Perfect bra for running! It has soft fabric so it doesn't chafe or irritate skin. Good support and very comfortable. Will buy more when I need to!

Favorite all time work out bra ever!
Very soft, sits along my skin very smooth. Doesn't bunch up or gap.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
This bra has been life changing for me! I’ve never had a supportive everyday or sports bra without wires. This is the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn and it looks great under my Lululemon tank tops. I can’t wait to replace all my sports bras with this one.

I love this bra, it's the best running bra I have ever worn. I loved the previous style, but the straps were a tiny bit short for me. This new version is better - maybe the sliding straps allow it to adjust to each individual a little better? Whatever the case, the shoulder straps fit perfectly for me now. And everything else is perfection: smooth fabric, just feels like a second skin (but with great support!), and so comfortable I never give it a thought while running. I have a bunch of these bras and they are the only ones I ever wear now for running.

So comfortable but also keeps the boobs secure WITHOUT squeezing my ribs to the point where I can't breathe. I won't buy any other bra for running again! Love this!!

Super comfortable! Love it. Washes well. Seems to hold up so far. After 25 years of sports bras, definitely my FAVORITE. Does not give me bra over hang on boobs or side flank fat buldge. I AM 44 NOT 24 now but still athletic. It's Sturdy. Especially for an athletic body shape and build (broad shoulder and B size little boobs). Please do NOT CHANGE THE FIT OF THIS bra! In fact, I wear it as an every day bra now because if I am not on an intentional run, or outdoor activity, I still am active every day in the yard or for work.

I have always used and loved the crossback run bra. The updated style is still super supportive and functional. I did need to size down with the update fit. Once I sized down (from 32 AB to 30 AB) it was a perfect fit. My favorite part of this bra is how smoothly is goes under a T-shirt.

The only reason this bra did not get 5 stars is because of the straps. It could be my own body but the straps come right across the I upper traps, to close to the neck. I personally would prefer for the straps to be moved to the left about one inch. Otherwise, the bra is very supportive and comfortable.

If this had adjustable straps it would be a 10!!

It provides good support and is sized appropriately. It got me through my first 5k in 10 years with no discomfort! Just wish they weren't quite so pricey.

Bra fits well and provides decent support while jogging. Ordered up a band size due to my wide shoulders, but it still stays in place. Straps migrate toward my neck, which gets annoying. Size 36B.

This bra has a lot going for it. Being able to convert it is a huge plus. Since you can clip the straps together after you put it on, it's much easier to put on than bras that require you to pull them over your head. I took off a star because there's too much fabric across the top when you wear it in the clipped positionit bunches up severely across the top. It runs small compared to my size in a street bra.

I was worried about buying a bra that pulls on over head; but was surprised at how easy this bra was to get on and off without back clasps. The bra is very comfortable and extremely supportive. It did not ride up like other bras I have tried. I would have preferred adjustable shoulder straps but would definitely buy this bra again.

Love it! I chose this because the padding is attached. I hate ones that the padding comes out. The overall design is nice as all the seams are stitched to be smooth. The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts was that whatever was used to do the stitching is slightly itchy. I'm hoping this goes away with use and washing.

It's soft, fits well, and supportive without being restrictive; however, the unfinished edge on the bottom has caused some chafing. I have to fold it over so it doesn't hurt me when I run. Other than that, it's awesome!

I loved the zippy green color and criss cross, but the straps were too long and loose on me, and unfortunately you can't adjust them. So it just was not going to work.

This is a comfortable bra but lighter support. Has bounce when running, but perfect for yoga or non impact activities.

It's a great, supportive bra for running. If I could fix one thing I'd make it easier to get off. I about dislocate my shoulder every time.

I love this bra. It is extremely comfortable and fits well. I have a similar Brooks bra I purchased a year ago that's slightly stretched so I was a bit apprehensive about this purchase. I can feel this one stretching a tad but it's still working well after several months of use. My only complaint/reason for four stars is that the shoulder straps ride up my neck. They will often show even when wearing a t-shirt. I lift weights and have some extra muscle on my shoulders so not sure they are pushing the straps up or if it's just the design. It isn't really a problem working out although I'll sometimes readjust them to make more comfortable, but some days I wear it to work because it's my most comfortable bra. I have to carefully pick out my top or wear a scarf to prevent the straps from showing. I know that's not the bras purpose but bigolly I sometimes just want to be comfortable. I'd buy the bra again.

This bra is ALMOST perfect. I love everything about it except for the fact that it chafes me quite a bit under my boobs only in one spot close to my armpit. Otherwise, this bra is great. The material is soft. The fit is nice--I'm very small chested, and it isn't too roomy despite my lack of boobs.

Maybe I got the wrong size but it doesn't fit quite like the other Dare bras. It's comfortable to wear but kind of a lot of coverage.

Good, supportive bras. The pads are sewn in which is always nice - and the stitching from the pads does NOT poke you! Always a plus! I am a 36C sometimes 38 C depending on the brand - these are definitely more supportive than just a regular every day bra - however, I don't use them for high impact as they're not tight enough. Maybe more of a medium impact bra.

It is a nice bra holds the girls in place. Unfortunately it still chafes. I had hoped it would not being flat or no seams. It also is a little big but that is more me as I am a 35 B/C which isn't a size. Overall I like it but it didn't stop the chafe.

Straps slide around in the back a little bit more than I'd like. But I like the overall cut and fit of the bra otherwise. I use this bra for CrossFit rather than just running, so maybe I'm moving my arms around too much for how the straps are built?

I absolutely love these bras, and the only reason for the four-star rating is that after six months of weekly wear and washing/line drying according to manufacturers' instructions, the side panels begin to curl outward. I wish they lasted longer. The style, fit, support, and comfort are all five-star.
