Customer Reviews Brooks Dare Cross-Back Bra

I have been wearing this bra for my daily walks in Gulf Coast Texas heat and humidity. It is very comfortable and dries quickly. I have not had any issues with chafing. It is easy to put on / take off. This bra lays flat on my back and doesn't accentuate any back fat. I have washed and dried (unintentionally in the dryer) and have not noticed any degradation in performance or shrinkage.

Finally found my favorite sports bra. No chaffing after 5 hour run, no obnoxious pads to readjust and fall out in the wash.

I took this bra on a real test run for the first time: 20 miles. I figured if it was as good as I'd heard, it'd be fine. And it was beyond fine! I never noticed, felt, or had to adjust while on the run at all. Plus, it doesn't completely flatten my chest, so it moves well and looks great. So breathable and light! I'll be getting another color of these.

I wanted to love this bra - and was so close to - but it doesn't come in a big enough cup size. I'm typically a 32DD and had some noticeable spillage at the top. Super comfy bra, but not sure it's worth keeping at the price point.

Really difficult to remove after sweating. And it is not cut out enough under the arms (it rolls onto my armpit). I am small breasted and this doesn't really stay in place. I'm constantly adjusting it.

Very comfortable, highly supportive when running. EXACTLY what I was looking for! This might be the most comfortable sports bra I own

the firm all day any activity comfort of this bra. It is perfect if you happen to be shorter chested as the straps are not too long. I wear almost every single Victoria secret bra with the straps as short as they will go and sometimes they are still too long. If you want the same hold me in feel but need more adjustment then the scoop back is fabulous as the straps and band can be adjusted. I am 5'7" 128lbs and wear 34dd, 36d, or 36dd from Victoria secret depending on the style bra. I wear the dare cross back in a 34dd/e or 36c/d, the scoop back fits perfectly from day 1 in a 34dd/e on the loosest hook but by the time I've worn it for 6 months it's on the middle to tightest. As with most items the stretch is slightly offer after the first wash,

Most comfortable exercise bra I've ever worn. I had to buy all 3! Wish there were white - then it'd be an amazing white tshirt bra.

This is the most amazing sports bra. I'm a 34C in general, but in third love i wear a 34.5 B (thanks Third love!). I ordered the 34C/D and 36A/B. They both fit ok. I wear the 34 for higher impact and the 36 for med-low impact. I can wear it all day and I don't notice it at all - through walks, lugging my kid around town, and HIIT & yoga workouts. Get this! you won't be sorry.

The Dare Crossback has become my new favorite bra! It has the perfect amount of pressure to hold everything together while I excercise, and I don't have any pain on the top of my shoulders like I get from other bras. It really felt like it was a part of me.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST SPORTS BRA I'VE EVER HAD! I've always been one to compromise on comfort for cost but I will never do that again! This is totally worth the cost and the comfort is amazing! I recommend this for any bustier runners!

Bought one to try, and immediately bought 3 more! Perfect balance of comfort and support,!

I got the glacier blue 34 AB. Normally wear 34B and small in clothes. I love the feeling of the fabric and the color, glacier blue. Fits perfect, not too tight or suffocating. I've been wearing it in the summer months in Alabama and it wicks sweat great. My favorite running bra! I've bought three and love them.

Love this bra! It's very supportive and comfortable. It also allows the bust to look nice as well - no smash or unaboob. I use it for running. Every run, I am drenched from sweat but this bra doesn't hold the perspiration in like a wetsuit unlike others. It does get and stay wet but not as badly as other bras. The cross back is every comfortable and allows for freedom of movement and full breath (expansion of the lungs). I will buy others.

Love this bra! It is very absorbent, which helps to keep the sweat off of my body. I don't like that it goes over my head because it is difficult when you're sweaty. Still like it a lot for running!

Just the right amount of padding. I love that this bra does not have removable padding; I hate putting padding back in after each wash.

Love this bra! Super supportive. I am a runner and do HIIT workouts and it's great for both. Only downside is that it's a little high in the front and sometimes is higher than my top which looks weird. I would still recommend it for anyone looking for more support without huge straps and clasps. It's really comfortable!

This bra is pretty comfortable for a running bra. It does have a gap under the armpit but I am happy with the way it feels and would buy it again.

I love this bra. I wish it was a bit tighter and that it was offered one cup size up (I'm already in D-DD). I prefer a bit more compression but I can't do adjustable straps bc they chafe. So, this one is good.

Definitely NOT supportive enough for running with D+ cup size, but it makes a great yoga bra. Good support and sculpting, but also stretchy and moisture-wicking. If you're looking for a go-to hot/power yoga bra, this is it. I'll also lift in it occasionally.

This bra is certainly very comfortable, but I wouldn't say it provides high-impact support. I am a D cup and I didn't find it supportive enough for a run (although it was ok flor a slow jog).

I wear a 34D. I ordered the 34C/D. I am returning because was really hard to get on and off over my head. I needed more support for HIIT. Once it was finally on, it was comfortable. Not sure how it would look with racer back tops.

While this bra seemed to be made of quality material and seemed to have good support, there was a lot of weird bunching fabric under my armpits. I had to return them.

Very comfortable, and very cool fabric/design. Narrow fit, and stretched out a bit over wearing. But definitely not secure or high impact enough for running, which was why I paid for it.

Not good at all for running. It has zero support or adjustability. Why Brooks eliminated and refuses to bring back the Juno is beyond me (and apparently a million other people). I have now become a loyal Nike customer
