After years of searching for the right sports bra I finally struck gold with this one. I only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think the cups run just a bit too small. I typically wear a 28HH or 30H so I went with a 30H in this bra. The band is very snug, which is good, but i have just a little but of spillage/cutting in at the top which I think sizing up a cup would totally fix. I love that it is full coverage and comes up higher on the chest. I also love that the straps are closer set into the shoulders in the back and the front. I have very narrow shoulders and with most bras the straps cut in under my armpits and start to slip off my shoulders, but not the case with this one. And of course it provides great support even while jogging and bouncing ... MoreAfter years of searching for the right sports bra I finally struck gold with this one.

Disappointed as the sizing was completely off. Bought in size 38D; have subsequently used bra extenders on all fastenings and can say the absorber works. However, the brand is Champion sport and not shock absorber (the original). I am not a slight build and maybe that was the reason for my difficulty in correct size/fitting.

I have a number of Shock Absorber bras, haven't bought one for a while because they are great quality and last forever. I wanted something for HIIT as well as callisthenics and thought I'd give this a try. Doing it up does take a little bit of practice (Shock Absorber are good with their sizing but the first time you put it on you think it is too small because it is like a second skin) however now that is nailed and the bra is brilliant, I can even do some of my runs in it. It allows full range of movement, doesn't chafe and keeps things separate (I'm 34D)! Chose the Blue/Grey one which looks much better against my skin (I'm dark blonde) than I thought it might. So an excellent buy.
