Champion Ultimate Run Shock Absorber Sports Bra, Maximum Support for Cardio Sports, Breathable, Quick-Dry, Fully Adjustable, Back Fastening

This is actually the second time I’ve bought this bra — and I went through Amazon this time because it was cheaper and arrived quicker than ordering from the official site. Massive bonus! I first bought this Champion training bra about 6 years ago, and it’s served me so well. I used it regularly for running and workouts, and it held up brilliantly over time. I was honestly impressed by how long it lasted considering how much I wore it. The support is amazing — especially if, like me, you’ve got a bigger bust. I’ve struggled in the past with sports bras that look the part but just don’t offer the right support. This one does. It keeps everything in place, doesn’t feel tight or restrictive, and it’s really comfortable to wear for long periods. I love that it fastens in two places — both at the back and also at the bottom band — so it gives that extra secure feel. You can also adjust the straps and the back, which is great for getting the perfect fit. Tip for anyone unsure on sizing: Go to the Champion website and use their fit guide. You just put in your measurements and they suggest the best size. That’s what I did the first time and I just reordered the same one here on Amazon. Fit was spot on again. It’s hard to fault this bra. Great quality, high-impact support, comfortable, long-lasting, and well-priced — honestly, I’ll probably end up getting a third one before this one wears out!

The best sports bra on the market in my opinion. A really good price.

the bra is superbly constructed. does not stretch. wide padded straps which are supportive and done dig in. chest area does not bounce even on very high impact. very stable and doesn't shift at all. one of the best running bras I've had. it has a hook just behind your neck/shoulders as well as the normal one mid back so this distribute the impact and weight of the bust when running, and adds support. I really recommend to any big bust ladies. The downside. since it is non stretchy, parts which are styled tightly or too small cannot fit right. I've been medium 34 back for all my life and this one I had to buy a back extender. I imagine they make the back strap very tight to support the bust without shifting during high impact but to me it was not comfortable at all. next, the shoulder straps. normally you would have a sort of buckle that you make shorter or longer by pulling. but instead this one has a series of hooks and the shoulder strap is hooked into the loop. with the right length. this means the shoulder straps don't slide to longer length as you run. then, in the back, as well as the normal doing up hooks around your back, there is another clasp between your shoulder blades to hoist the bousim from behind your neck. like a racer style. this is VERY supportive sounds great right? well the issue for me is that the clasp behind the neck, is sort of between the top of your shoulder blades. maybe a bit lower. and it's virtually impossible to reach to do it up. I have no idea how you do it. and if you leave it undone, then the shoulder straps will slide down or become unhooked, leaving your bousam flapping and flailing and half the bra falls down. in conclusion, top marks for supportive and non bounce and comfort for huge tiddiees. but low marks for overall construction - and extremely unsuitable for anyone with flexibility issues, shoulder joint issues, older folk, people with short arms, due to the difficult location of the rear upper clasp.

I must first say that I have a love/hate relationship with Shock Absorber bras generally. I hate them because I don't find their "compression fit" very comfortable. I have decent sized boobs & they just squash everything into your body which I don't like. However I have to admit they work in terms of stopping boobs bouncing around so to that extent I am growing to love them. I really didn't like this bra when it arrived. As well as the usual "squash factor" it's 2nd fastening is a plastic clip affair like you would find on a swim suit located so high between the shoulder blades its almost impossible to fasten. ( and you can't front fasten and swivel) However I decided to try it out and I must say it does work well. As always with shock absorber the fit on back size is small so think about going up a size on that- cup size is fine though, it's supposed to fit tight, that is how it works. Regarding comfort I am in 2 minds- it's tight, you will notice when you put it on & it won't feel comfortable. But once you are wearing it and while running you just won't notice it. In short it is comfortable to run in which is pretty much the point So I am growing to love this bra, slowly, very slowly. I had to force myself to give this bra 5*s which I did because it's well made and very fit for purpose but it doesn't make my "heart sing" if you know what I mean! Hope that helps ladies

I don't usually write reviews, but regarding this product in terms of sizing, the item sizing seems totally off the mark! Ordered 32C and I would say sizing was more like a 28B! Way way too small! The band does not even fit across the chest, impossible for clasp to meet. The cup size is way too small and narrow. My boobs were literally squished in all over the place and spilling out at the sides and top. Not enough fabric to protect and cup the whole breadth of the breast. Not comfortable or fit for purpose. I have always used 'shock absorbers' for running and they have always been be brilliant. Support in the right places, good contact, comfortable no bounce and pain free especially near monthly cycle where Betty Boo feels a little on the sore and tender side. Description advises order your regular normal size which I did and it's fair to say 'shock absorber' sizing is way off the mark. Very disappointed. I usually buy bras from M&S, JL and my usual 32c no matter where I buy have always fit. I hope the images supplied will help with your decision about purchasing this product. I did read reviews before purchasing and positive seemed to out weigh the negatives. Maybe, I got a faulty garment that slipped through quality control? It was promptly returned!

Happy with this purchase. Always use this brand. Good quality and fit.

This was a good design with strong support. I ordered for running and know it would have been perfect had the underband fit been correct. I could tell as soon as I took it out the wrapping it was going to be tight. I ordered a 34F - the cup size was good, the clasp and hook and eye easy to get in/out. Thick comfortable straps. I had to send back because the underband was an inch too small. I managed to close this but it would not have been comfortable to run in. Gutted as I really liked the bra. If you are on the petite side of a 34, this may fit and if a standard 34, a size 36 could be better. At the time I ordered, the price point was great, however the size 36 was showing 3 times the price therefore didn't reorder.

I've been looking for sports bras for so long but never finding any that would feel right. I'd got reluctant on getting this since this item has many mixed reviews and its not a cheap item at all (it actually cost me more than my trainers). When arrived and at the first look I was distress, for the material was very thin and malleable and I immediately thought it would feel like a swim suit (clingy and non supportive) but thankfully I was wrong. I got it on and it felt fine, it gives excellent support and I didn't really quite expect it to be so fit. The upper clasp was a bit of a struggle at first but soon you get used to doing it behind your neck without thinking too much (see if you can put your hands behind your head and touch the point below the neck almost between the shoulder blades, if you can, then it will be fine). It does look good after you put in on(I browsed many pieces that simply were off-putting just by the look of them) and the material feels very good on the skin, no rough edges around the seams. Since my size is quite the average, I really don't get any problems with the straps coming off or undone, since i really don't carry that extra volume/tension on my chest than a bigger sized chest would, I realized that many of the bad reviews i read came from people that have small backsize and a large cupsize. The only thing that bothered me about this bra, was that after wearing for half a day it made my upper back area (cervix/neck/shoulders) very tense and sore but I guess its because of the upper clasp which is novelty for my back. Also the bra sizing was strange to me. And this was my main struggle with buying the item. So be sure you know your true size! So after a lot of measuring I finally got my SA size 36C (but after arrival and putting it on, I've been pointed that I looked squeezed into it and perhaps I should have gone with a 36D. -I don't feel that AT ALL - but I suppose if I had a way to try them on before buying I would have tried a larger size to be safe - but in normal bra sizes I'm usually a 38B, so what is going on with these sizes? I'm very comfortable with this bra, but in the back of my mind i'm still thinking that my bra size might be wrong.)
