There is not enough stretch in the back. It's to hard to get on or off. If the center oval would stretch more so it would go on easier I would love it. I will be returning it after my sister comes to visit if she doesn't want it.

I literally couldn't get it off once I got it on. Obviously very supportive but I would prefer a bra that I can put on and take off without needing help!

Super disappointed - this bra is nothing like the Juno. Please bring back the Juno!! The straps slip, chaffing under the bra line, and less support. Did a man design this? Or was it ever tested on large breasted women? Two thumbs down.

This was the replacement for the discontinued Juno. This is not even close. So disappointed.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
This is not a running bra. What a cruel joke Brooks played on customers, especially those who loved Juno. This bra is a pain to get all three hooks closed and the straps are adjustable but don't stay that way for the duration of a run. There is so much bounce, I might as well have been running in a lacy VS bra. Super disappointed. Keep looking for a high support sports bra; this is not it.

NOT a high impact bra for a large chest (36D). I was hoping this would be a good replacement for the rebound racer that has worked so well but it might be good for low/medium impact actives. I'm 5'3" 145lbs. and found that the band fit well but gave this bra a test on the elliptical (75-85 rpm) and had lots of bounce and the straps loosened as I went on. I would not use this bra again for elliptical and glad I didn't try to run in it. My search for rebound racer replacement continues.

I ordered this on-line. After a few shimmies and jump-arounds in a front of a mirror, I knew this would not be supportive enough for running. Probably not for anything else either. Intention was to return it, but I grabbed the wrong bra in a hurry to get out the door to work at 0500.
Underboob collapsed and left me with bleeding chafe mark at the end of my 13.5 hours shift, walking.... slowly.... and sitting..... at my job. Not a single bit of exercise performed. Oh wait... I walked up a flight of stairs then back down again. One time.
This bra is NOT for running or exercise.
I gave it 1 stars because maybe if you wore it for 1 hour at a non-aerobic exercise class, it might work

Doesn't feel very supportive, especially for high intensity activity like running. Please bring back the Juno model.

It's laughable to think a brand as reputable as Brooks running would consider this a running sports bra. The fact that I cannot even wear this bra as a casual bra is proof enough that this bra is not even close to the Brooks version of the Juno.
And let's face it, Brooks took an incredible line of sports bras from Moving Comfort to a line that anyone over a B cup can wear. I've sent SO MANY runners away from your brand in order to find more support.
In your sports bra section, you say that the sports bra is one of the most important pieces of equipment a woman needs to run. It's almost more important than shoes for some of us - yes - I said it.
BRING BACK THE JUNO or sell the design to another company.

Runs very small and tight. Not as good as the Juno. Not that supportive. I had to give to my teenage daughter.

I wanted to love this bra, but it was a huge disappointment. I wore it to do an interval workout and 5 minutes into my warmup the straps started slipping. During the faster parts of the run, there was no support, at all! It was a very uncomfortable run. The store I bought it from would not let me return it because I wore it I'm hoping Brooks will take it back.

I bought this sports bra because older versions of were amazing but this was a major letdown. By the time I had run to the corner the sliders on the straps had slipped all the way down and there was no support. Not a good sports bra.

This bra would need molded cups and/or much thicker fabric in the cups to hold you in and be supportive.

It's very difficult to clasp closed (I have other brands with back closures and have no issues). Then, seemed fine until I actually started running. The straps don't stay adjusted - kept loosening as I ran, had to stop a lot to fix. Not worth the money in my opinion

The worst "run bra" I've ever had. Does not hold me in, moves with me and then off me because the smooth fabric means it slides around. The straps loosen within a few strides. Poorly designed coverage with no impact support. Bring back the Fiona if you actually want a good bra.

This is NOT a high impact bra. The adjuster do not stay put, the straps are too thin, the cups are too thin. This is a low impact, MAYB walking or bench press bra. My go to bra has been Brooks rebound racer since it was moving comfort! Over 7 years to that bra and it is so exceedingly disappointing I'm the direction brooks has taken in sports bras that I'm done and I'm out - looking at other companies' high impact sports bra options. Seriously- what is going on!?!

Terrible bra. Not supportive, impossible to fasten. If you were buying Brooks bras because you used to enjoy the quality and design of Moving Comfort, it's time to move on. No support for larger bust sizes here.

Definitely not a good replacement for the Juno bra. If you have big breasts, don't waste your money on this.

I've been seeing this on a lot of reviews already, but please bring back the Juno!!!! I wear a 34DD and this new bra stays true to that size. But the top of the bra digs too much into the sides near the armpits and causes chafing. There was more breathing room there in the Juno, and the straps were easier to adjust. Having a hard time finding anything comparable to the Juno in terms of support, comfort, adjustability, and even design.
