I love this bra!!!! It is easily adjustable in the straps and back to tighten up to minimize bounce while running. Plus there is no super padding in it. I hate some of the high impact bras that add an extra half inch of layering to create a mega boob. This bra is great.

I am really happy with this bra. I have struggled to find anything as good as the old, pre-Brooks acquisition, Moving Comfort racerback bras, and this one finally works. I was skeptical about the adjustable straps and still am not convinced that they will work long-term, but this is a great bra for running, tennis, and other high-impact activities. I am a 32DD in regular bras and a 34DD works great in this one. No molded cups, which I prefer for consistent support. The racerback is comfortable, and the adjustable band makes it easier to get on and off. Just ran a 10K in humid and hot conditions with no chafing and no issues.

Terrible. I don't know who they made these for but they are way short in length. Could not even get them down to cover my boobs! I am 5'*' and these should have fit.

This is a cute and comfy bra but not very supportive for high impact activities like running. I have two other brooks running bras, the older Juno model which is great and has minimal to no bounce when I run, and the new Juno bra which is good for training days as it has more bounce. I'm a 36DD and with this bra I would need another one to wear along with it if i was to run in it.

Definitely runs small in cup and band....go up a size if you order it! I can't review it otherwise....I returned it for size and kept another bra I bought instead.

Order a size up. I think I might have liked this bra but unfortunately the girls were not even close to fitting into their receptacles. Too bad, it was a nice price too.

I'm 5'7", 34D and have had trouble finding a sports bra that has enough support but doesn't feel like I'm being strangled by the bottom band (rib cage area). Finally I found this bra. The straps adjust for better support and it is so very comfortable. I doesn't chafe either. I was so happy to find this bra I bought 3 of them.

I have the Brooks Juno and the Brooks Fiona bras in 34DD and they fit great and perform well. But when I received the Rebound Racer Bra, I thought it looked small so I compared it to my other Brooks Bras. It was small, more like a 32D.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I absolutely love this sports bra! I used to have sports bras from Shock Absorber, and although they did the job, they looked and felt like a harness. The Brooks Rebound Racer feels much softer and more comfortable, while still holding everything in place. I really need a high impact bra for running, and in this bra there's absolutely no movement (seriously, everything jiggles when I run except my two girls).
It also looks good and I love the racer-back, I won't have to worry the straps might slip down my shoulder because I hate that! The straps are connected with very strong Velcro in the front, I'm a little worried that this might not be strong enough over time, but for now it has worked well and survived laundry too. I had to make the straps a little longer to make it fit well.
Some reviewers mentioned you might need to order a size larger. I used the measuring info provided and measured myself exactly with a tape measure. It came out as 36C, so that's what I ordered and it fits perfectly.
I liked this bra so much I ordered a second one right away.

This is one of my two favorite sports bras! (My other favorite is the Brooks/Moving Comfort Juno bra). As a 34D, I have a decent amount to keep in place when working out. This bra fits well underneath my most fitted tops, and does a good job of holding my ladies in place. I have worn this bra through two Ironman Triathlons, as I prefer this one for drying quickly (or more quickly than Juno). Love it!

I love this bra! As a breastfeeding mom to an infant you really can't beat it . Whenever I come home from a run the baby is clamoring to be fed. I don't know what I would do with out it! The band size runs a little small but that's fixed by sizing up.

I was on the hunt for the perfect sports bra forever when I found the MC Fiona style. I still wear those regularly, but most fitness tank tops are small racerback cuts. They look weird with a traditional style bra.I am a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, so I'm always on display. These sports bras are perfect. They hold everything in place, but aren't uncomfortable. The adjustable straps keep from digging in to the shoulders, like so many other brands do. They hold up well too. I've had my Fiona's for over 2 years and they're still going strong. Worth the money.

I love this sports bra. I am a true 32DD and this fits perfectly. I am a runner and this provides great support so that I do not feel like I am bouncing everywhere, it is tight enough to feel snug but not so tight that I can hardly breathe. I used to have to wear two bras - usually a small super tight one and then another one in a different style for more support on top. I can wear this alone or with a tank top that has a shelf bra.

I've been looking for a new sports bra and I'm very happy I tried this one. It's very supportive-no bounce-and comfortable. I like the adjustable straps. As with many sports bras, it's a little work to get on and off but it's doable. I ordered a second one in another color because I liked this one so much.

I'm a nursing mom, crossfitter, and runner. I love the moving comfort sports bras with the velcro straps that allow for easy nursing. These sports bras are the best I've ever tried...the straps adjust and the back closure adjusts to allow for changing bodies. I popped a back closure clasp on my last moving comfort sports bra after 6 months...hopefully this one lasts a while longer!

Love this sports bra, new personal favorite. I have several and they're holding up well (and hold me up well, I have D cup and run a lot, so support is important). Sizing is good as well. Super happy. Have 5 of these!

This bra came highly recommended for support for larger sizes. I agree with that part but that's about it. I wore it and liked the support so I bought another one. 1. Getting it on and off is so complicated with the hooks and the Velcro. 2. On both bras the hooks eventually became warped and bent and I just couldn't keep fixing it anymore. At first I thought it was my fault, but when it happened again to a third bra, I realized that its really a faulty design. I can't wear these bras anymore.

Obviously not made for large breasted women. Felt like I was in a binding apparatus. Difficult to get off once you're in it.

Two things I did not really like, here: The first is that the "subtle" padding is really just that there are two layers of material, not just one. It may be enough for *ahem* less bright headlamps, but it did not work for me. The second is that it's harder to get into than I would like - The clasp back is great, but it still is a workout getting in and out. I like the soft Velcro, it was not irritating, but, it did make it hard to get the straps through the holes, it wanted to stick to the fabric instead of just go through the buttonholes. Also, I do not feel my torso is overly long, more than half of me is leg, but the straps did not really feel like they were long enough for this to remain firmly in place during a workout. The shortness of the straps also contributed to how difficult it was for me to get the ends through the holes, fighting to have enough material and keep it from sticking to itself made my hands hurt a bit. I love the design, except that it's hard to get into, and the fabric is nice and thick, not thin like Old Navy's sports bras, and the contrast of the grey and hot pink is really pretty and girly. But this just did not work for me. I like the styles with more substantial padding, the Urban X-Over from this same company is perfect, and I like the Maia, too. Both of those are also much easier to get into and out of.

Love this bra! I'm a 32D, and this are one of the only bras that is truly supportive and comfortable for running. I wish that some came in solid colors, but the quality is fantastic.

This was an awkward fit for me, and the adjustable straps were barely long enough to get the whole Velcro (does not scratch you, so it is comfortable!) strip through the buttonhole. The padding is thin, I felt that I still had some show through. The hooks are nice, but did not ease my ability to get in and out of it. The sizing seemed right - I am 5'9", 135 pounds, and wear a VS 32D currently, and should probably be in a 34C. I ordered a 34D in this, allowing for some fluctuation in weight this winter. The band size was fine, this covered my torso well, but the shortness of the straps, and having to struggle to get the strap ends through the buttonholes, and that it is still as difficult for me to get into as a regular sports bra, it is not going to work for me. It looks nice, the contrast between the grey and hot pink is really pretty and girlie.

My absolute favorite for running, out of the dozens that I've tried. They are a little tight to get on, especially at first, but they are absolutely worth it due to the stability and comfort they offer. As a 32DD I never have any luck with the S/M/L sizing, so I love that these come in actual bra sizes. The "cups" are shaped but without underwire, or those annoying little pads that shift around every time you do laundry. The straps are very adjustable, which allows for a perfect fit with no chafing.

This bra holds the girls in place while exercising but it still has the age-old problem of creating the uniboob look. Also, it is comfortable for an hour or two, but if worn all day it begins to feel too tight. No, I don't have the wrong size. Seems to be the nature of jog bras.

This is a great high-impact bra. It's definitely tight and secure. If you're looking for a loose yoga bra, this one is more than you want. I use it for CrossFit workouts and it does the trick for my 32DD frame. Plus, it has the bonus of being cute. :)

I have quite a few of the Moving Comfort Fiona bras and I wanted to try a racerback. I love this bra! It's the first racerback I've ever worn that hasn't resulted in a headache or neck tension! It's a big snug to put on, especially being a 36DD, but it is so worth the effort! Perfect for all activities, including high impact like running or Insanity!
