Brooks Women's Scoopback 2.0 Sports Bra for High Impact Running, Workouts & Sports with Maximum Support

This is my most comfortable sports bra, including other Brooks bras. I love that it does not need to go over the head and all parts of it are soft and stretchy. The shoulder straps adjust in a cool and easy way. The edges of the front, underarm, and back are wide and stretchy and create smoothness rather than bulges. The lilac color is pretty too, not garish.

Runs small. The molded cups from all the Brooks bras are my favorite so far and this one is the first that seems like the band will not stretch out and has adjustable straps with a unique adjustment style the works well.

This is the updated version of the Brooks Dare. The earlier version had shoulder straps that were similar to the ones on everyday bras, except a little wider. However, the straps were slippery and didn't maintain adjustment. As you wore the bra, the straps go longer and longer. In addition, the straps were stretchy like a regular bra, but too stretchy for a sport bra. I ended up using the 1.0 as an everyday bra and for that purpose, it worked fine. Well, Brooks tried to fix the problem straps from the 1.0 by switching to a hook and loop system and straps with no stretch. This should have been a great solution. However, the straps are WAY. TOO. SHORT. I have mine in the longest setting and the shoulder strap is painfully too short. I took the bra off after 20 minutes, before I even started my workout. I am 5'6" with a slightly short torso. I have never in my life experienced this problem with a bra. Since I already cut the tags and can't return the bra, I plan attempt altering by adding replacement bra straps (currently on order). I doubt they will be secure enough for sports use, but maybe the bra can be salvaged as an everyday bra. Other than the strap issue, the bra is basically the same as the 1.0 version except that the rib band is a little wider.Brooks company if you actually read reviews (doubtful, but can't blame me for trying): please bring back the Fiona bra. It was the gold standard of sports bras and nothing that has come after was even close in quality. The material was less hot than the Dare, the fit was better, and the straps were easily adjusted but also stayed pu.

I wear this all the time. It is so comfortable and the straps do not cut into my shoulders. Took a while for it to come but the product is great.

I was so disappointed my sports bra was discontinued and replaced with this. Wow, I was surprised. Super comfortable and soft. Supports well. The straps are comfy too. The fabric seemed a bit cheap at first, but I really like the feel of it on. I am a 36C and this was true to size.

Brooks did so many things right with this bra design. I wanted to make it work, but I learned the bra band will quickly give me uncomfortable red marks. For me, this problem does not seem to have anything to do with fit. Rather, it is the flimsy nature of the material that causes the band to fold half-over to the outside within minutes of putting it on. I noticed that some other reviewers had the same problem with the band, and yet surprisingly one reviewer says she experienced no roll-over. So, I‘m not sure if these different experiences are attributable to different bodies, or if the fabric is different with different colors? (I got the navy with the gold straps). I thought at first the roll-over just causes a minor cosmetic problem with the band looking a little goofy. But I quickly learned the rolled-over fabric creates the red marks. I was still uncertain whether to return this item, and here is where I see another commonality between my experience and other reviewers: There was make-up smeared on the inside of this bra (almost certainly foundation). The fact that the make-up came out easily with soap is not actually reassuring because I infer it means the bra wasn‘t sanitized after being worn. Another reviewer here also got a dirty product. Receiving a bra in this condition creates a dilemma because I‘ve always assumed that I should not wash a clothing item before I‘ve tried it on and decided to keep it. But no way will I try on a bra that I know has been worn by someone else w/o a cleaning. IMHO, there should be a strict protocol of either sending new un-tried bras or else professionally cleaning them.

I am loving this bra. It is very easy to make adaptations and is very comfortable.

Good fit, works well, been looking for a bra like this for years.
