Whelp, since this bra was literally written about me when I was working at T9 (yup---I really did trade-up the boyfriend AND the bra at the same time), I figured I needed to
write a review. This is the ONLY sports bra that I will wear. I have had the same original one and a couple of rotating replacements for over 15 years. It was FINALLY time to
replace my original and I couldn't be happier with the new one. Perfect fit, high support and very adjustable. 100% satisfied!I guess I am not trading-up this time but
replacing. However, I will only be replacing the bra this time---there is no replacing my now husband! :)

Great colour - very vibrantAs with all shock absorber run bra's you need to go up a size in the band.I ordered multiple sizes & colours, and red had a much bigger band than
the orange, so much so i would probably have to go down a band size for it to fit properly (if I had kept it).I have had lots of these bra's over the years. However, they do not
feel as sturdy or the clips so well made as before (only time will tell).These are expensive, and I expect more from a premium product. I might try some different brands
moving forward.

I chose this bra as I go running. However, it acts as a compression bra and doesnt give the greatest protection. The straps can be easily adjusted and slide in like a hook but
on a number of occasions the straps have pooped open whilst i was in the missle of running. After the first occassion i got my partner to check the hook was in correctly but it
still popped off. I think its a poor design and not worth the price. If you have big boos i would be inclined to go for something that seperates your boobs for more stability. plus
you dont want the strap popping off mid run, especially if you are on the treadmill in the gym. It was extremly embarrasing. Materila quality felt okay and fit see...

This review declares 'no monoboob here' but that is an achievement they've not reached yet. Total monoboob. It's an unwired bra in a G cup so maybe there is no real surprise but I'm a little disappointed. However I'm keeping it as the straps can't slip down due to the notches and they can't slip off due to the racerback clip - I will only buy bras with this racerback clip now & the Jenna bra is my all time fave. How did it take humanity so long to fix the strap slip issue?! It's really easy to slip it over your head with the top clip done up then negotiate your boobs in before doing it up like a normal bra. The Run bra is slightly harder to do this with but it's a Sports Bra so that's to be expected. I like the bright colourway.

Excellent support for two hour runs.This is the only run bra or firm support bra I feel fully supported in for longer runs.I still use another shock absorber crop top over the top for extra compression. I find the shoulder straps slightly too long, usually wear on shortest setting but in the past I've had to cut and shorten them.True to size but I find there is a little too much volume of fabric in the top of the cup, they're made for a 20 year old I think! I find this with any full cup bra though and wear half cup balcony bras for everyday for this reason or there is too much fabric at the top of the cups. With this run bra I make a triangle shaped dart in the centre top which makes the cups less full at the top for flatter breasts, to get a firmer fit in that ...

Every other run bra I've tried offers less support and most are impossible to put on or get off when wet without assistance, so Shock Absorber wins hands down on that too.Less chafing than other bras due to the ultra firm fit. When the bra starts to chafe under the arms/at the sides it just means the elastic has reached the end of its life and the bra need replacing. When new, these bras will keep you running in comfort for hours, even when wet, with no painful chafe!

I’m sorry I have to write a bad review.I sized up as was advised. It’s very difficult to put on unless my hubby can fast the upper strap.Once on the shoulders dig in and by the time I’ve finished class my neck muscles ache. The straps are on the longest fit. I’ve tried fastening at the front and swizzling it round as one of your customer suggested but it’s far too tight to do that. I have cut the top buckles off and it will probably fray now. I would not buy this style bra again and worried to buy from you in case they don’t fit. . I’m only a size 12 so not overweight.

there's a few things we need to talk about
27 April 2023
there's a few things we need to talk about with this bra. all comments from other shoppers are true. when choosing this bra you have to go 2 sizes up and it's not the best at reducing the jiggle. another thing is that i seem to be at the loosest setting for the straps to get the back right. i'm 1.62 so that puzzles me. why did i buy it? because it's very quick drying... i use a sportsbra every day of the week for a mat class with lots of upside down work so it suits my needs but if you're thinking of running in it, perhaps choose something different.

I've just added another 2 Ultimate Run bras to my collection! I really love these bras. The only reason this review only gets 4 stars is because one of the bras has very scratchy stitching by the fastening which is uncomfortable. However, the other is perfect, so I assume it is just one of those things that happens from time to time. I'm sure it will soften over time. These bras are very comfortable (apart from the stitching on one) and provide excellent support. The straps have great adjustability.

This was my preferred sports bra for running for years but a change to the width of the bottom band means the bra is not as supportive as it used to be. There used to be 3 hooks but reduced to 2 that means for a larger bust there is not as much support. The latest bra I purchased was not finished correctly which meant 1 side rubbed badly during exercise so is unwearable, which you would not expect for the higher-end price tag. Bra always had an issue with the straps at the back becoming undone, where they can be adjusted for length, why there was never a clip/or larger curve to hold them in place I don't know, not like I can stop midrun to adjust them. Disappointed I now have to look for a new product and will not purchase this bra again.

Don’t even understand how this bra had 4 stars average in the ratings! Everything you’d hate was present in this bra. The band is at least 1-2 sizes too tight (normally I’m a 32 in band, read reviews and bought 34 and it was still a struggle to get it on loosest clasp). Once you get it on, it’s a total uniboob effect, no separation whatsoever. Then the worst part is that despite the uniboob squish and the super-tight band, I felt it did not give me enough support or bounce control. I wore it to do cross fit in and was very frustrated with the amount of bounce I still felt. Huge disappointment and I wish I could send it back at this point, but I had taken the tags off and washed it, so I guess I’m stuck. Hopefully this review will help others avoid the same mistake! ...

In the same order, I also bought the other shock absorber bra style. I did like that better. Better separation, band not as tight (still go up a size though). Still not a ton of support, but ok for moderate bounce activity (wouldn’t run in it).
