Customer Reviews Brooks Dare Cross-Back Run Bra 2.0

The fit around the band is great but the straps in the back do not stay in one spot. I'm constantly adjusting the straps in the back as it slides up when working out.

I was disappointed. Not the support I was looking for.

I didn't read the description closely enough and didn't realize this sports bra isn't adjustable at all. While the band may have worked, the shoulder straps were far too big to provide the fit I needed. If I'd paid attention I definitely wouldn't have chosen this bra, because I always need the option to adjust the fit for my own shape, particularly in the shoulders. Shame, though, because at least the color was pretty.

The original Moving Comfort/Brooks Fiona has been my go-to bra for five years, even for every day. I was so disappointed to find out a few months ago, when I was looking to order a few more, that they'd been discontinued, along with the entire MC line. I had read in a couple of my running group pages, where bras are discussed constantly, that the new Brooks bras didn't compare, but a couple of the ladies actually liked them, so I decided to give this a try. Well--those ladies must not have much that needs supporting in the first place. Once I got this over my head (my fault for being to excited to get such a pretty color to realize that it was a pullover) and the girls some what situated in the cups, it was clear that the C/D wouldn't do it for my. I'm a D-cup. And then in taking a short jog down the hallway to check out the support...oh, just...no. There's waaaaay too much bouncing going on. And if I size up a cup, they'll be too big and even less supportive. To call this a high-impact bra is very misleading, and if you've got any kind of fullness at all, needing good support, this is not going to do the job. For the love of God Brooks, please do yourselves and us a favor and bring back the originals! I'll definitely never buy another Brooks bra again. The hunt for a suitable replacement for my beloved Fiona continues......

I was surprised at the lack of stretch in this bra. It holds my chest in comfortably enough but the thick strap inhibits range of motion for me by putting pressure on the tops of my shoulders - ending up in a stiff left shoulder. For context, I work at home so often gear up in the morning, work from my computer, then go for a run at lunch. Wearing this bra for 4 hours in the morning gave me a stiff shoulder before I even worked out. 1 star for the great lavender color though, and 1 star in the hopes that breaking it in will lessen this issue.

The sizing seems way off. I ordered the size I wear in regular bras, but could barely get this one over my head, it was so tight. The straps also seemed way too short. Disappointed because I've liked sports bras from this brand in the past. Will be returning as it runs so small.

purchased 38 A/B - band was too large, cups too big (full at top - gapped)

I really liked this pull-over bra because it has no hooks or clasps. My plan was to wear this bra as my inner layer bra since I wear two sports bras for running. Unfortunately, this bra's cup sizing makes zero sense. I am a size 38C. The size choices are between 38 size CD or AB cups. I selected the 38CD, which has too much gapping underneath my arm pits. I used the Brooks sizing tool and it states I am a 38 AB bra size. Ladies, have you ever seen a size C chest fit into a size A bra cup size? The other Dare Sports bras offer sizes by each cup size: A, B, C, and D . Brooks please rethink the cup sizing on this bra.

If there's any sort of running involved in your workout and you have a big chest, it's useless. It is however comfortable, but gives you the uni-boob look.

Warning!! Bad rash not kidding. I have never had a problem until I purchased three Brooks Crossback 2.0 sports brasterrible rashes under my breasts, alongside my underarms. I have had synthetic sports bras before and only with Brooks have a developed this issue consistently.

Please bring back the old design - the band and the closure on this design don't provide enough support for running or HIIT for me. I had to return this one and now I'm worried when my old ones eventually need to be replaced, I'll be devastated

Poor fit, poor design, and way overpriced: this was like paying for champagne and getting moonshine. I'm surprised Brooks allowed this to go to market, and more concerned that reviews rated it highly (if we can't trust other women to speak honestly about where we should invest our hard earned cash who's left to trust?). The fit was so poor that I wondered if a man made it (how can someone with breasts who presumably understands the function of a bra generally and a sports bra in particular get it so wrong?). I'd need to breastfeeding, pregnant, or be shaped like a football quarterback for this to fit well (I am neither of those things at the moment). The straps were wrong with no way to adjust them, the cups were just there (not at all supportive), and whoever designed this must have not realized the act of running requires women to wear a functional and supportive piece of running gear called a sports bra (this is not that). Very disappointed. I'll be watching to see if lower quality gear becomes a trend with Brooks. The fit and design was completely off (by some miracle it arrived with two cups instead of some other number, yet that's small consolation for a brand of this size and reputation). Please do better.

Terrible, especially at this price point. The band around the torso as well as the straps lose their stretch so quickly, it becomes useless and with no support. I don't even use it for running, but for Pilates. Took less than a couple of months to stretch out, but too late to return. Sadly I bought more than one, waste of money.

I bought one of these in black & liked it so much I bought another one in lilac. BIG MISTAKE! Although I laundered them the same way (Machine wash delicate, cold water, air dry on rack), the black one was fine, but the lilac bra lost its shape and stretched out so much I couldn't wear it. I mentioned this to a friend who had the same experience with the lilac. Don't know if they are manufactured in different locations with varying contractors, but the lack of consistency means I will not purchase again.

I wore this bra on a longer run and the support was great but at the end of the run I was left with a horrible friction burn from the edge of the bottom band. It ended up scabbing over it was so deep. Unfortunately that raw edge ends up being pretty sharp.

This bra is deceptive and cheaply made!!!! The size is not accurate!! Runs extremely small!!! DO NOT BUY!!!

Does not do a single thing for larger chested woman. I would like to return it, but unfortunately, I've already worn it.

These RUN SO SMALL. According to the size chart, I fit into a medium. I am 5'6 wear a size 6-8 and 34C. I received my sports bra. Though it is super cute, I dont think it would fit my niece. These are not sized correctly. I could not even get it on over my head!!!!!!

This is probably the most disappointing running bra I have ever purchased and the most priciest. I have done 4 long runs of about 20 miles in 4 weeks with this bra and had to cut my last run short because of the lack of support. It seems the straps loose electricity after more than 3 uses. Super, super disappointing. Won't purchase again.

I was extremely disappointed in the fit of the Crossback 2.0 Sports Bra. I was excited to see the color (lavender), but when I tried it on, it was too big. The fit was fine around the back but the straps were too baggy. Love Brooks Glycerin shoes but I wouldn't recommend any of the apparel without trying on in-person

Padded without the ability to remove the pads. I do not understand the recent trend of padded sports bras.

These bras are not supportive, they stretch out and have weird under the arm gaps. Initially I though they might be ok, but after a few wears and increasingly stretched out-- I am not a fan at all. I am so disappointed the previous uplift crossback bra is not available- those were my favorite. Please bring them back, with the clasp on the back and the tighter underbreast band

I followed the sizing chart and I think maybe it is too big? I love the seamless design and it feels nice but after a 2 hour run I had really bad chaffing under my armpits area where the top side of the bra was. It does seem a bit loose in that area.

Not comfortable to get on or off. Runs small in both cup and band size. The first time Brooks let me down on products.

It works great in terms of running, but the color is absolutely ruined on it after one wear - I didn't even wash it. I cannot for the life of me figure out how these neon yellow blotches appeared, but it looks awful. I'm hoping to chat with customer service for a refund or exchange ASAP.
