Customer Reviews CW-X Xtra Support High Impact Sports Bra

I have tried almost every sports bra out there...from LULULEMON to Under Armour, Nike, and paid so much money only to waste them as there is never the right support, BUT THE CW-X sports bras!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU HAVE TO TRY THEM, The support is perfect, you feel great in these, I even ordered a 2nd one, so please if you have had the years of frustrating searches for the perfect sports bra, LOOK NO FURTHER than this one or this brand!!

Ok, so this bra definitely takes some effort to put on but it is so worth it. It is cross back as opposed to the regular big boob sports bra. This one does NOT chafe and your boobs aren't going ANYWHERE. It took me so long to invest in this bra and now I wonder why. There is no other acceptable sports bra.

These bras are amazing! They are the only kind of running bra I will buy. I wear a 36D, and I have a hard time finding bras that will give me support when I am working out or running. They are a little pricey, but it's worth it because they last so long. I work out 5-6 times a week and these bras hold up well to washing. I usually have to buy one per year, so I have three in my workout clothing rotation. They run pretty true to size as well. Also, I was extremely impressed ordering from Zappos. I got free shipping and my new bra arrived at my house the next day!

This might be a life changing sports bra. I’ve literally been looking for a comfortable, supportive sports bra for 7 years. I’ve been wearing the same sports bras for 7 years during this process. Finally I have found it! Comfy, no itchy seems, holds the boobs nice and tight for trail running. I ordered 3 of these and threw out my 7 year old bras. They were older than my kid.

I LOVE this sports bra. I have tried about every sports bra on the market and this is the only one that provides incredible support and is comfortable enough for me to wear all day. I, as with other reviewers, can be bothered by chafing and never once has that happened with this bra, and I run, box, jump rope, take High Interval training classes, spin and it works for all of that, and more. I am a 36 b/c and find that it fits true to size. I prefer a compression-type bra that holds you in place and this is it. If you are looking for a lighter-type sports bra that gives you more shape or lift--this isn't it. But if you need a bra that can take you through any work out, this is it. Highly recommend. Thank you Zappos for carrying this bra!

This is my go-to sports bra. My bra size is 32E, so I purchase this bra in 34D...and it is SNUG. Really, the band is tight on me on its loosest hooks, so I'd recommend sizing up in the band. I wear this bra for running and jumping, and the snug, compressive fit that this bra gives me means practically ZERO movement. It's like I'm (almost) flat-chested! In a good way! I also like that it comes up a bit higher in the front than most other bras, and so I'm not flashing my cleavage all over while I'm working out. I wash it in the washer and hang it to dry, and I have some that are years old! Good quality.

Super cute sports bra but runs very small. I’m a 36C which is what I ordered and it wasn’t even close to fitting. Order at least one size up if not two sizes to get a good fit.

If your goal is to dislocate your shoulder and twist yourself into knots to put on your sports bra, then this is one for you.

I wear a 38D and so I ordered that size. I use this to run and I feel very supported. Yes it’s a bit tricky to get on and off but that comes with most high support sports bras. I wish it came in more colors. I have the white and black, waiting for the navy blue to come back into stock in my size.

This is the ONLY sports bra that works for me! I am a 30DD/E (but wear a 34DD in this style) and it compresses and supports me when I run. Highly recommend. It does create a 'boob pillow' effect though, as there is no underwire/separation.

I’m a 38DD so it’s hard to find a sport bra that will hold you in place. But this one does. After reading the reviews I took a leap of faith and got this one and I’m glad I did. I’m not a runner or even work out on a regular basis. I got it for gardening. When I’m up and down bending over I needed super support this bra fills the bill. Great product!!!

For ten years I have been wearing CW-X bras. They are FANTASTIC! I just ran a 50 miler and NO CHAFFING. Hallelujah! They are super supportive and I absolutely love them. I tried out a few other brands, but nothing felt like my CW-X. I will never wear another sports bra brand again.

This seems like it would "do the job," if you sure to size up on the band size, BUT the bra I received had many, many wrinkles in the "modesty pads" and I couldn't for the life of me smooth them out. Too bad. It's a compressive/flattening style, at least it was for me.

CW-X is the only bra that I am comfortable working out/running in. I'm a D cup and it's difficult to find a good running bra that I can put on, walk out the door, start my run and not worry about uncomfortable bounce. It's a bit tight going on, but I like the compression once it's settled. No chafing spots. Can't recommend this bra enough for runners with larger breasts.

I've been using this very bra for ten years now, and I decided after ten years that it was high time I bought another. This is by far the best sports bra I've ever tried because the cut is high enough to prevent bounce, the straps are wide enough to not hurt my neck and back, and this new one is adjustable, so it will still fit me if it stretches a bit! It's also breathable and cute. My only request is that it be made in all black!

I ordered my normal size first. I found that I had to use the first hook and that made the closure irritating to me. I opted to order up a size and hook on the innermost hook which provided better comfort.

Attractive style, flattering. Unfortunately, it was way too tight around the band, and I wasn't able to fasten it. The material is very supportive, almost on the verge of being too stiff. If I had a store to go in and try multiple sizes on, I would probably do so, as I think the bra is better made than many other sports bras.

My old sports bra just died (RIP TaTa Tamer) and I had a coupon so thought I’d give this a try. What sold me was I saw another equestrian had reviewed it. Horse riding is no joke on the girls. I am looking for something similar to runners - no movement, don’t care how flattened they may get, just please hold them still. I wear a 34DDD and got the 38DD. It fits great in the cup. The band is a tiny bit loose on the tightest hooks, like if there were a 4th hook that would be perfect, but I think the 36DD would have been too tight. So I would agree that I think it runs a little small. It was ok to get on. You pull it over your head then have to fool with the hooks in the back. I was able to get them attached with only moderate effort. Sometimes I feel like I can’t get a sports bra on without a squad of helpers. I did some jumping up and down at home and things seemed secure. I wore it to the barn and trotted all around for 20 min. I forgot I was wearing it, which basically means it worked. Some other reviews noted it is not padded, so not going to offer you much modesty in a tight top. You can also see all the seams through your top. This will work for me for fall/winter/spring when I’ll be wearing a vest or coat over it. I’ll look for something with more padding for summer.

I'd say the band size is a little small, as I usually wear a 34 in a regular bra, and this fit me in a 36. It's also a major masher, and the fabric doesn't lay super flat -- at least it didn't for me -- inside the bra (ripples). But it's good-looking otherwise, and well-made, just not quite right for me. It would probably really hold you in place.

Agree with Lisa that the old hook was better than the current "bra-style" closure. The new one is much harder to close and bulkier to lay on when you are working out. Bring back the old style closure. But aside from that, have been wearing CWX running bras for about 7-8 years. Have tried others but CWX remains the best so far!

CW-X running bras provide fantastic support with no chafing, but this new model has an inferior hook and eye closure, which does not hold up. The hook is too flimsy and pulls out; I can bend it back with pliers but it will break eventually. Also it is hard to fasten and unfasten. Previous models had a much better large sturdy metal hook and sleeve closure that was also easy to fasten and unfasten.

I'm a 32DDD in regular bras, but 34DD in sports bras. I ordered 34DD in this style and it fit fine in the cup, but because the straps weren't adjustable, there just wasn't enough support.

Super tight for its size. I realize that we larger-busted gals want support, but this is inconsistent with normal bra sizing (and I've been professionally measured) and even sport bra sizing. I suggest sizing up. Others rave about this bra, so I bet if you can find your size it's a great bra. Not something I can deal with via mail, even with Zappos fabulous service.
