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.

I'm glad I didn't listen to them

Size: 32CColour: WhiteVerified Purchase

I've read loads of reviews saying to go up a back size ect. I'm glad I didn't listen to them. I was measured at marks and Spencer's when I was 13 and I was a 32c. I'm now 31 so I thought just in case my size had changed ( it didn't appear so ) I would get measured again. I got measured again and I'm still a 32c howevever in Victoria secrets I am 32dd two other places said 32c ( so I assume Victoria secret cup sizes are smaller ) Anyhow they all agreed on the 32 back. I brought this bra and did I totally have difficulty getting it on. Once you figure this out its something you don't forget. The bra fit me perfectly. It's amazing, I'd given up on gym in teenage years as all the movement with my breasts just felt uncomfortable. Prior to this I loved sports I was on all the trans hockey rugby ect. I really wish somebody had told me of these bras sooner. They are amazing, I actually want to get another one to sleep in they are really comfortable. My chest doesn't feel heavy. I would recommend these for all women even if just for sleep ! Maybe some women are having issues with the sizeing because they are currently wearing the wrong size ? I don't know but for me, this bra is a keeper.

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 🤣

Für mich der Beste unter den Sport-BHs

Reviewed in Germany on 17 January 2018

Verified Purchase

Bisher habe ich Sport-BHs immer im Fachhandel gekauft, gerade weil ich große Brüste habe und davon ausgegangen bin, dort die beste Auswahl und Beratung zu bekommen. Und ich habe schon viele davon ausprobiert. Dann stieß ich beim Stöbern nach Sport-Bekleidung hier im Netz auf diesen BH und die vielen positiven Bewertungen und dachte, ich probiere es mal aus. Das Ergebnis: Dies ist der beste Sport-BH, den ich je hatte, und zwar mit Abstand!

Verunsichert hatten mich die widersprüchlichen Aussagen zu Größe und Passform. Nach langen Überlegungen habe ich mich für die Größe entschieden, die ich sonst auch trage, das ist 85 E. Die Unterbrustweite ist erstmal eng, aber weiter sitzt der vor wenigen Wochen im Fachhandel gekaufte Sport-BH auch nicht, und sie geben ja alle noch etwas nach. Die Körbchengröße ist bei mir genau richtig, die Brüste werden voll umschlossen und gut komprimiert.

Ein bisschen Übung braucht man, um mit dem Schließmechanismus klar zu kommen, aber wenn man es einmal raus hat, geht es eigentlich ganz leicht. Der Sitz dieses BHs ist einfach perfekt, nichts wackelt, drückt, scheuert oder rutscht, selbst beim Laufen nicht! Durch die zwei Verschlüsse entsteht Zug in verschiedenen Richtungen mit einem hervorragenden Halt, den ich so noch bei keinem anderen BH hatte (weshalb ich bisher beim Laufen zum Beispiel über dem Sport-BH immer noch ein Sport-Bustier trug - das ist jetzt überflüssig geworden).

Das alles noch dazu zu einem aus meiner Sicht sehr günstigen Preis, ich habe für Sport-BHs sonst deutlich mehr ausgeben müssen. Ich bin total begeistert, gebe sehr gern die volle Punktzahl und bestelle gleich noch einen.

Excellent sport bras

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 September 2020

Love these bras! Tried other brands and keep coming back to the Shock Absorber brand. This is my third one in this style. Love them because they stay in place during exercise, fit comfortably, no fiddly pads that keep coming out in the wash and they wear well. Purchased my first one about 6 yrs ago and it is still going, barely looks worn. Purchased another two so I can have one for each day of the week that I exercise. Its more expensive than other brands but it is money well spent!!

Only downside, my three bras are all black and silver. Wish there were more sizes available in the coloured ones.

Best sports bra I've ever used.

I'm an E/F and finding something that holds me in without discomfort whilst exercising has been difficult. Have spent so much money on different types of sports bras and can say you really do get what you pay for. This is by far the best one I have ever worn and I dont buy anything else now, this one was my third purchase. It's the only bra I can run in where my chest does not budge at all.

The adjustable straps and clasps can be a little fiddly to begin with but once you have adjusted to your frame it will very rarely need adjusting again.

Really good price on Amazon and far cheaper than buying in shop.

Great running bra but make sure you order the right size!

Size: 38BColour: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

I had been looking for a decent running bra to replace my old one and having taken into consideration all the recommendations to go a size up and a cup size down, I ordered size 38B (I'm normally a 36C). The fit is on the tight side, as it should be, but not so tight that I can't breathe or fasten it up easily. The bra does its job and I don't notice it when I am running. I'm glad I followed the advice!

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.
