Customer Reviews Shock Absorber Run Sports Bra B5044

This is the best running sports bra that I have found. After growing a bit during pregnancy, I had to find a good sports bra to run in. Thanks to Zappos' wonderful return policy, I was able to find the best there is. The Moving Comfort Luna still jiggled way too much. The Moving Comfort Fiona was very comfortable and nursing compatible, but I still jiggled (kept it for low impact workouts). I just took away one star for comfort because I have to use a mirror to clip the top back. It runs true to size, although I was thinking when I first put it on that it would be too small. I am so glad that it is perfect!

Great sports bra, reduces bounce greatly. I'm a 36E and this is one of the best sports bra I've found. It does compress the breasts some and doesn't separate much, but the reason I buy a sports bra is to hold me in place. This bra does that. It's not a heavy bra, but does have lining/coverage/seems so no one knows how cold it is in the gym. It does a great job wicking the sweat away so I stay comfortable not clammy. It is a halter style, but it's not difficult to get on and off even though you have to reach behind your head to unclasp the top strap. The only complaint I have is it's really expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for.

As close to perfect as I've found. This bra is more attractive than other high intensity sports bras I've worn. It doesn't completely eliminate bounce but it's one of the better I've found. I'm 34 full C and it fit exactly as expected. I'm very happy with it and will be ordering more.

I was skeptical about this bra as I have difficulty finding sports bras in which I can be comfortable, but not only is it comfortable, but it also lives up to its name, shock absorber.

This bra is my new favorite! I have 4 Natori and they are good but this is much more 'stable', ya know what I mean? Its just so darn expensive that 1 will have to do for now. At least until my mom sends me another Zappos gift card! Thanks mom! ;)

This is a very supportive sport bra for full busted women. I have always had problems finding a bra small enough around with a large enough cup size. This one is great!

I loved the style, but need a size up (cup size that is). I generally wear a D, but am going DD.

I am 34 dd but I ordered 34 d and it's perfect. I am a sprinter and I used to wear two bras to hold them together. This bra works great. Happy with style. Highly recommend it.

Love. I had a baby three months ago and was struggling to find a bra that would support my nursing boobs but not smash them and hurt them. I'm measuring 32" around under the bust and about 40" at the largest part and I got a 38F since that's the biggest cup size in this style. It's soft and comfortable but a little hard to get on. That doesn't bother me though. I jogged a little in it and still felt like I was jostled a little too much, but I'm definitely going to use it for other activities. Could just be that I'm extra sensitive since I'm nursing.

This is obviously a great bra. It fit great (34D), clearly had no bounce, and looked really sharp too. I am returning it only because I chose the Moving Comfort Juno instead. I liked them both but the Juno was less..

As a 32F I have always avoided high impact activities like running until a friend recommended this bra and she's right. No bouncing at all! The band runs a little smaller on this style than on other shock absorber bras but a 34DD works perfectly.

I started training for my first 5K and overheard another lady talking about this bra and figured I would check it out. What's the worst that can happen? Just returning it. I LOVE THIS SPORTS BRA! Nothing moves in this bra. I wear it to Jazzercise and I wear it running. Love it. It may be pricy but it's worth it.

Order a cup size larger. Back/shoulder hook is a little difficult to snap. If you can't reach your shoulder blades, don't purchase this one. Good support, nice colors.

These sports bras are great. I love the lack of padding and the good support. I normally wear a 30 inch band and like my bra bands tight, but can barely hook a 32 band in this style. Next time, I'll buy a 34 band as per the manufacturer's instructions. I've downgraded my review because of the band.

I can't speak to this bra's 'shock absorber' ability while running because I ordered it right before going on vacation. I wanted a comfortable bra to bring with me that wasn't underwire. This bra is extremely soft material and very comfortable. The V back straps take a little getting used to and I haven't tried to adjust them at all, but the material is very soft on the skin.

Good things: Wicks moisture well, quite supportive, racer back doesn't show under tanks, holds up really well through a million washings. Not-so-good things: Have no idea why that clip thing is in the back - I've never undone it and it would be impossible to fasten if it were undone, the stripes on this bra show through clothes, runs small, not as supportive for running as Moving Comfort Juno bra, boring colors.

I wear a 34DD and this bra is good for cycle, boot camp, weight work. Not so great for running - Moving Comfort's Juno bra can't be beat there. A few comments - the stripes and the seams on this bra show through everything; the fit is VERY tight; I don't understand why the top, plastic fastener is there, I've never undone it (it's impossible to reach anyway); I wish it came in more fun solid colors; and I don't care for the appearance of all the plastic loop things that adjust the shoulder straps (these show in certain racerback shirts). That said, I wear this bra quite a bit and it has washed well.

I am normally a 36D and since I want full coverage, ordered the 36DD and 34DD, ended up keeping the 34DD since the 36DD was a little loose on me and I assume it will loosen as I keep using it. Very good support though for the gym, will have to check how it tests with running outside.

I have ordered 2 of these bras in different sizes. I swear the sizing is way off. The band on the 32F was so tight I thought it'd break a rib. Yet on the 32E (which is supposed to be a smaller cup size), it fit perfectly. I have yet to run in this bra, but it seems to hold everything in. I really hope it's worth the price, but it is cute (purple/teal combo).

Excellent support despite the fact the European-style cups did not fit my wide breasts. Easy to get on and off, too. Too bad I have to send it bad. :(

While I feel that this would be a very supportive bra, it's clearly not built for wide-shouldered women. I wear a 36DD and have pretty large shoulders, and the amount that the straps pulled and pinched my back and shoulders was extremely uncomfortable.

Painful. Band is REALLY small. If you plan on breathing during your workout then definitely size up. I will not be re-ordering because I don't think the fit is right anyway. I bought the classic too which fit better but was defective, shoulder strap detached when trying on.

I wanted to love this, it seems so sturdy. I do crossfit and am now 19 weeks pregnant, and needing extra support for growth. My pre-pregnancy normal bra size was 32dd, I am now in a 34dd. I ordered the 34f and couldn't even get it to go low enough to fully go under my chest and attach the clasp, even on loosest strap setting. Returned it for a 36f thinking that's gotta do it...go it on, but really snug on loosest setting (had to lift girls into it) and tried for 5 minutes to clasp the back before I gave up. I am pretty fit and although I know my body is changing, there's no way I am a 36f or will go any higher, especially at this price. Alas, back to my moving comfort rebound, where a new 36dd works with room to grow (was previously in 34dd of it).

This sports bra really held the girls in. A little too much though. I ordered my size and it was really snug which is a good thing. But while my workout continued it felt too restrictive and too much fabric. I love the way I didn't bounce but I hated that it sort of felt maternal...I wear a 34DD but augmented. and I only wear a sportsbra for a top so I like my bras to be nice enough to show off. For the price I would not buy it anymore and wished I could return it. I found Moving Comfort far more appealing in the looks department and it held my girls in also without being restrictive.

Like many of the other reviewers noted, this bra runs really small. Especially the band. I could not get it hooked. The cups were of a really thin material and not very modest. I returned it. I also purchased the Moving Comfort Juno which I like much better (and it was less expensive).
