Customer Reviews Brooks Underwire Sports Bra

Sorry, but this bra does not meet the standard of previous Brooks bras like the Maia (which has been discontinued). It is over-engineered and under-delivers. Minimal side coverage or support. And a bra in this cup size demands a four hook band closure (not three). May be a great running bra for A through C cups but certainly not anything over.

Love it. Never thought I'd want an underwire sports bra, but now I wish all my sports bras had underwire. Fits as expected. True to size.

riding up in front and back adjustable awkward to adjust just doesnt fit well

THE MOST uncomfortable bra ever. Designed by a 14-year old boy for a school engineering project? More like a straight-jacket. Houdini underwater escape trick? I mourn the day Brooks took over this product line. Do yourselves a favor and bring back the Maia. Good grief!

Wouldn?t actually know how it holds up to running because it doesn?t fit. I thought when ordering an actual bra size type of bra (34DD) that it would fit. Too expensive for it to not fit

I initially purchased 1 from REI in what is normally my size. It did not fit. I exchanged it for a size up and again, it didn't fit. They didn't have anymore size options so I purchased online and this one is waaaay too big. There is a huge range missing from your bra sizes. By the time I got this one, I didn't have any choice but too use it so, here I am, using an expensive and extremely awkward bra.

Thought the fabric was nice, but the sizing was WAY off compared to other Brooks bras as well as other brands I own. Way too small. I returned it and was afraid to try another size, so had to search the internet for some other brand that might work.

I have bought the Maia running bra from Brooks for years and have loved it. I am very disappointed that Brooks has discontinued the Maia and replaced it with the Dare Run Bra. The materials feel much cheaper in the Dare Run, and the fit isn't as good - instead of individual support I feel like my breasts are squashed together yet not supported. The optional cross strap is a gimmick without any real value. Bring back the Maia!

Not as supportive as my old brooks bra. The straps come off and Im not sure why that is a feature with an athletic bra? It is annoying.

It?s okay - but the straps chafe and unhook during exercise.

Run very small! Had to return ! Very disappointed

I wanted to love this bra because how well supported I felt when I put it on and went on my first run. But quickly I learned that the straps never stay hooked no matter what I try. I think youre better off trying one where you dont need to hook the straps manually because this has been frustrating battle every time I work out :(

If you are looking for a running bra, this does not compare to the support of the Maia. However- if you are large cheated and find it IMPOSSIBLE to find a supportive every day bra, this is the bra for you! I wear a 40FF and it is impossible to find bras with proper support. With that being said- I wish they would bring the Maia back for a workout bra! I literally and piecing my old ones back together because I cannot find anything else comparable.

Its a great bra and offers support and good looks. Wish it was in white or beige. Had to go a size larger around the rib cage.

I'm a 44DD, and I bought this to see how it compared to the 44DD in Maia, which Brooks no longer makes. The fit is okay, but the material is odd. I couldn't wear this to work out in but wear it on the weekend when not working out.

The cups fit, but it was too tight in the band. This caused yucky back bulges. The 34s are too big and the 32s are too tight. Dilemma. I cross train: equestrian and cardio/stretching/weights.

It seemed to fit fine, but upon wearing it, the material stretched so much that I felt like I was wearing a leisure bra. Lacks support!

I bought this to try in comparison to the non-underwired Dare bra. After years of wearing underwire sports bras because I thought I had to (I wear a DD), I was delighted to find the lack of underwire does not affect the level of support. So I am ditching the underwire in my sports bras. However, this bra does provide a very nice silhouette if that is your priority. Either way, the Dare is a comfortable, supportive bra.

Comfy. Fit tight. Wish I had a bigger size. Good quality.

Loved this my first run but it quickly stretched out. A few weeks in and it?s good only for yoga since the support isn?t there for running. I?m a 34D. Waste of money since I paid full price hoping it would hold me up for running. Non supportive bras are everywhere for a lot less. Disappointing since Brooks bras used to be the best

This is my go to sports bra for high impact. Its comfortable and very supportive. No uniboob. Straps are nicely adjustable and dont dig in or fall down. Its important to check after washing to make sure the straps are hooked back in to the right hooks and in the correct position. Highly recommended!

I was disappointed in this bra. It did NOT keep the girls from bouncing at all! The straps in the back were confusing too, and not something you can just put on without adjusting. They came unhooked in the wash so had to figure out how to put it back together.. I just want something to throw on early in mornings to go for a jog, I don?t want to work a puzzle at that time of day. I wish they?d bring back the old Brooks bras back. The were the only ones that held my DD/E?s in place while running. This bra would be ok for low impact for larger breasts such as yoga or walking.
