I love this bra for running and for Crossfit. It provides good support yet is still comfortable. It's lightweight and doesn't chafe or get soggy. If you want a bra that provides zero bounce, this might not be it. If your priority is zero show through in cold/wet conditions, this might not be your bra, either. And if you want a bra that gives you a profile like an everyday bra (ie, definition between), this probably isn't it either. (If that's your goal, you might like the Natori underwire sports bra). But it's very comfortable, not a total 'uniboob,' and it does. not. slip. The straps are designed to anchor or hook into place, rather than using adjustable sliders which can and do slip. The straps and band are also sufficiently smooth and soft to be very comfortable. And unlike many racerbacks which are torture to get out of when you are hot and sweaty, this one is easy. I plan to buy more.

Great bra! I am a 32DD, and I'd been wearing Enell sports bras for 2 years. They were the only ones to offer me support for my large breasts! I am so glad I found this bra. I love the support, and it's easy to put on (most super-supportive bras are a challenge to put on), and I love the racer-back. I can wear it with T-backed running tops! Highly recommended.

Oh my! This bra is AMAZING. No doubling up necessary. I am now a 32F after breastfeeding my kiddo and this bra is perfect. The multiple hooks in the back and the great support in the front force me to have good posture and keep my breasts up and secure. There is no bounce whatsoever when I jump around. I could hardly believe it. Well worth the money, especially since I was wearing 2 less expensive sports bras that were doing absolutely nothing for me. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It looks great under a t-shirt or on its own.

Finally found the bra that can hold me in place while running. I used to wear three sports bras at one time. This bra is great, comfortable, seems to hold shape after washing as well. Will be purchasing one in white soon.

I really am impressed by this bra. I have always had an extremely difficult time finding a supportive running/aerobics bra for my large 32 DD/DDD breasts. Ordered a 32 DD and it fits great. Really stays in place.

Best sports bra I've ever owned. I'm a 36DD/DDD and I run 4-5 times a week. Other bras have left me sore and raw. I was so happy with the fit, feel and support, I bought another one and highly recommend it - I've found my sport bra!

Amazing! Most supportive sport bra I have ever owned. I am a 32E so it's hard to find, especially a racer back one. It is easy to put on and comfortable. And no under wire. Bottom band is super tight, I ordered a 32 and 34 but I liked the tightness of the 32. It's worth the money.

Seems well made but the band runs so small. I always wear a 32DD and am returning for a 34E. I bought another shock absorber bra and the band on it is 2 inches bigger! I will be sending a photo to the company.

I love this sports bra! I am a 34DD and used to wear 3 sports bras at once to get the support I wanted. Now I can only wear one and it's so great! I am training for a 1/2 marathon and have had no problems with chafing or anything. My only minor complaint is it can be a little tricky to hook it in the back, but still I love it. I also love that it is racerback when many bigger support bras are not.

This is the bra if you like to work out hard and have huge breasts. I have had this issue my entire life and this is the first brand that has kept me in. Love Shock Absorber. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Great bra. I trained and ran a 1/2 marathon in this bra and it was amazing. No chafing and very little movement. It also really lifted me up so it looks good on too. I am a 36 DD. I will buy again. The Moving Comfort bras are also very good for big chested girls.

After trying many different sports Bras, this is the only one that actually works for high impact activities. Best purchase I have ever made!

This bra seems like it would be fantastic to run in if you have huge boobs. I have 34/36 Ds and it seemed very supportive and comfortable. The only problem was they shipped me a 36DD instead of 36D. The DD was just a little too big.

This is a great sports bra! Like other reviews I did find it difficult to get on, but once on it holds my girls (34 E) in place very well. It's the only bra I wear to run in. I like it so much I ordered a second one!

Best sports bra ever! I used to wear 2 under armor bras for running and still didn't get the support this bra provides. The underneath strap is very tight (I went down to a 34 from a 36 thinking it would be really stretchy but it is not)! Order normal size.

Good solid bra for the heavy chested. A bit challenging to get into and it rolls up on me under the breast a bit, but overall I like it.

Having a larger bust, it is always difficult to find a sports bra that is the correct size, let alone supportive. The Shock Absorber sports bra comes in larger sizes and is super supportive. The dual closure system in the back is helpful, however it is somewhat difficult to snap by yourself. I would highly recommend this sports bra for those with larger busts looking for support during active workouts.

This gives good support until the straps pop off of the hooks half way through your run, and you are forced to walk slowly the entire way home. It's poorly designed. It would be OK if the adjustable strap hooks wouldn't slip out. The arm straps cut into my shoulders.

Well made but not supportive enough for G-cup. Still a lot of bounce if running or doing high impact workout. Returning.

Like many other reviewers of this bra, I have always had to wear two bras to go running to try to get the support I need. I don't make a lot of money, and I was very skeptical about spending this much money on a bra. I just went out running with it for the first time, and I don't regret a penny I spent on it. Did my boobs bounce while I was running? What boobs? I didn't even think about them (they normally hurt when I go running from all the bouncing). It was amazing. The bra is so comfortable. And I like that it provides a little more coverage than other sports bras I've worn. There's no inappropriate cleavage, so I don't feel awkward just wearing it by itself on a hot day. I highly recommend this bra to anyone who is serious about finally having the support they need for running.

I love this bra! I used to wear a regular bra, 2 sports bras, and a tank top with a built in bra. I cannot believe this one bra supports me so well. It is so comfortable! No bouncing, no pain! Best sports bra!

I love this bra! It's so comfortable. So worth the money. I purchased it because I needed extra support due to a health issue which made working out very uncomfortable. I read the reviews before I purchased it and thought maybe it wasn't for me since most of the reviews were from women who were big busted. I am a b cup and can honestly say it's for every size. I am ready to purchase my second one.

This is a great bra, very supportive for running. It doesn't rub or chafe and is very adjustable so you get a great fit. I definitely recommend! I usually get a 34DDD but the band was a bit small. I exchanged for a 36DD and it was perfect.
