Customer Reviews Brooks Dare Cross-Back Bra

Way smaller than size chart. I returned it and will not try to guess my size.

I thought this would be the perfect bra for running. Unfortunately there is not enough support and the cups gap under my armpits. I am a 34C and got the medium as suggested but I'm thinking I should have gotten a small. I gave 2 stars because the material is so soft and airy and the straps are comfortable. I will use it for weight training instead.

The first few times I wore this bra I thought it was super comfy. But then I wore it on a longer run and OMG the chaffing!! There's a seam under the arm that chaffes terribly. So disappointed for a bra this expensive.

I'm a small cup so I thought this light weight bra would be perfect. Worked great for a strength training workout but that was it. Wore it for a few hours before my 5 mile run and it felt stretched out by mile 3. Bad chaffing under my arms. No support on my run either. Big fan of Brooks but not of this bra.

I took this out for a relatively short 4 mile run to test it out, and I had chafing on the underside of my chest for days. Material seems soft and supportive, but doesn’t work for running. Ouch!

I was so disappointed. The material was super light weight and breathable, but that was the only good side to this bra. I am a C cup and I have been wearing brooks bras for a few years now and I love them. However, this bra claims to be high support, but it is low support at best. The upper and lower bands provide no support at all. I also have never had any problems with chafing, but it caused bad from the lower band. I really wanted to love this bra, but it just isn't good.

I really wanted to love this bra. the material feels super nice and that is why I gave it 2 stars. unfortunately it did not stay in place at all and caused chafing in multiple areas on my long run. The size did feel correct, there is no way I could have gone smaller. Still on a search for a sports bra that doesn't chafe super bad :(

Though this sports bra doesn't have many seams, the two it does have on the side chaffed me pretty good, even on a really short run. It's a stiff seam so it pokes and rubs. I wish this worked out because it was comfortable otherwise.

I sent all the bras back, I've warn the same size bra for years and brooks has been the main one , but not any more. They run at least three sizes smaller and there not the same.

The sizing of the bra was very small I've worn the same size for many years and never had an issue. I also wear this type of bra from another company with the same size without issue.

The material on the sides underneath my arms rub and because the bra is not adjustable I can't pull the fabric down so there is a lot of chaffing after a long run

Not a great fit. It's a workout trying to get this bra on. I hate it, but don't have time to send it back

not good for running - uncomfortable no support rubs on sides also

Have been a Juno fan for years and was hoping for it to fit as good as Juno. Hope you bring Juno back. This fit is not snug. It is full cover. But ended up returning it.

One of the worst sport bras I've ever worn. I'm quite small - 34B but this sports bra still makes your chest feel so squashed. It's 100% my size but just poorly made. This along with another of their bras gave me the worst chafing under my breast from the inseam.

As the comedian Paula Poundstone says, the workout of a sports bra is actually getting it on and off, but HOLY MOLY was this impossible to fit over my head--I worried that I would burst the fabric. I ordered my regular Third Love bra size (34DD), but apparently I was supposed to use the grandma way of bra sizing (i.e. add 3-5 inches to the circumference under my breasts)? The product design looks interesting, and I was half tempted to return it for other sizes, but with this drastic discrepancy from my actual measurement, any size I order would be a stab in the dark. If I'm going to invest the time to try on every size, I'd rather do it in the store, where I don't have to purchase in advance.

Difficult to get on and off. Should have a clasp in front or back. Returned it

I did not care for the fit on this at all. I returned it.

The fit is awful. Big on the sides.
