Customer Reviews Brooks Three-Pocket Sports Bra

This bra looks great, is very supportive, and doesn't budge BUT the band is stiff and left me with quite a bit of chafing. I think this bra is great for short runs, cycling, and yoga but I wouldn't recommend it for anything over a half marathon distance.

This is so cute and super comfy buuut when I took it off after a half marathon I recoiled in horror at how badly it had chafed! I looked like I had come out of a horror movie. The band on Brooks sports bras tends to run a little too high for my torso, and definitely did not work for me over a longer distance. I'll wear it for shorter runs and reaaaalllly hope that they fix this design in the future because I love everything else about it! The green color is super pretty and fun, and I love the higher neckline.

Runs incredibly small go up a full size for band and cup.

Material is nice but definitely runs small so size up. I have another brooks running bra in the same Size but fits great

The material seemed nice, but I had to send it back because the pocket was too small for my phone and it was impossible to get the phone in it after it was on.

I loved the color and the fabric, but the pocket is very difficult to reach if you have limited shoulder mobility. It also didn't hold my iPhone 13 Pro with the case on. I have a bigger chest and I still had a lot of bounce/movement in this bra. Probably would be fine for an easy day or doing lower impact activities. It didn't seem like it was worth the extra cost for a non-functional pocket and mediocre support, so I returned it.

The neck of the bra is really high and uncomfortable

The bra seemed nice, but sizing was wayyy off. I wear a 34B in my daily bras, ordered a 34B here, and would probably need to go up a few sizes for this to fit...at least 36C. I wear a medium in Brooks shirts but have had issues with tank/t-shirt sizing.

Pros: the bra fits well, the pads are in small sewn sections and seem to stay in place more easily, and the back pocket is unusually easy to reach. Con: the high neck chafes many miles earlier than other sports bras. I will wear it on shorter runs, but I'm disappointed this design doesn't work well for more than 5mi and won't buy another one.

Unfortunately, these bras are too large so am unable to use. I wear a 34B in bra and thought these would be the right fit but I should have purchased a smaller size, I guess. A disappointment.

The bra is comfortable, For me, the back pocket is useless. It's difficult to get the phone in and out. I feel like my arms are not long enough. It's fine if you don't need to take it out.

Cute design. Hard to get into and out of.

It was smaller than expected, but it works well and pockets are very nice

Pros: this bra is stylish, works great for low and medium impact activities. The cut allows for comfortable arm movement. No issues with chafe. Found it good for yoga, gym lifting weights, ok for casual tennis if opportunities to readjust. Pocket are there, i haven't needed them. Cons: Band seemed ok when tried on and jumped around but maybe loosened with use or just wasn't tight enough to begin with. Got 36 based on measurements. Would try smaller band and larger cup size but already this is difficult to get on/off over my shoulders with this band. Will remeasure and consider trying different model or size. bought through a retailer (not brooks) so not sure I can return at this point after wearing several times. Bring back rebound racer! haven't tried the "dare bra"(i'm told it is the equivalent of rebound racer) as i'm not a fan of padding and in my local retailer my size was not available but will consider it. Finding a new sports bra is expensive, complicated, and on top of that disappointing as trial after trial is unsuccessful and retailers often don't have all the sizes available to try in store. I was a competitive middle distance runner throughout college and beyond. Rebound racer was all I wore. My 4-year-old, worn out, rebound racers are still better than anything else I can find new. Wish I had stockpiled before they were discontinued. I think this may be the second apparel review I've written in my life: the first one was for the rebound racer (5 stars though it deserved even more!)....can you please bring it back?

To be honest I could not wear this bra and was so disappointed. I even measure based on what they said a size 36DDD would be. So gave it to a friend, I will have to go into a store and try this bra on.

I really wanted to love this bra! It was cute, fun colors, and had a pocket for my cellphone. However, it is laying in the return pile. Material is comfortable and the compression is good. I was fitted for this bra before purchasing it. There was too much side boob and I was busting out through the cute design in the back like a roasted marshmallow between two Graham crackers.

I wish there was a bra that didn't have removable pads inside! It's so frustrating. This bra is extremely comfortable, but the inserts are O cheaply made- and come out and get all bunched up. No bueno!

This is a fantastic sports bra, but definitely NOT a running bra. I'm a 34C/D, but ended up keeping 36D because 34 is way too tight. In terms of support, it's medium at best. The design is smashing - it's really fun and comfortable and the fit is excellent once you find the right size. But you can't shorten the straps and that means you can't reduce the bounce. And sadly the bounce is way too much for a run. In short, if you want a very cute and well-designed everyday or yoga bra - this is 10/10. However, if you want a running bra and you're a D cup, this is terrible. Also, I ordered the yellow and in reality it's a dull mustard, it's a rather unappealing color. The Navy and Vivid Teal are gorgeous and true to the online colors.
