed.

I love this sports bra because it's a few inches longer than your standard sports bra, so it can double as a crop top if you want.  I have pretty small boobs, so they don't require a ton of support.  This bra does not supply a lot of support, so I wouldn't recommend it past a C cup.  It's great for yoga, spinning and other low impact activities.  I haven't tried it running, but not sure it would do so well... would recommend something a little more supportive if that is what your goal is.

Blessed or cursed, I have a large bust and finding a decent sports bra is really hard. I have tried Enell and Royce but the Shock Absorber is the best. Enell is okay I think if you are about the same width all the way around, which for someone with a small underbust (32) and a small over bust (36) and a 42 inch bust, I always felt too restricted in Enell, like I couldn't breathe. And Royce were good while they lasted, but the material they were made of was more cottony and less technical, so I found that they would quickly lose their security and that I'd be bouncing while running on a couple months after purchase.

Not with the Shock Absorber. The style of the bra is similar to regualr bras so you can get a good fit throughout, without being so cinched up that you can't breathe. It is tight enough that I find them uncomfortable to wear more than a couple hours so I don't know what I would recommend if you wear going to run a marathon, but for an hour at the gym and the drive to and from, it is fine.

The best part is, no bounce. The internal "slings" give your breasts a place to sit, without overly compressing them, most of the support comes from that and the band so be sure you get the right band size. The open band in the back is nice for airflow and if you need to make the top or bottom tighter or looser, you can which is nice. The technical fabrics used holds up after months and months of use. I find I can get about a year of gym time out of them (I run about 3-5 hours per week total, an hour at a time). You'll know when it is time to replace it.

The only other main drawback for me, is the placement of the padding on the arms. You can see on the photo how the wider part of the band is on the apex of the model's shoulder. On me it is too low, meaning that the padded part is resting on my collarbone and a thinner part of the band is on my shoulder. Maybe this is part of the reason I can't wear it more than an hour, since the shoulder support is not as good with the padded part being misplaced? The apex of my shoulder to the fullest part of my bust is 9.5 inches. Measure yours to see: if your's is less than you shouldn't have an issue with that part of the strap; if your's is the same or more, be warned. I had considered altering this to make it more comfortable, but I didn't want to mess with the overall integrity of the bra, so I just deal with it. Maybe they are using specs for more petite women when they decided where to place this support. Also, I wish the larger sizes came in the pretty colors. Overall the best I have found.

Pros: no bounce even for larger busts, good fit, lasts a long time
Cons: uncomfortable for more than an hour, lack of pretty colors

This bra has been great for yoga, cardio, and weight training. It doesn't get soggy from sweat, the shoulder straps are comfortable, and there's no uniboob! The only problem is that I'm a 36K so I can't get the perfect size.

The fit is ok but this sports bra is not for High Impact sports. Maybe for a basic work out or Yoga but nothing that requires lots of running and jumping.

ive only worked out once with this bra so far so i cannot speak to its longevity. But I can't say anything bad about it, I did a workout and included Burpees and lots of jumping around and everything stayed in its correct place.  My workout was indoors so i cannot really tell how breathable it is if you were running outside in northeast humidity, but indoors it was definitely more breathable then the Victorias secret knockout sports bra. i ordered the 32D and it fit as expected, i often have problems with bras not fitting snug enough around the rib cage and riding up as i work out.  However, if you are looking for a sports bra that makes the girls good and performs this may not be for you. In that case i would go with one of the Victorias secret KO sports bras if you can swing it.  This bra is not horribly unflattering, but it definitely gives me the "uniboob" look.  Minus one star for the look.  but if you just need something that is true to size and performs well, i would definitely recommend this bra.

I have tried lots of sports bras in the past and this one does what it's suppose to do. I'm a DD-DDD and it really keep  me in place for aerobic or higher impact activities. It does squash you down, but I don't mind. I chose to go down a size based on reviews and that was the right thing for me.

Based on my previous experience with Freya's Crop Top Sports Bra [B00G6KNP0K] I ordered a 36FF (my regular bra is the Wacoal Awareness 36G) and there is slight overspill on top. The band feels snug on the largest hooks and I would tighten it for high impact sports. The cups on this bra run smaller than the other Freya I have. It makes the girls point off at 45 degrees instead of looking straight ahead. I think this runs at least a cup size smaller than my usual size since the center gore is so wide.

As with all encapsulating sport bras, there will be some wiggle and if your bra is too small (as this one is on me) there will be more bounce. If I were to try this in a 36GG or H I could tighten the straps more for more control and get more lock & load. In this size, this bra is good for pilates/yoga where I would be in awkward positions because it comes up high enough that you can't see inside.

I have been looking for a sports bra that fits comfortably and limits bounce. I have only worn this a few times, but so far I like it and it fits well.  Sixe 38 D

It's an ok sports bra. Not super high-impact, but adequate for hiking. Buy one at the sale price and you will be happy. I'm a 38D and I can run for a mile or two in this bra--not much longer. I don't get a lot of bounce, but I do get some shoulder/trapezius pain from the straps. The point where the strap meets the main body of the front of the bra should be wider, and that would give more support. They tried to make this look cute with the skinny strap, and I just think ladies with big boobs need a wider strap. The strap is padded very well, however and doesn't hurt my collarbone. It's just the muscle pain at the top of the shoulder because of the awkward angle of how the strap is shaped.
Otherwise, the boobs fit well and don't hurt my nips. I have washed this once a week for three months and it looks brand new, so that's neat too.

The band is pretty tight, so you would only wear this when you're actually working out. Also, the straps are somewhat uncomfortable because they are attached to the bra by this metal loop thing so sometimes it gets twisted. Overall the bra works really well, and there is minimal jiggling. I wear a 36D and its probably the best high impact bra I have bought/tried on. No pain when running or jumping!

Best low-maintenance sport bra for the price. I'll probably buy more of these soon.

This is a comfortable bra. It doesn't have a lot of support, but is good for everyday wear. I wouldn't exercise in it.

Before going on a streak of upgrading to "real" sports bras, I'd been using the elastic fastener-free kind.  Then, I bought this bra, and the Maia.  If I had to pick between the two, I'd pick the Maia, because of its incredible support and elimination of bounce, but I very much like this bra too.  Though not quite up to the Maia's top-notch performance for running, the Fiona is also worlds better than those old elastic bras-the Fiona tremendously cuts down on bounce and gives good support as well-I'd rate it "very good" in support, to the Maia's "excellent". Like the Maia, it is adjustable in the straps and has hooks in the back.  Unlike the Maia, this bra has a regular sports bra styling that would not draw notice or look weird, so if wearing a sports bra by itself is a priority, this bra would be a better choice.  Like the low-quality elastic bras, this bra does give a bit of the uniboob effect (it is a mainly a compression-style bra, but a good one), but that doesn't really bother me.  Honestly, the only reason I'm giving this bra 4 instead of 5 is because I also bought the Maia-otherwise, I'd be giving this a 5.

I am always on the lookout for a wire-free option in a bra with extended cup sizes.  This one had great reviews, so I splurged and ordered it, choosing a size according to Anita's size chart. I have rated this bra in several categories with stars for each one.
1) Comfort -- I would give this 10 stars if I could.  This is the most comfortable bra I have worn in years that still provides decent support.  I forget I am wearing it, and I think I could sleep in it if I had to.  Very, very comfortable.
2) Quality of construction --  2.5 stars. I've had this less than two months and worn it about three days a week. The elastic bands have already started to ripple in places, which should not be happening. My other complaint is that the slides that adjust the straps simply don't stay put.  I often have to readjust them partway through the day, and certainly before each time I wear it.  Somewhat disappointing in a bra this expensive.
3) Appearance -- 3 stars.  It is a plain looking bra.  It is not ugly, but it is certainly not pretty, either.  My biggest complaint here is that it does give a bit of the uniboob look.  Sadly, that is probably unavoidable in a wire-free bra.
4) Support for sports -- 3 stars.  I wear this for low-impact sports, but it does not provide enough support for high-impact activities.
5) Support for everyday wear -- 5 stars.  This has become my favorite bra for daily wear, and it provides good support for bike-riding, walking, and general low-impact activities.
6) Fit - 4 stars.  I found that the bra in my size (by measurement) has cups that are a teeny bit small and a band that is a little bit big.  I have to wear it on the tightest hook.
I think this is probably a great sports bra for most, but once you get beyond the D cups, it is probably better for daily wear than for most athletic activities. This is my favorite bra, but my search for a great sports bra will continue.

This bra does have some nice support for a bigger girl (38F) but not enough to allow me to run without lots of bounce.  I have a shorter torso, and the straps on this bra actually adjust short enough to fit me.  The band stays in place well; but I would expect no less when you have 5 hooks around the back instead of the typical 3.  One complaint is that the band tends to roll and bunch in the front, which is a common problem I have with athletic bras.  The 4 different support adjustments in the front are a nice feature, but do not tighten enough for me.  I usually wear this for going to the gym or even as an everyday bra when I will be moving around a lot as it does not create the infamously unflattering uniboob but does have a higher neckline.  Watch out when wearing with thin shirt materials as the seams do show though in the front.  Overall, a nice bra but not controlling of bounce as much as I would like for running.
