Champion Ultimate Run Shock Absorber Sports Bra, Maximum Support for Cardio Sports, Breathable, Quick-Dry, Fully Adjustable, Back Fastening

This is actually the second time I’ve bought this bra — and I went through Amazon this time because it was cheaper and arrived quicker than ordering from the official site. Massive bonus! I first bought this Champion training bra about 6 years ago, and it’s served me so well. I used it regularly for running and workouts, and it held up brilliantly over time. I was honestly impressed by how long it lasted considering how much I wore it. The support is amazing — especially if, like me, you’ve got a bigger bust. I’ve struggled in the past with sports bras that look the part but just don’t offer the right support. This one does. It keeps everything in place, doesn’t feel tight or restrictive, and it’s really comfortable to wear for long periods. I love that it fastens in two places — both at the back and also at the bottom band — so it gives that extra secure feel. You can also adjust the straps and the back, which is great for getting the perfect fit. Tip for anyone unsure on sizing: Go to the Champion website and use their fit guide. You just put in your measurements and they suggest the best size. That’s what I did the first time and I just reordered the same one here on Amazon. Fit was spot on again. It’s hard to fault this bra. Great quality, high-impact support, comfortable, long-lasting, and well-priced — honestly, I’ll probably end up getting a third one before this one wears out!

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 point So 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

the bra is superbly constructed. does not stretch. wide padded straps which are supportive and done dig in. chest area does not bounce even on very high impact. very stable and doesn't shift at all. one of the best running bras I've had. it has a hook just behind your neck/shoulders as well as the normal one mid back so this distribute the impact and weight of the bust when running, and adds support. I really recommend to any big bust ladies. The downside. since it is non stretchy, parts which are styled tightly or too small cannot fit right. I've been medium 34 back for all my life and this one I had to buy a back extender. I imagine they make the back strap very tight to support the bust without shifting during high impact but to me it was not comfortable at all. next, the shoulder straps. normally you would have a sort of buckle that you make shorter or longer by pulling. but instead this one has a series of hooks and the shoulder strap is hooked into the loop. with the right length. this means the shoulder straps don't slide to longer length as you run. then, in the back, as well as the normal doing up hooks around your back, there is another clasp between your shoulder blades to hoist the bousim from behind your neck. like a racer style. this is VERY supportive sounds great right? well the issue for me is that the clasp behind the neck, is sort of between the top of your shoulder blades. maybe a bit lower. and it's virtually impossible to reach to do it up. I have no idea how you do it. and if you leave it undone, then the shoulder straps will slide down or become unhooked, leaving your bousam flapping and flailing and half the bra falls down. in conclusion, top marks for supportive and non bounce and comfort for huge tiddiees. but low marks for overall construction - and extremely unsuitable for anyone with flexibility issues, shoulder joint issues, older folk, people with short arms, due to the difficult location of the rear upper clasp.

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.

i ordered a 38dd and even though it says it is a 38dd it is more like a 36 without no dd as its so tight i will have to add another 3ins or more to the band yes and only buy this bra if you are double jointed as it took me hrs and i mean hrs trying to get the hook together at the top and when i did it really hurt my arms as i had to double joint it to do it it is wonderfully made very good quality material but has no support what so ever unless you can do the hook up at the top or are very small busted and i would advise to try this on first at all costs and you will need to have someone do the hook up for you it looks no were near like the photo as the girl is small busted when on this bra gives no support to my bust whatsoever and could potentially damage them its like there is no bra to hold up by bust so BE WARNED THis bra really doesn't give support my bust try on at the shop and buy there

This was a good design with strong support. I ordered for running and know it would have been perfect had the underband fit been correct. I could tell as soon as I took it out the wrapping it was going to be tight. I ordered a 34F - the cup size was good, the clasp and hook and eye easy to get in/out. Thick comfortable straps. I had to send back because the underband was an inch too small. I managed to close this but it would not have been comfortable to run in. Gutted as I really liked the bra. If you are on the petite side of a 34, this may fit and if a standard 34, a size 36 could be better. At the time I ordered, the price point was great, however the size 36 was showing 3 times the price therefore didn't reorder.

Size : 38E Sports : Mixed genres of dance, running and gym workout After reading x-amount of reviews on this bra I was definitely unsure of my original intent to purchase however in the end I am 110% happy I decided to purchase this item. I currently use Triumph Tri-Action sports bra and decided it has seen better days when I stumbled across this Shock Absorber model. Material and Design : The item is well built with a double lining to absorb moisture and minimalise any discomfort during exercise. A lot of fuss has been made about straps becoming undone etc througout work out however I cannot see this being possible as I struggled to open the bra straps in order to change the length. Other reviews claim that you need to have out-of-the-ordinary arm flexibilty in order to even get the bra on in the first place but it is safe to say, these claims are over dramatic. The best way to put the item on is leaving the top hooks in and opening the back catches as if applying a standard U back bra. Those who often wear cross back straps will find this style of bra easy to wear. Sizing : This style is said to run small however I ordered my normal size and it fitted perfectly and comfortably. If you are nervous of sizing order one back size up as cups are claimed to run big but back size small but in my case this did not apply. (I usually purchase size 14 - 16 - 18 size tops depending on the brand obviously but just an fyi for rough information). Amazon Service : Item came within 3 days, well packaged as usual. This item is an absolute steal at just under 25£ considering it's RRP is 37£ + and above. I am happy that I purchased this bra and it feels totally comfortable and ensures I feel confident while wearing it. I would definitely advise anyone that is big chested like myself to at least give it a try. Hope this helped :)

The best sports bra on the market in my opinion. A really good price.
