Good but small fitting

I’ve had several bras from Shock Absorber - all of them have been brilliant. They’ve fit and washed really well, and they’ve been comfortable and very supportive.
This bra is the same size I would usually order but the band is very tight. The cups are also on the small side. It fits, but would have marked it as a 30F as opposed to a 32F. Other than that, it’s a perfectly decent bra, just poor sizing

A 'let down' not 'hold up'!

Did not like this AT ALL. I'm returning it as it did not reduce bounce more than my Freya active medium control, and unlike that this Shock Absorber Ultimate Run bra squashed my assets into a mono-boob, no separation and hence an uncomfortable and very unattractive shape. I had originally ordered a 30F from a different source but couldn't even try that on as the band was too small (I have been fitted and my chest measurement is exactly 30"; previous sports bras and my normal lingerie are all perfectly fitted) this was a 32 and extremely tight to the point of restricted breathing. Very disappointed. I want up, round and firm and sadly this did not deliver on fit, shape, comfort or bounce! Two stars because of swift delivery and the ease of return.

Good quality but too small!

I bought a 32F so that it was a little tighter in the chest, which I figured would give me a little more support (I've needed to do this in the past). When it arrived, I could see the quality of this was fantastic - however, when I tried it on, the actual band is far too tight, to the point that it hurts my ribs - and there's no give so it becomes really restricting. I am a true 32 band, so I would recommend a size looser to ensure that you can work out comfortably. The cups were okay, but again I am a true G cup and I don't think I needed to go down a size as it would have fit okay - the cups weren't horrendous though.

The only bad point about this, other than the band being very tight, is that the racer back clip is so hard to do up by yourself! However, once you've struggled for 15 mins to do it up (or someone nice has helped you), it offers a nice bit of extra support.

Superb bra, perfect for running and all other high impact sports

This bra is an absolute must for runners. The fact there are no seams on the inside is perfect, definitely no danger of chaffing which I have got with other shock absorber bras.

It is very comfortable and certainly held everything in place. It is a bit small around the back, but it does give a bit. It's like when you put anything new on, it will be a bit tight to begin with. And it is a bit fiddly to do up but don't let that put you off.

Definitely, definitely recommend this bra for anyone that runs or does any high impact sport.

Poor sizing

Wayyyyyy too small. I've always used Shock Absorber bras and always bought my standard bra size. When laid out next to my existing shock absorbers of the same size, there is a definite and obvious difference in the sizing...
Disappointed at having to return it and now will have to wait for stores to reopen as cannot trust the sizing on this product

Terrible sizing

Every bra and bikin top that I own is a 32F and fits me perfectly. I couldn't get this anywhere near fastened. It was a good couple of inches off fastening at the back, and the I couldn't even get the bottom of the bra under my boobs, it only went as low as my nipples. My friend is a 30E, she tried it and couldn't get it on either. Very odd.

Love love love the shock absorber bras! Once I started buying this brand I won't even look at anything else! Usual outstanding quality from the brand so I bought two of them! Only complaint is its a bit fiddly to put on but it's fine as due to its design it does not fall down!

bit like a corset feeling

I am a 32 normally and this was WAY too tight. I would advise anyone to purchase a bigger size than normal. Once on it certainly does do its job.....but i wouldnt want to wear it for too long though...bit like a corset feeling....but in my case it was probably just too small ...

Does what it says...

Always a good fit and great for people like me that don't have your average size. I have tried other brands but Shock Absorber do what it says on the tin and means that running is that little bit more comfortable on the body and on the mind. Be aware though that the rib size is always smaller than usual for extra support, so when you first start to wear them it can be a little hard to do up.

Beware of Size!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2015

The size of the sports bra is not true to your own bra size. If you are purchasing this bra, buy a bigger size. For example, I am and always have been a 32F. I am sure that if this bra had of fit me, I would have probably given a 5 star rating due to the quality of the product. I was disappointed with Amazon as they required additional postage in the region of £6.00 to return this product for a larger size.
