Customer Reviews Brooks Juno Cross Back Adjustable High-Impact Sports Bra | Moving Comfort

I was looking for athletic bras for a long torso and size 38D. This bra is going back. It did work well for the long torso, but even with the hook closure it can only be put on and off over the head (because of the criss cross style in back). Not easy to do in a sweat.

I had purchased a similar bra from Brooks Running and I wanted a second one, but it was discontinued. My 34E size is difficult to find so I thought I had found the replacement in this bra. However, the material at the neckline between the cups was loose and it didn't lay down smoothly. It was lumpy under smooth shirts, so I ended up returning it. The former Brooks Running model was stitched across the top so it laid down nicely along the neckline of the bra. The discontinued Brooks Running model was also more stretchy so I could hook it before I put it over my head. With this new model, I have to hook it behind my back after putting it on.

First, this bra is very supportive. So, trust that your chest will not move while running. I am a 40 DD and it definitely works. But, and this is a big drawback, it is the hottest jog bra I have ever worn. I would not recommend buying it unless you do not sweat much. I was very disappointed and almost stopped running mid-workout to change bras. I bought the Sunset Kabash color and I am hoping it was the fabric for that color. I have worn Moving Comfort bras for years and this looks just like my best Moving Confort bra -- just hotter. :-(

Love the support, but please be aware this is the hottest bra ever. I wore it to run and I never have sweated more. It took two days to dry out from my workout. If you are large breasted, the bra is very supportive and you will not move while running. BUT, be prepared to be hot. I have other Juno bras that are not hot, so I am not sure what is going on.

The bra is comfortable and keeps you cooler. I was a little disappointed that it still gave me uniboob so I am back to wearing two bras.

Doesn't stretch enough to get on/off overhead and the clasp in back is too difficult to hook/unhook.

The bra is cute and the design is ideal, however every time I wear this bra, the straps rub my skin completely raw and the area where the velcro attaches to the strap also scratches my skin. I can only use this bra if I apply a liberal amount of vaseline to prevent chafing or only wear for short runs. So dissapointing.

Poor version of the original Juno bra. The material is flimsier, the straps are thinner, the cup coverage is not as good or accurate. Overall, disappointed.

Juno has always been my 'go to' running bra. Brooks has ruined it. Please bring back the original Moving Comfort design. I have ordered these three different times and each style gets worse and worse. So disappointing as now I need to find a running bra, which is hard for a larger busted runner. I have original Moving Comfort Juno from 6+ years ago and I still love it, wish I would have bought more then. I have 10 now as I keep holding out hope that the 'newest' one will be like the original. Instead they keep getting worse. Brooks has ruined the Juno.

Has great potential, but the SEAMS. Seams everywhere. I liked this bra because it offered decent support without cutting off my ability to breathe (something most women like to do while running). As a C cup, there's bound to be some movement, and seams on soft skin over hours-long trail runs is truly a nightmare.

Entirely smaller than true size. Disappointed as the comfort and style seemed spot on.

I really like the fit of this bra -- and finally don't need to double up on sports bras when running... but the straps leave my skin severely irritated, and have caused bruising/eventual scabbing. I am trying everything -- covering the straps in athletic tape, soft bandages... you name it. Support is great but super painful on my skin!

I always wear a 32DD, and I really like the last version of Juno. But the band on this one was ridiculously tight, the straps are much shorter, and it puckers worse at the top. This is a bad redesign. Save your money.

Generally, I am not a fan. It does what it is supposed to do, but I find getting it on very challenging. I have never had a sports bra (or any bra) that could not be hooked in the front and slid around, and it takes way more time than I would like to get it on. I bought the bra because I liked the last Brooks sports bra quite a lot, but it seems they don't make the same one that can be hooked in the front?

I'm a 38DD and this was a staple in my closet. I used to be the 2 sports bra kind of runner to avoid knocking myself out. When they first came out, they were fantastic but I've noticed a decline in quality. The straps hold but the support is no longer as solid as it was. I find myself constantly adjusting the bra. I thought it was my size that changed so I got a 36 DD and a 40 DD but it's the same result. The holes where the straps go are ripping easily and I'm afraid they'll completely rip apart. The fasteners in the back dug into my skin and caused an abrasion also. This was my last Juno purchase so I'm back on the hunt for a suitable running bra.

I really wish they would go back to the original design. There was a reason people loved Moving Comfort - there was a reason why you guys bought them to carry their line. So please stop messing with a good thing. Please give us back the REAL JUNO BRA.

I loved the Moving Comfort version of the Juno bra. When that one finally started ripping, I replaced it with this new version. It's much worse. It doesn't fit nearly as well. The velcro on the straps pulls away and itches. I returned, so now I have to find a new sports bra I like.

Not for tall women! I am 5'-10", i.e. not even extraordinarily tall. The straps on this bra are adjustable with velcro, but the velcro isn't positioned to allow enough length for the bottom band to reach my rib cage, so the bra is unwearable. Because I really like the style and I'm handy with a sewing machine, I'm going to keep this bra and add length to the straps. But if you're tall and not willing to make alterations, it's probably not the bra for you.

I don't like the velcro straps.

This bra bulged at the top instead of laying flat and also bulged in the back. The size was accurate for me but just didn't work.

So disappointed...I own about 10 of the previous Juno sports bras. Being petite with a larger chest, I loved them because I can adjust the straps from the front. I was really hoping the negative reviews of the re-model of the Juno were wrong, but unfortunately, they have been correct. While it's very soft, the color was great, and is easier to get on/off than the previous Juno, the cut of the top part of the bra makes a weird gape in the cleavage area which decreases the compression (and sticks out under a shirt) It may fit someone with broader shoulders, but it just didn't fit me. Bummed. Onto a new search for a great sports bra.

I'm so disappointed by the Juno redesign. I've worn the Juno for 5+ years and have trained for and run multiple half marathons and a marathon. The bra used to keep my larger (34DD) chest secure and comfortable. I'm sad that the new design fails to provide the same support. Instead of the slight V-neck, the new design is more straight across and does not lay flat on chest. The sizing also seems off as the back gapes a bit in the new bra. I ordered my normal size. I'll be searching for a new bra unless Brooks goes back to the old design.

I have owned the Moving Comfort Juno bras for a couple of years and loved them (38D). They fit appropriately tightly and are quite supportive. Racer back gave much more range of motion freedom during weight-lifting. However...just tried the Brooks version of this bra and was *totally* disappointed. It was way too large. The material was both scratchy, stiff but somehow very cheap and not supportive at all. This is no longer the bra for me. I will look at other brands.

I'm a big fan of the older version of this style, but it doesn't come in my new post-nursing size of 36E. I was happy to see the larger cup sizing introduced with this style, but sadly, it doesn't fit the same. The racerback looks like it lies flat on the model, but in reality it does not. It lies flat when unstretched, but upon putting it on, it pulls it at a weird angle, and then it looks very odd and does not lie flat on the skin (in back or in front). In addition, it made me look like I have terrible back fat, which I do not. Additionally, I'm a short girl, and usually need to tighten the straps to make sports bras fit correctly, but then the top of the racerback came up much too high, causing strain on my neck, and felt very uncomfortable. If it fit right, I imagine it would provide decent control for moderate to high impact activities. I considered unstitching the 3 places where the straps cross to allow it to stretch/move more functionally, but didn't want to risk that it still wouldn't fit right, so I returned it.

I used to LOVE Juno bras. Found them initially when made by Moving Comfort and they were the only bra that was comfortable, supportive, and didn't create a dreaded unibody. I wore 40 DD, 38DD, and then 36DD as my weight dropped - but still needed thenDD cups. Always worked, always fit the same, always SO supportive. The only bra I could wear for half marathon training or runs longer than 2 miles. THEN I bought a new one in may 2019 and it was DESTROYED. Racer back redesign decreased comfort and support; less coverage along the sides of the cups=much less support and very uncomfortable skin/skin rubbing, cup sizes suddenly running much smaller, and unsupportive and flimsy material. Bought the same size as my other Juno but felt at least two cups smaller. I've been nursing along my old Juno because I have yet to find anything that compares after the design was destroyed. Very sad and frustrating...
