Best Sports Bra ever

I bought my size, 38DD. I have many from Shock Absorber. This is the best sports bra I have ever owned.
Not supportive enough for high intensity exercise
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2018
Ordered one band size down after reading reviews, kept same cup size. Fit perfectly, but this bra is not meant for hard running. It does not support high intensity effort with large breasts. Light exercise would be fine. I was hopeful because it's much cuter and lighter than the typical Shock Absorber S4490 that I wear to run, but support is more important to me than aesthetics. Also, it's a beast to get into. Had to clasp and pull over my head. It's going back.
Fabric felt great, but it was too big and I didn't ...

Had to return. Fabric felt great, but it was too big and I didn't know what size to try. Normally I wear 34D, which is what I ordered Wasn't sure if band, cup, or both were off. Wish it had worked. Would love a breathable high impact sports bra for running.
Runs large

Was a bit disappointed. Wasnât a supportive as the usual shock absorber bras.
Not for High Impact Activity
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2018
Ordered this bra in a 36D and tried it for a run and there was way too much bounce. Thankfully my run was short. I got the bra in grey and yellow and it is pretty and washes well. I like that it is completely breatheable however it has zero padding which means your nipples print through...I will keep the bra for low to medium impact activities. Would not recommend for high impact.

The BEST gym purchase I have ever made.I have size 34F boobs and I have never found a sports bra that doesnât hurt when I run/ burpee/ squat jump!It is perfectly true to size, I am not even an inch out of bra! No upper boob spill no side boob and 100% no underboob! My boobs sit comfortably and arenât squashed to my chest, they are roomy and arenât rubbing together, I donât get the pain in my shoulders from the weight of my boobs due to the way the straps and back is designed! And itâs SUPER COMFORTABLE, really good material and really pretty....I ran at full speed on the treadmill 15km ph and not even an inch of my boob came out/ nor did I even feel like I had boobs! Invitable BUT MINIMAL bounce but barely noticeable and not painful!I then decided to try burpees to test it (because in every sports bras Iâve had by the end of 3 burpees my boobs would fight eachother to see which comes out of the top gap first) but not even a nipple out of line after 10 burpees with squat jumps!I am also so so happy!! I would highly recommend anyone with big heavy boobs who enjoys running or anything that requires boob jiggling to buy this, I wish I had ordered more than one! Because Iâve just tried to buy a second one (in the same grey and green colour) and theyâre out of stock and the pink and black one is £8 more expensive that would honestly be the only downfall to this product WHY ARE THEY DIFFERENT PRICES?
Cute but not supportive enough

This is no where near the support of other styles of this brand (I own Several). The fit is fine but no right support that you need for cardio. Love the color combo but sadly this one won't be worn again. For reference I purchased 38D (same as I wear in the brand other styles)
Amazing price for these shock absorber sports bra

Amazing price for these shock absorber sports bra. I had to go down one size from 36 to 34, because the price was too good to pass. Although the 36 that I already had is my true regular bra size and does fit better. The 34 is just fine. I highly recommend this brand for a sports bra. The best! I have been wearing them for 10 years
Nice

A bit too large but otherwise great quality. I have had it fir a ling time now and it has held up great. Bouncing absorption is so-so. There was another one I initially ordered which was better but I still like this product

Its shock absorber what more can i say?The best for jogging and long distance or any type of exercise.This bra is fantastic.Really good suport.This one i purchased is little bit more softer in the material and straps compared to the other running bra they do bit just as good.. I wear 2 bras every time i exercise,so im always on the look out when they have offers.Ive been a shock absorber bra wearer for over 27years.I only by the best because the company really thinks about whats best for women who train or run.

Iâm a big fan of shock absorber and have had several types over the years. I decided to give this new style a go. As expected from shock absorber it feels pretty supportive. It also feels comfortable and actually looks good. The only issue is the sizing, it comes up big. I usually have to go up two band sizes in shock absorber but this was huge, I will need my normal bra size. For this reason Iâm having to send back.

If there was such a thing as minus zero I would give this that rating. This bra was described as being suitable for those with DD plus boobs and being of strong support, high impact. This bra was was hideous. I am a 38DD and bought this size. My daughter is a 32E and bought her regular size too. She horse rides and I do HIIT workouts and weights. It had to go on over the head which I could have put up with if it was as advertised. It was good and tight - as it should be for any decent sports bra, but because there were no cut outs for the breast it compressed mine which I could have coped with if the support was there. When I jumped up and down simulating my HIIT workout my breasts were bouncing as if I had no bra on. My daughter wore hers horse riding and the bounce was shocking. Not suitable if you are D or DD or over. Bras were returned. I am not a fan of Shock Absorber as the quality has deteriorated over the years. I will be going back to Fantasie in future. Do not buy this if you have larger breasts as it will not support you at all. In fact I bought a two pack of M&S high impact (not high impact either but that's another story!) for day to day use and these have the same level of supposed support as this bra and for less than half the price. I am still searching for a decent bra that allows me to do my HIIT workouts without holding my own boobs!!!!!

This is my fourth bra from shock absorber. I'm quite disappointed as the previous types never even loosened up really. This one was tight and great fitting only first day of wearing:( now after washing even though on 30°C in hands and special detergent does not fit as good as before. Because of this I would not consider this bra as a high impact and would not recommend it for running at all. If I had the chance I would return it.
