Expert 2 for 1 removal and care tip
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2017
I am a slim shouldered 32F and I got this bra for horseback riding over a year ago. Anita makes excellent products and this bra has been just wonderful. It still looks brand new! And I love the vivid green color.Iâll join other reviewers in saying that when youâre hot and sweaty, this bra can be a little difficult to get off, especially when youâre that kind of tired that takes the strength right out of your hands.But I have a tip that will not only make this easier, but will help your bra last longer: Wear it into the shower. There isnât a darn thing wrong with using gentle body wash to clean your bras, and honestly hand washing them is easier when theyâre on anyway. Suds it up then once youâre a little cooler itâll be easier to peel off. Then you can wash the inside surfaces, hang this bad boy up, and wear it for tomorrowâs workout - youâll be glad you did because this bra will be your favorite.
Loved the bra at first glance

Loved the bra at first glance. Held well. Kind of a pain to get on and off but willing to deal with that if the coverage and support were good and they were. Wore this for my first ever half marathon with another sports bra on top just in case. I'm 38 DDD. Thankfully I had the extra bra on because a mile before I finished one of the metal hooks broke! Snapped! One boob with barely any support!! I was horrified! So I called and got it replaced for free. Wore the second one for a 5K and literally the exact same thing happened. I had to tie a knot out of this bra and my back up bra. What would I have done without the second bra????? This time they wanted me to mail the bras back and I was so frustrated that I ate it . I got so mad that I went to the store and bought new hooks and replaced the ones on both bras. Guess what? Mine have held up wonderfully with my new hooks. So don't buy this bra.. Its too risky!
pretty darn magical

Perfect. I'm a recent convert from double plain Champion sports bras or just wearing a sports bra that's two sizes too small.The straps really only have to be adjusted once when you get it, and they haven't come undone, even in the wash. I basically put in on like a regular sports bra, get myself adjusted, then clasp the back. Everything stays put before the back is clasped, so it's no big deal to do and a nice feature for getting the band tight.It keeps me as still as I think any bra would be capable of, I do feel supported, and somehow I don't have a uniboob! How is that all possible?! It's pretty darn flattering for a sports bra! And the material is quite breathable yet absorbent.I ordered the 34F since I'm a 34DDD and it fit perfectly.I've worn it to spin classes and for running on the treadmill so far.
Good support

i've only had one run(13 miles in Texas July summer weather) in the Anita Women's Dynamix Star Maximum Support Sport Bra - it didn't chafe me, which i usually get it under my boobs(I'm size 32E/F - depending on brand, but in this i am 32F). so... so far so good! i will order another one.9/2015 - I have changed the rating to a 3 star bc the hook broke on it! I bought it in July so I don't think the hook should break that fast. I will have to go back to the other anita style that you slide the straps to adjust vs. the hooks.
Best sports bra I've ever had.

This bra is great. I love that it's a racer back, the material is thinner than many other larger-cup size sports bras I've tried, but still supportive, and as a breastfeeding mom, I can unhook the straps for easy access. Would have probably preferred a larger cup size but I ordered the largest one available and still have some breast separation (no uni-boob). Haven't attempted a lot of high-impact sports with it but so far it has provided a lot of support for chasing after an active toddler. I ordered a 32G - which was the largest cup size I could get, and I normally wear this size when not breastfeeding. I am currently closer to a 32H or 32I but this still fits well and I don't feel squished or have uniboob. Definitely worth it thus far.

Have tried lots of sports bras and it was the usual problems - too tight, mono-boob, too sweaty, seams show through clothing, uncomfortable etc. With this bra though, Anita have nailed it. I am a larger lady (38DD) and use this mainly for backpacking. It breathes so doesn't get all damp and stained, it is smooth on the cups so no ridgelines, it keeps the breastacles separate and it doesn't make you look pointy (like those women in the 60's). It does take some time to get used to putting this on but once you've got the hang of it, you'll never look back.
Can be used as a nursing sports bra for larger busts!

Iâm a nursing mother who exercises regularly. Looking for a supportive bra large enough for nursing breasts that gives my baby easy access left me feeling like I was looking for a unicorn. Well, Iâve finally found the unicorn. This bra was not intended as a nursing bra, so the straps fall when you detach the front clasp, but Iâll take it. And like other Anita bras, itâs extremely lightweight and supportive. No padding or underwire like other supportive bras for busty ladies.Iâve only worn it a few times so I canât comment on the longevity issues raised by other reviewers, but this is literally the only good nursing-friendly sports bra I could find in a 32G so Iâm hoping for the best.
Good but not the best

I'm not a FF or even a DD. I'm just a lowey C cup and maybe that is the problem. This bra, while tons better than my cheapo Champion ones, is not perfect either. First, it really does take 2 people to put it on, unless you are a magician and can actually snap your bra in the back while it is in place! Next it doesn't really hold the boobs up like I'd hoped, for the price. It does make you look round (does not smoosh boobs) but there is a little movement when i run and I don't like that. I actually prefer the Syrokan Womens High Impact Bra (bought here but sizes limited) for 1/2 the price.

I was really disappointed with this bra. I have had the one in blue for years and love it. So, I bought two more, in blue and black in a 32E which I've been all my adult life. It's the same size as the original bra I had but they must have changed the sizing as they are both about 2 sizes to small. I can't wear either of them and now can't return them as stupidly cut the labels out assuming that as they were the same size as the one I had, they would fit.
The only bra that doesn't chafe for half-marathon training

I've worn Brooks for years, but tried an Anita bra at a local running shop. I was dubious it would be supportive enough, since the material feels thinner and it just feels "less" in general. I've now been running with Anita bras for 3 years, and they're the only ones that don't chafe across my chest plate from the chest band rubbing me. As a 38D, I thought I'd need to be more "strapped down" like with a SheFit or Enell, but truly, I have just enough movement to feel comfortable without pain. These are also much more breathable and dry faster than the Brooks bras.

This bra is beautifully made and the quality is excellent. It doesn't work well for me because of the scramble to get into it. I realise I prefer a bra that opens fully at the back, rather than one that goes over my head and then struggled with to get it where it needs to go.

Perfect fit, excellent shape, minimum bounce. This is quite simply the best sports bra ever and I have 38F boobs and have tried all sorts of different ones in my 64 years. To get it on, turn it inside out and put it over your head upside down then flip it. Just brilliant.
