Does not hurt shoulders and gives proper support!

Reviewed in Australia on 1 February 2022

Love it! Will not be buying any other sports from now on as this is the one!
My regular bra size is 10-12F or 32-34F but I bought 34D. It fits just right and didn’t not hurt my shoulder/neck area like other brands. It’s a hot day and yet I don’t feel suffocated because the fabric is just great.
Perfect for high intensity workouts!
Hoping it lasts longer than the other brands as well!

Effective bounce reduction, very comfortable when on.

Great fit (a tiny bit tight around chest but cup size is accurate), and very effective in reducing bounce when jogging. Love these colours too. I find it tricky to do up the top back part but will probably get used to it.

This bra is fantastic for running - super supportive and the only one I will run in.

Tiny but excellent if you go up a band size, down a cup size.

This is fantastic. I bought my last shock absorber bra 20 years ago in the days of the Anna kournicova ads and it lasted all that time. Admittedly, some of those years it stayed in the draw. But it lasted really well. This bra is great. I bought my usual size initially and returned it for one size up on band, one size down on cup, I.e. the cup size is accurate but the band is tiny. 70% say fits as expected? I think it depends on whether you are wearing a bra size you fitted yourself and like a loose band in which case buy that size - it will be tight tho - or whether you have gone to John Lewis and they have given you the right size already - in which case definitely buy a bigger band size. Really comfortable to run in and I can just about breathe in the bigger size. Another thing to mention is that I am really tall and it fits. You need to adjust the length of the bra on the back of it. And there is no bouncing anywhere 🤣

Shock Absorber is a very good brand however this style is very small.

I have many 34B Shock Absorber bras and I went for a 32B as thats what was in stock at this price. I have one already in this smaller size in a different style which is very tight but good for running. This one wouldn't even pull down over my boobs so I feel this style comes up small. I am now paying the return postage which is not great. The bra itself is a great style but I have found an 'imitation' for half the price which is, I would say nearly as good.

Comfortable but not as effective as I’d hoped

I took up running during the pandemic and managed to buy a sports bra from the same makers (a multisports model) on the last day the shops were open before lockdown. I am very happy with that one but recently saw that there are models specifically designed for running, so thought I had better get one of those. This one was mentioned in one of those “Top 10” type lists on the internet. It fits well, I can just about reach the behind the back fastening mechanism, the rubberised padding on the straps work well and it’s very comfortable to wear. However, having worn it on a 10K jog I did not think it stopped chest movement as well as the multisport model does. I think it is less compressive. I’m keeping it as back-up but will buy another multisport one from the same makers. Based on a follow up question, it is very difficult to close the plastic clasp and I have reduced the stars further from 3 to 2. It is very well made in many respects but for me it’s the Active Multisports Support model from the same makers every time.

For the Bigger Women

If you are a bigger chest size woman I highly recommend this for you. Don't fool yourself by going for something smaller size.
I was blessed with a bigger set of boobs. And It is hard for me to feel comfortable and have the right support with a normal sports bra. I use this bra for the gym, hiking when I go for my runs. This bra supports you in all the right places, It pushes your boobs up and in. No sore shoulder straps. I like that you can choose to have the bra strap as an X or normal shoulder strap. I don't have any sore shoulders where the strap is digging in. This bra is good as you don't get stuck midway when you try to get it off after a sweaty session.
The material is light and quick to dry.

Not as supportive as other Shock Absorber style for running

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this based on how good my old Shock Absorber bra is, with all the good reviews and awards it's won I was expecting it to be as supportive, if not better. When I first tried it on I LOVED it, so much more flattering than the other model I had, but with a few runs up and down the stairs (especially coming down!!) it became apparent that it just didn't match up to my older bra. It's all made from one piece of stretchy material meaning there's quite a lot of give in it, the other model is more structured. If you want to look fab and do low impact sport, it's perfect as it is really flattering and is supportive for low/medium impact sport... but for running/high impact support, go for the 'Shock Absorber D+ Classic Support Sports Bra' instead.

I knew I was buying slightly too small - and I was right

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2020

The bra just about fits and works well as a sports bra.
Don't be tempted to buy a size smaller (which I did due to limited availability and previous advice from friends about "buying a size smaller to help the efficiency of the sports bra" leading my to believe I could get away with it) as it is very tight to the point of constricting my rib cage.
It is a very comfortable bra, though not as comfortable as I'd like as it is too tight.
I would absolutely buy again, but in my actual size as opposed to the size i ordered this occasion.

Sizing is completely off, hard to get on and then uncomfortable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 June 2021

Size: 30GColour: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

The sizing is completely off, i think SA need to recall these bras as they dont appear to have used any QA. I normally wear a 30F bra, my ribcage (under bust measurement) measures 29inches. As you can see from the picture the 30F Shock Absorber ultimate run bra only measures 21 inch band size and 26 inch at full stretch ie i couldnt do it up. I exchanged it for a 32F which came very quickly. The band is 24 inch and stretches to fit but only just, however the cup was too big. It is also a pain to get on, and once on i didnt feel comfortable in it as it was digging in around the arm pits. I wouldnt recommend this style at all, i will stick with the SA high impact bra which is comfortable and comes in the size you would expect
