Customer Reviews Brooks Dare Cross-Back Bra

It?s okay, but I really miss the Juno. The cut and adjustability of the Juno was just so much better. Decent support on this one, though.

The fabric of this bra is great--soft and breathable. The 34CD is true to size. But I wore it for a 5-mile run the day after receiving it and ended up chafing badly under my arms. There's some extra fabric that bunches right under the armpit and that's what seemed to rub.

Does not support as well as the old Brooks sports bras

Followed the instructions on fit and ordered a 38 AB, just like my Fiona. Initially it fit well and was really comfortable, but when worn the second time, my girls fell out of the bottom of the bra. I had to stop running and constantly pull the bra down. I think it's the type of bra since this happens with a similar type sleep/lounge bra from another brand. Also, the bounce was pretty bad. The bra does not support like my Fiona and girls bounced quite a bit. It was not awful, but noticeable. Brooks customer service suggested a smaller size, but I returned without re-ordering. Don't think this is my style bra.

This bra is high compression so if you can't handle very tight bras it's not for you. It is supportive but the straps are short/tight. The cups are also in a weird spot because they are so close the edge of the band the bottom of the cup ends up being part of the band. The band is only like .5-1 inch wide but this bra is super supportive, actually covered my whole bust and cleavage, and passed a bounce test. I haven't run in it though. For reference I'm 5'9" wearing the 40E.

The material is great. The style is what I was looking for however the the band under the breast area was too thin and would ride up. Glad I tried it, but I am 5'9" and 150 so not very heavy but just would have like a thicker band. So the quest continues for the best running bra ever.

Color is great, and it would be a great sports bra except it runs extremely small. I ordered my normal size - cannot wear it :(

Very soft and comfortable bra, but definitely not high impact. There's just not enough structure to hold everything in place while running. I'm keeping this bra, but will wear it for biking/strength training.

Great support and fabric. Strange fabric gap at seam near armpit makes it bulge out a bit and sometimes rub the inside of my arm. Bought this on sale but doubt I'll buy more because of this.

The material is super comfy and I love that the pads do not come out of the bra. I feel very secure. I?m only giving it three stars because it runs small. I?m usually a C cup and only sometimes a D. I ordered the D in this and the cup is almost too small.

Great bra...Does not hold my chest down..not high impact enough to run.

I like the molded cups, support., and lack of hardware on this bra. Unfortunately the non-adjustable straps are a little too short on me so the bottom band rides up and leads to some chaffing. Sizing up would make the band too loose, so I'm hoping with a few washes the straps will stretch out a little. This would probably be a great bra if your torso is shorter.

Love the color and the fabric itself. Just feels tight around my chest but at the same time has this weird loose part right under my armpit. So the fit isn't perfect for me though i won't be returning because I like it enough.

The bra is good but not great for high impact activities with large breasts (aka running). I like it for yoga and lounging around.

I like it fine but it?s not as good as the previous style of Brooks sports bra.

It's alright. I like the material, but I'm concerned I'll have chaffing under the arms. The cups are a bit big. I wear the same size in all my other Brooks bras.

It is really cute, but not particularly supportive.

Great idea! Love the fabric and the feel. The fit is a bit off. Too much gap near outside breast section, closest to arm pits. Going to wash and hope to get fabric to fit better after one wash.

I really love it, but unfortunately I think I ordered the wrong size as now it feels too big after a run and day of wearing. I thought I would have to size up according to other reviews so I got a 36DD/E. Now I wish I would have tried the 34, oh well, no running in this one, though I will say it is super comfortable!!! Just hoped I could actually run in this one. For the first time it didn't take me 10 minutes to put on a sports bra!!!

Like most reviewers who are D cup and greater, I much prefer the Juno. Overall this is a comfortable bra and does minimize bounce ... but not up to par with the Juno.

Very comfortable and does hold me in (5) but I still get too much movementbounce (3). So this is great for walking but probably not for running for me. I love not having to mess with closing hooks or a slider (5) Probably the most comfortable jog bra ever. It's cool here now so I don't know about sweating in it yet.

Soft and comfortable, but area under armpits stretched and puckered almost immediately. Still works fine, but I'd hoped for better quality for thr price/brand.
