Customer Reviews Brooks Dare Cross-Back Bra

Very comfortable as a low-impact walking bra, but there is NO way I could run in this! I'm 32DD for reference.

I wanted to love this bra because it is extremely comfortable and really moves with you. I gave it three stars because it is marketed as a high support bra but did not support me while running. I'm a 34D and felt myself bouncing the entire time.

For me it was too wide under the armpits and looks like it may chafe. Otherwise it looks like it will do great for running but I may not use it too much if it's chafing.

What this bra gets right: it is really so, so comfortable. Misses for me: If you are large busted (38dd here) this is really a medium impact bra. I plan on keeping it to lift in. But definitely no running of any kind. Another issue is with having a larger bust, I feel the material will stretch out over time and with no adjustable hooks or straps, will be an issue for those that need more support. The search for Juno and Jubralee replacement continues for me. I haven?t found that in Brook?s new line.

This bra is TIGHT. I ordered what should have been the correct size for me, and I spill out the top. It would be perfect if not for that - the straps and band are very comfortable, and it provides a lot of support.

Very nice bras but not enough support ! Sadly return !

I'm a large 36D and I should have gone a size up unfortunately--it's sadly a little smashed at the breast.

This bra fits me weird. The band is comfortable, but I like the Juno bra a lot better. Would not buy again.

One of the most comfortable spots bras I've worn. But too much room in the cups to be considered "high impact." I'm generally a 36B so I ordered the 36AB and had way too much room, that will be a casual-wear bra from now on. I really wanted to love this bra because it is so comfortable so I ordered the 34AB. Still too little support/too much bounce. I'll wear this one to bike or strength train. But I won't be running in it. If I could get the cup size of the Rebound Racer in the material/comfort of the Dare Crossback I'd have my dream sports bra.

Comfortable, but did not fit right. There’s a huge gap in the armpit/chest area. Cup size was for A/B and I’m B so it should’ve worked.

It's very comfortable. It's soft. It does not hold my girls quite as well as I'd hoped. I will wear it when I cycle.. but not for running

The material felt comfortable and, if I had been able to lengthen the straps, I imagine the bra would have felt good on my run, but the fixed length straps just did not work for me. I hated that because the fit around my body was great and the cups were just right despite my hard to fit 36A body. So, if you are like me, one of those women who ends up extending the straps on your bra to make it sit at the right place on your chest, this sports bra will probably not work for you either.

I am normally a 32DD (5'2''), but I'd heard great things about this bra and wanted to try it. As someone w/ a larger chest, this bra is incredibly comfortable, but not being the perfect size, I have a little spillage at the top and notice the lack of a thick strap underneath. It's still better than some of my other sports bras, but I'm unsure if I will keep it or use it more for lower impact workouts.

Bra is probably good - sizing questionable.

Aside from not having adjustable straps, this bra is really comfortable. The material is soft and hugs the body nicely. I REALLY wantes to love this bra for running. I wear a D/DD cup and would not rate this as high impact - however, it's comfortable and supportive enough for a cross training session or medium impact workout. Comparatively, the Juno provides more support for me wbile running.

This ran too small for me. I bought a M and usually wear a M or L. This fit like a Small.

It holds me well in-place, however it chafes underneath in the front after a 7 mile run.

Wish it came in a true D or DD. My daughter got the C/D, and her breasts spill over the top. She has tried other Brooks bras, and this was the most comfortable. Please consider making this in a larger cup size. Thanks.

LOVE the feel of the bra, secure and no nipping out, plenty of support for an A/B cup like me. The material is thick and comfortable and I love that the cross back seems to move easily with me. I'm usually a 32 but the 34 felt more "comfy", big mistake to size up though. Chafed terribly from the front of my shoulder circling all the way to behind my arm/back, worst place was under my armpit where the fabric met my skin. The cross back "moving with me" feeling was actually chafing the heck out of my skin during my 12mile run this morning. I'm a heavy sweat-er, so that doesn't help. But I think sizing down would help so I'm going to try that. Really wanted to like this bra, but it even started chafing me yesterday (before run-testing it today) just wearing it during the day at work. Fingers crossed the smaller size doesn't destroy my skin.

I love the material and think it was help against chafing on my back! The only thing that's annoying is the straps don't seem long enough. I got a 38AB. It's hard to pull the bra over my boobs to cover all the way. The cup size is fine but just seems like someone didn't measure the shoulder straps correctly. I have no issues with lack of support.
