Best Sports Bra I have ever bought
Shock Absorber Womens Run Bra.I have had many sports bras over the years and have either found them uncomfortable or not very supportive. I had seen the good reviews for Shock Absorber and decided to purchase one.I am currently doing a lot of High Intensity workouts and being a 38DD need a lot of support.I purchased the 38D and found that it fitted perfectly, the band is on the tightest clip and the cups fit perfectly.I tried it out on my first high intensity workout and am fully converted to using shock absorber bras now ! I could not believe the difference, usually I would feel movement, bouncing up a down now I feel everything is fully held in, there is hardly any bounce, I love the fact that the bra comes high up and fully supports and covers the breasts.The bra has 2 fastenings on the band and it also crosses at the back to fasten between the shoulders this clip is fully adjustable to get comfortable, when putting the bra on and taking off you do not need to undo this clip.I found the bra really easy to put on and take off and will definately using Shock Absorber bras in the future.Brilliant Buy, well worth the money.

Great sports bra
I love these, I have many. All the straps/bands are nice and wide, they sit well and generally don't dig in, even when you add a few pounds *cough stone cough* and don't change bra to suit. The fabric is satiny, so doesn't hold on to tshirt fabric, and is also quite thick adding I think to the comfort, as well as longevity of use. Keeps jiggling/movement to minimum even when i was a DD i found this one of the best bras around for all my sports: karate, triathlon, mtbing, yoga and rollerderby. I prefer using the run bra to the other sports bras SA offer as it really is a great all rounder. When they get a bit tired I just don't use them for running and keep them for low impact sports (yoga, road biking etc) until fail. They are relatively expensive, but they are well worth the money.

Good sports bra
I bought this bra both for running and for aerobics. When running it's perfect, but during aerobics the upper fastener always becomes undone, which is irritating as the lower fastener only is not enough to keep the bra snugly in place. On the other hand, though, it is a bra for running, not for aerobics. Some of the other reviewers mention that it's difficult to do up the upper fastener. Me too I had to ask my husband for help at the beginning, but I quickly became used to fastening it and now it's not a problem any more. The size I bought is larger than my usual one: I wear 30DD, and I had to buy this bra in 32D as I could hardly fasten the 30DD around the chest (I tried it on in a shop) and I had great difficulty breathing. This one is tight around the chest too, but not too tight, just fine, doesn't bother me at all.Generally it's a good sports bra, it gives great support and nice shape. I'm not giving it 5 stars because I haven't used it long enough for that (several times during running and several times during aerobics). If everything turns out to be as fine as it is now, I think I'll buy another Shock Absorber, but this time some other model, only for aerobics and other possible sports that require more movements of the hands and upper body.

Great product
Good all rounder. Good for moderate to extreme exercise, running etc. Comfortable and washes well.

Practical if a tad awkward
I must first say that I have a love/hate relationship with Shock Absorber bras generally. I hate them because I don't find their "compression fit" very comfortable. I have decent sized boobs & they just squash everything into your body which I don't like. However I have to admit they work in terms of stopping boobs bouncing around so to that extent I am growing to love them.I really didn't like this bra when it arrived. As well as the usual "squash factor" it's 2nd fastening is a plastic clip affair like you would find on a swim suit located so high between the shoulder blades its almost impossible to fasten. ( and you can't front fasten and swivel) However I decided to try it out and I must say it does work well.As always with shock absorber the fit on back size is small so think about going up a size on that- cup size is fine though, it's supposed to fit tight, that is how it works.Regarding comfort I am in 2 minds- it's tight, you will notice when you put it on & it won't feel comfortable. But once you are wearing it and while running you just won't notice it. In short it is comfortable to run in which is pretty much the pointSo I am growing to love this bra, slowly, very slowly. I had to force myself to give this bra 5*s which I did because it's well made and very fit for purpose but it doesn't make my "heart sing" if you know what I mean!Hope that helps ladies

Sizing is way, way off.
The sizing is ridiculous on these. I've finally got the right size for me but it's two cup sizes and one back size up from where I'd usually expect my fit to be, and as it's the biggest cup they do I have no scope to get a bigger one if my size changes and there's only a couple of colours in my size. It's also VERY difficult to get this on and fastened because the clips are at an awkward position on the back and it doesn't easily pull round to the front when the straps are shortened correctly. Having said that, it's a good quality bra and when you do find the right size it's effective and reasonably comfortable, and it machine washes which is always a bonus. If there were more options in other manufacturers or styles for my size then I'd probably be looking at alternative products but as it is the only option, this one does well enough and I have ordered more.

Great Bra for Distance Running
This is the only bra I will wear for distance running. Great for larger chested women, particularly DD and up. No chafing and comfortable. Size up in the band size, runs a little small.

Definitely buy a size bigger.
Definitely buy a size bigger. Otherwise it is a really great bra especially for someone with larger breasts who want the extra support for aerobic type exercise. I am not moving at all! lolOnly wish I had ordered a size larger.

Perfekt för intensiv träning.
Bästa sport bhn för jogging. Brösten sitter som fixerade. Man känner sig fri. Har köpt denna modell i flera år. Man kan dock inte köpa sina normala storlek. Kupan bör man beställa en storlek mindre än vanligt. Omkretsen kan man köpa en storlek större om man vill att den ska sitta bekvämt. Jag brukar ha 75 e normalt. I denna tar jag 80 d.
