Customer Reviews Brooks Dare Cross-Back Bra

Pretty good bra! It does the job and is fairly comfortable. Only complaint is that the area where the front part meets the side part (the side seam, I suppose) is weirdly stiff. So when I cross my arms in front of myself or raise my arms up, it digs into my skin a bit. It's not enough of a problem for me to return it, will definitely still use. It's just not comfortable for multiple hours of wear.

I really like these bras. They're comfortable and do not retain the sweat smell. Runs a little small and the sides (underneath the armpits) the seam puckers/warp. Bought 5, and they all have it.

Love it. Not for the highest impact exercise, but great for long runs, walks, and most classes

I love the cut and the material of the Brooks running bras. I wear them under rash guards while doing aqua aerobics since most other swimsuit tops I've tried are awful. For some reason though the two Brooks bras I ordered recently are tighter than one I purchased awhile ago. It's the exact same size so not really sure why that is.

I managed to hit a great sale and got two of these bras for an absolute steal! I'm 90% pleased with my purchase. Here are the pros: -No separate cups to lose during washing/get all dented and misshapen -Nice soft fabric -Very comfortable/breathable -Captures sweat (if you sweat like me!) I have one con: -Because it crosses in the back, you can't adjust it, and it sticks out a bit in the armpits (for me) which can be annoying when running Overall though, totally worth it!

Not all that supportive - I had a lot of bounce. Also, after a five mile run the lower band (around the rib cage) left a painful red line where it rubbed. Might be ok for lower impact activities.

This running bra is very comfortable however, it doesn't do a great job of minimizing bounce as much as I like my running bras to do. The fabric is lightweight and flexible making it surprisingly easy to get on and off over your head. I purchased the Dare Scoopback running bra and this one at the same time, both in size 34 C/D. The Dare scoop-back does a better job of minimizing bounce so I'll be wearing that one for running and this one for weight-training and elliptical days

Love the feel of this garment while wearing and is very comfortable. Only issue I have is where the straps are sewn on upper back shoulder some irritation from me scratching where fabric is rubbing. I still love this garment. If I order another it will be without sewn straps on upper back area.

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!

A comfortable, sturdy jog bra. I have purchased several of these-mainly because they wear out fairly quick! It provides good support, but wears out after approximately 2-3 months, even after using the hand wash cycle and hanging to dry. It also gaps on the bottom band. Overall, a decent jog bra though.

It has amazing support and doesn't rub anywhere. But its too short for taller women. I wish it had an extra inch in the shoulder straps.

I like how this bra fits, but seems to have a little less fabric under the cups - I have a few different models of this bra and I don't think I'd run without a shirt in this one, feels like not quite enough coverage.

This bra is so cute on and feels better than any other sports bra that I have worn, BUT (and I have no idea why), it rubbed me raw at my front midline in two spots a couple inches apart. It feels wonderful, until it doesn't. This happens @ mile 10 though, so for a CrossFit workout or a shorter run, this bra beats them all.

Too short. The distance between my shoulders and the base of my boobs is to long for this bra. Maybe it?s best for petites, I am 5?8?. I loved the fabric and styling, too bad it isn?t long enough.

I like this alot. very comfortable and supportive. It took a few times putting it on to get used to--the back is a split cross back and it is a tad tight pulling it over my head--but once on--its great. Love to run in this. The tag says to hang to dry which is a mild nuisance if I want to wear it the next day.

This bra is very comfortable and offers excellent support. I was expecting more of a cup shape however. For a large bust size a stronger cup design in another bra might have been better.

Didn't realize it had no-clasp until it arrived, but it's more comfortable and works better than I expected.

Overall, I like the fit, but if worn a little too long, it starts to dig into that space between my armpit and shoulder. Instead of 32 C, I went with a 34 A/B. I feel if I had gone with a tighter band, this may have actually been worse?? I do like it, but I dislike wearing it longer than a hour, or when I'm lifting weights.

wow, as a 36 D ultra runner Sports Bras are a struggle at time. I started with the Enell (straight jacket but worked) I moved to Moving comfort/brooks Juno. I love the juno but struggled with chafe from the hooks in the back. I was thrilled to find the seamless Dare crossback run bra. I was very skeptical it would hold the girls in. I was blown away and this bra is so dang comfortable I feel like I could wear it daily. I have never said that about a sports bra. I got the c/d and I am a D+ for sure so I am going to try the DDE cup size and see how it goes. With the 90 fit policy I can return and get the sizes I need. I am a new fan in the making!

Wanted to wear this a few times and wear it for a long run before I left a review. So far the bra is extremely comfortable and holds me in (34C). There is no chaffing or rubbing at all and it does keep me pretty dry during the run. The cons is that after the first time I wore it the elastic kind of went out out on the sides underneath the armpits. It hasn't effected its ability to hold or support but it doesn't look too great when the fabric is all bunched up on both sides. Second con is that the material the bra is made out of smells when it gets a little bit wet, or at least I think it does. Usually I try to use the same sports bra for my days that I have two workouts and just let it air dry before the second workout, but this one I cannot do that with. I still recommend this bra, its definitely one of the best ones I have ever had, just be aware that after the first wear it may bunch up on the sides and not look as "cute," and if it gets wet the material has an odd smell to it. However, it does its job and doesn't cause any physical discomfort.

Very comfortable! Strong material and stretchy, only thing is the sides near my underarms stick out
