Customer Reviews Brooks Fiona Medium-Impact Adjustable Sports Bra (B-DD) | Moving Comfort

Very comfort sport bra. Holds you in place but still comfortable.

I bought two of these. The description of this bra - printed on the tag as well as on the product page - says it has molded cups. It doesn't have molded cups; it's soft and unstructured. I was specifically looking for something with molded cups because they feel more substantial than other types of sports bras. I was very disappointed that the bra was soft and not actually molded, but I tried it anyway. It does the job and I have no bounce when I run. No chafe, either, on six miles. So I decided to keep them. I just wish the fabric was thicker and the description supplied by Brooks/Moving Comfort was not misleading.

I've always worn this make style sports bra; however, this is the first one since Brooks took over. It seems like the fabric has changed resulting in more give and movement. The bra felt good when trying it on, but it does not perform as well.

This is a good all around support bra. It is difficult to find a back close bra that does not have to go over your head. I like that it is true bra sizing not S-M-L. Sizing is very accurate. The downside is that the shoulder straps do not adjust very much.

The right size and color makes all the difference. I had previously ordered this in the white/gray color and one band size up. I was not happy with the fit. I exchanged it for the purple one in a smaller band size, and I am much happier with the bra! My sole complaint about this bra is the lack of nipple coverage, however, that seems less noticeable with the darker-colored bra.

This is comfortable and it has nice adjustability but no nipple coverage and odd seams in front which you can see if you are wearing a thin T-shirt.

I could not fasten the band. Now, this is the first sports bra I have ever tried on that was not a slip-on, so maybe that's normal? But if I can't get it on...not going to keep it.

Not as good as Moving Comfort used to be. I’m a nursing mom, so I love having the adjustable straps, but wanted a non-racerback for casual daily wear when I might throw in some exercise. This bra is 2 layers—the top layer attaches to the bottom of the band in front, while the inner layer attaches to the top of the band. This creates an effect where the band is pulled upwards by the outer layer and rolls up a bit. The band is supposed to be what supports, so this isn’t ideal at all. Oh well, I used a coupon so I’ll keep it, but was still a little disappointed.

The support seems to me to be low impact rather than medium impact as described. I am a smallish C and found the bra inadequate support for using elliptical. The design is pretty shoddy: there are large unattractive holes for the bra straps cut into the bra, and the adjusting is done via a velcro strip on the strap,rather than the more usual loop system. This is a $25 bra that I bought for $50; will be returning.

Since 2011, I've had this sports bra in a 36DD, 34C and 32B (I had a breast reduction and lost a lot of weight). Both the 36DD and the 34C fit well and provided great support. The regular bra shoulder straps with the velcro have always been a great feature because I cannot wear racerback straps without causing neck and shoulder pain (obviously not having racerback straps was more important when I was bigger). The 32B is the right size for me but I would not recommend this bra in smaller sizes. There's no need for this much of a bra for B cups and lower. I can't speak to Brooks vs Moving Comfort because of my different sizes, they've all fit a bit differently. FWIW, they've all seemed to be of the same quality.

sadly the newly designed Fiona is less supportive because of the different band. Looking for the same performance elsewhere.

Like other reviews, I loved the original Moving Comfort Fiona bra. Needing to find a replacement I decided to try this version. I can attest that the bra is not the same and in fact, I agree with other less positive reviewers. The material used for the bra is much thinner. The bottom band is also less substantial and provides no bottom support at all. It was loose and uncomfortable (rolled up!) In fact, other than the straps going over the shoulders, there is very little coverage and support to this bra. The lighter material may work for some, but it is insubstantial for those wearers who need a firmer sport bra that provides enough support at the bottom of the chest and coverage for modesty at the gym.

My biggest complaint is that the band rolls. The straps are also a bit itchy and irritating. Otherwise, I like the style but don't feel that I got my money's worth.

As other reviewers mentioned, the band does roll up which i can tolerate for short runs but I think will drive me crazy over long runs. It does keep the girls in place though and the fabric is very silky and soft.

Disappointed. I have been wearing the Fiona for the last year and I have loved it. I purchased a new one to prepare for a marathon because the hooks were getting damaged. I ordered my usual size in black. What I did like was that once I adjusted the velcro straps they never came undone in the wash. This was never the case with my old pink one. Anyway the reason I rate this one so low after I have loved the previous one is becauae the band doesn't lay properly on my ribcage. It folds up. This doesn't make it uncomfortable necessarily but the fit is different. Too late to send it back.

definitely comfortable, but does not hold the girls like the Juno. Tried two others as well. None support and minimize motion like the Juno.

The Fiona is comfortable in many ways, however, the band is a concern. I recently bought two Fiona's. I have worn one of them about four times and after an hour of cardio the band had a slight roll in the front. That has not been a problem with my older (Moving Comfort) Fiona. So I took the three Fionas (all the same size) and measured the height of the band at the center front: the new one that rolled is 42mm; the new one that I have not worn is 36mm; the old one is 33mm. That might not be the reason for the roll, but the 9mm range is concerning.

I don't run but do have large breasts that need support without dealing with underwires. I started using these bras when I was active, horseback riding and cycling. At that time they did a wonderful job. However, I had to order new ones in a larger sI've after gaining some weight. The new ones have an inferior band that has a really bad tendency to roll and the sides don't seem to provide any support. Wish I could find an alternate brand.

A comfortable bra, that is easy to put on and take off. However, as a DDD cup I would not go for a run or do any activities that are medium to high impact like this says I can do. I'd wear this bra to a yoga class. There is no cup support or structure.

Not very comfortable for a small busted woman. The straps at the top with the velcro bulge out too much too.

The shoulder straps adjust via velcro on the front. It's a weird system that looks super bulky under clothes. Had to return.

It says "molded cups," but there are not any pads in this bra like other Brooks/Moving Comfort bras. So if you don't want "head lights," I'd skip this bra.

Bought this since I've had good luck with Moving Comfort bras in the past. this is not up to previous quality. My main complaint is that the cups are completely unlined.

I've always had trouble finding good sports bras for running and other medium-high impact activities. On a whim, I decided to try out the Fiona bra. I tried it on and have decided it is going back. This does not feel like a medium-high impact bra. To me, the band seems loose and not supportive (although very soft), even when using the last hook closure. I also have very broad shoulders and the straps do not extend long enough for me to be comfortable. On the positive side, I think this bra has flattering lines and the colors are nice, but obviously this is not enough for me to use and/or recommend this product.

This is not the Fiona bra that I have come to depend on for years and years. What ever Brooks did to the fabric or design has made it unsuitable for running (for the large chested). I am so sad and will be searching for a new go to running bra.
