Shock AbsorberChampion S5044 Womens Run Bra

Great design especially for runners
In comparison to my old Shock Absorber Level 2 bra which, although better than a non-sport bra, still allowed a fair degree of bounce when running, this one is a huge improvement. There is absolutely none of sideways movement and everything is neatly held in place. It fits very tightly, there is no bulging over the front, the straps are wide and feel comfortable.Strap length is adjustable in a sufficiently wide range. The cup size is true to the size (34DD in my case), however, the band is a little smaller than a typical 34" bra. It still fits Ok on the last set of hooks and will probably stretch a bit with use, so I won't change it for a larger fit, just mentioning for those who are "in-between" two band sizes, get the larger one.The clasp on the back of the straps is a little tricky to fasten in situ, it's the sort that is often used on bikini tops (symmetrical plastic hooks that are pressed flat and click when closed). It's easy enough to undo it with one hand, but you will need both hands to fasten, which takes some stretching. An easy way is to leave it closed and put the straps over your head, just like a rider back bra.Overall, an excellent design and good quality. It might even improve my speed now there is no loss of energy on all that bounce ;-)

Best Sports Bra
This is by the far the best sports bra I have ever purchased. I not only use it for running but for all the high impact sports that I do and I recommend this to everyone. The bra is very comfortable and keeps everything in place very well, even for those with a large bust.The only thing to watch out for on this sports bra is the back measurement which seems to be smaller than other brands so I would advise you go one size up than your normal sports bras as it can be quite restrictive otherwise. The first bra I purchased was the usual back measurement that I buy and if I'm having a 'fat' day it's very tight and uncomfortable, the second bra I bought I went one size up and that one fits perfectly all the time. I don't have any problems with the clip fastening at the back, it's actually very easy to do.

the bra is ok, but too small
It is a sports bra, so it is supposed to be tight, but this one is so small I can hardly breath.

The racer back pinged iffnqithon twm minuted ofnthe class which wasn’t too bad but left me with a standar bra shape showing ...
This bra is a nightmare. Yes it’s supportive but you need someone to help you do it up and it came undone twice in my gym class. I do a lot of gym 2x class per day and this really does fall below expectations. The racer back pinged iffnqithon twm minuted ofnthe class which wasn’t too bad but left me with a standar bra shape showing under my top bit by 45 minutes through the main strap went and I was left lop sided and embarrassed. Not happy

very comfortable and supportive sports bra
i was looking for a sports bra that was able to effectively support my breasts during jogging/zumba/playing squash/etc and keep them from jumping too much and hurting. this bra is very comfortable to wear and it keeps my breasts in place very well as well; they barely move at all. since the straps on the back are also crossing half way it gives the whole structure more support.the only reason i don't give this bra 5 stars is because i can partially sympathize with other reviewers here who mentioned that it could be a bit difficult to put the bra on. i must say, although it might be a bit awkward the first few times, it is possible to put the bra on on your own, all it takes is a bit of practice and you'll be fine.i don't regret buying this bra at all, in fact, i liked it so much that i bought a second one to wear when the first one is in the wash.

Ordered based on reviews, but I think everyone is different!
I read a lot of reviews on Amazon for this sports bra, many of which suggested to go up a cup and band size. Normally being a 32E in sports bras, I went for the 34F, which arrived today. The reviews weren't right for me! It's too big in the back and the cup!! So, I think everyone is gonna be different with the sizing on this. In a normal bra, I'm a 30E, so I'm gonna have to return and opt for a 32E, which I think will be about right (judging by the one I tried today). I really have struggled to get a good sports bra for playing competitive tennis that is supportive and gives a good shape, and snug but not over-tight on the band. I have a normal one so wanted a racer-back style. This seemed like the perfect choice, BUT will have to see if the normal-sized one fits!!** UPDATE **Mainly updating the review as I know just how hard it is to get a sports bra that fits well!! I got the 30E today, and it fits perfectly! Again, bearing in mind that I'm a 30E in a standard bra, the 32E in this one fits snug but not too tight on the band, and the cups cover well with no spillage around the edges!! I basically just open the clasps, pop it over my head, then fasten it behind my back. This won't be easy for everyone if you're not very flexible...Also, I have found the reviews saying the band/cup comes up small completely wrong for me. If you don't try one on in the shops first, then I'd say go for your usual cup size but go one band size up. That worked for me!! Now I've got the sizing right, I love it!!

The best sports bra I own - Amazing!
I bought this bra after I recently took up running, as I wanted something specifically intended for this kind of exercise. I already own a couple of Shock Absorber bras, but these are both intended for lower intensity exercise, and I tend to wear them on gym equipment such as cross trainers.The first thing to say about this bra is that it is incredibly comfortable. When I first went to put it on it felt like it was going to be very tight, but in fact it just sits snugly on the skin with no discomfort whatsoever. Also, rather than having to pull it over my head like I have to with my other Shock Absorber bras, this one fastens like a normal bra, with an extra clip at the top (which was a little fiddly the first time I tried it on, but I quickly got the knack). It feels incredibly well made, and as for its ability to control any unwanted "bounce" whilst running, it is simply brilliant. It really does support the bust extremely well, without leaving you feeling like you're restricted. I also personally found that the bra runs true to size.Really cannot recommend this highly enough, and I'll definitely be getting another.

Sehr gut, aber nicht perfekt!
Ich habe diesen BH zum Lauftraining (ehem. Leistungssportler) in einer 80 A gekauft.Positiv:- weich, elastisch, nix drückt oder engt ein- tolle Farbe- kein beklemmendes Gefühl bei stärkerer Atmung- auch mit kleinerer Oberweite schmiegt sich der BH, der eigentlich eher ein Bustier ist, gut an; keine Falten etc., grad bei unsymmetrischen Brüsten- bei 1,80m Größe sind die Träger lang genug; max. Einstellung zwar, aber passt noch ausreichendNegativ:Nun ja, nach diesen tollen Rezensionen und Testberichten, dachte ich, ich kriege hier einen BH, bei dem ich während des Trainings gar nicht mehr merke, dass ich Brüste habe! Das Hüpfen und Wackeln ist zwar deutlich reduziert, aber ganz weg eben leider nicht (und so viel hab ich nun auch nicht). Früher hatte ich einen leichten Push up mit Bustier drüber: da war wirklich Ruhe! ;-)) Nun dachte ich, ich brauche nur noch diesen einen hier... Leider nicht.Habe sonst eine 80B, den "shock absorber" jedoch in 80A genommen, da die "Kleinere" ja auch gut abgedeckt sein muss.Die "Anziehprobleme" verstehe ich ehrlich gesagt nicht: Schnalle geschlossen lassen, wie in einen Top reinschlüpfen, BH schließen wie immer. Fertig.Alles in allem, schon einer der Besten, aber bei mir halt nur zu 85%.

Perfectos para pecho grande.
Tuve que ajustar los tirantes porque me apretaban y me costó un poco cogerle el truquillo. Y como no estoy acostumbrada a tener el sujetador agarrado por los tirantes me costó acostumbrarme.En cuanto a sujeción son perfectos. Sufría mucho cuando tenía que saltar en el gimnasio porque tengo mucho pecho y ahora me noto sujeta.Otra tema importante y que me preocupaba es que no me aplastara el pecho, ya que había probado otros y me dejaban una forma muy fea de pecho. Estos quedan muy bonitos puestos.Los acabados se ven de calidad.La talla es la correcta, ni más ni menos.Lo recomiendo 100%.Calidad precio, de momento, un 10.
