It seems to support ok. I had to get a slightly larger band size than I normally wear because there were none in my size (34) However, there is a weird fold at the band that sticks out on the sides on either side of my breast, and a funky seem that leaves a impression across my chest and breasts. I haven?t done a long run in it, but I?m afraid that seem will chafe if I do.

Bra is very comfy but the straps loosen when you run.
I'm used to the Brooks bras with the strong velcro straps, so this just was not comfortable when running.

I got this bra because I couldn't find the Juno in my size anywhere and honestly, this bra is nowhere near as good as the old ones. It's ..... ok. Not as supportive as the Juno, the straps don't stay put as well as the Juno during exercise, and the bra is harder to actually get on because the straps stay fastened. Please just go back to making the Juno.

Super comfortable, but the straps loosen during my runs. It's great for walking or hiking, but it doesn't hold things in place for a run. Size DD.

Definitely supportive, but squashed my chest a lot. Not uncomfortable just very flat.

I received this bra free of charge in exchange for an honest review. My first impression was that I loved the color (I got the blue/yellow stripes), but I wasn't sure about the adjustable part of the band as I thought it might be irritating. I wore it for a 4-mile run, and it felt just as good as the Uprise Crossback that I normally wearno issues with the band adjuster. However, when I wore it again on a 13-mile run, the front seam where the mesh attaches to the cups really rubbed starting about 7 or so miles. By the end I was pretty sore. Other than that, I had no issues with fit and the band adjuster was not irritating. I'm a small cup size (A/B), so the support level was fine, and I like the molded cups. But because of the rubbing, I'll have to use it for activities other than long runs.

Overall it is comfortable and a great bra for a spin workout, but would not recommend for high intensity or running. There is not nearly as much support as I had hoped for.

The band is big. I had to put it on the 2nd tightest hook you get any support. It fits OK, but not as well as the Juno. I have a hard time finding bra straps long enough, but even I had to shorten these straps a lot! The cup fits weird, but I can?t put my finger on why. Don?t waste your money on full price, wait until it?s on sale if you want to try it. Will be returning.

I returned it. Not good for high impact. The boobs shook around too much. And, I didn't like the pointy shape it gave my boobs.

It fit my fit my girls and was very comfortable. Didn't create a 'uniboob' but the straps kept slipping so I was constantly adjusting during a weight training session. Couldn't even wear it during impact workouts.

I wanted to love this sports bra but they missed the mark with this one. I took my measurements and followed the size guide when placing my order. I was very disappointed with how painful this bra felt in the armpit section. I used kt tape in this area to help with the discomfort. However, the bra still dug into my skin and left a mark after my run. I do not recommend this product :(

Extremely poor design. I was not pleased that I could not unhook and remove. Unfortunately you unhook and still have to pull over your head. I would not recommend this product to any large woman trying to get in shape. This is the first thing I have ever purchased from Brooks that I was not 100% satisfied with.

I'm not wild about this bra. The support is mediocre and the armpits chaff. The fit and design are okay. I would return if I could.

Terrible straps, I am constantly having to adjust them, which is hard to do with the angle of the metal adjuster in the back. It's a comfortable bra for sitting around the house, but not suitable for any workout or running.

Was really looking for a good sports bra that wouldn?t move while running and provide support. The first time I tried running in this the adjustment for the straps loosened all the way which resulted in me losing all support. I had to stop my run because it quickly became painful without proper support. I might be able to use this for low impact exercise but will definitely not be using this for anything high impact.

It has such a wide band in the back that it is difficult to clasp. Honestly, I think my boyfriend is going to have to help me put this on. The way the straps are attached gives you no options for clasping it in the front and turning it around.

It is comfortable and holds you in while working out. Downside is it is not holding up. The materials are separating after a couple of washing. Sad replacement for the Fiona bra. Bring back Fiona!
