So hard to get on. I went up a size hoping it would be easier. It wasnt. Felt like a workout that hurt when I tried to get it over my head without ripping the fabric. Then I still needed to fasten the clasp. Horrible. Returned it.

This bra has zero bounce. The straps are adjustable which helps tailor the fit based on activity level. The bra was easy to get on and off. Very comfortable and supportive.

Will Brooks make the Racerback 2.0 Sports Bra in a 30 band? I bought the 32 band size and love the bra except its already getting too loose on the tightest setting because Im a 30 band. I tried the limited styles available in a 30 band and those styles didnt work for me. Would love to see more 30 band options - Im sure there are plenty of other runners in a 30 band that would like a good high impact bra too! Thanks for considering!

This is a solid bra overall. It holds you in and is pretty comfortable. Two things to note:
First, I found the sizing to match my regular bras - 34DD but when I first tried on the Brooks bra, it feels like I'm going to bust the lower band. However, the sister sizes are too loose, even on the tightest hook. After a couple of runs, the bra band feels fine.
Second, cut the tag out as it'll chafe on a long run. My short runs (<60 min, no issue with the tag), but during my half marathon, it was problematic.
I would purchase again as I do like the racerback style.

I have not worn this yet, so I can't speak to how supportive it is or how it feels while running. I did want to make others aware that while this bra is marked as good for "nursing moms," it is not nursing friendly. The straps do not come undone completely like I was under the impression they would. Unfortunately I missed my return window (mom brain for the win), so I may use this at some point, but I wanted to make other nursing mothers aware because it's so difficult to find a high impact sports bra that is nursing friendly. It seems like a nice bra, but I'm frustrated that this is marked as good for nursing moms.

I hold my running sports bras to tight standards, and this one passes! Fits true to size.
I'm a 34C, but i ordered a 32D because I'd rather a running bra be too tight than too loose. It is a little hard to get on, but once it's on, it holds, and that is what matters.

Easy adjust in front. Fits well: 34D. Provides a good tight fit that prevents bouncing.

I'm giving this one a 1 star in terms of compatibility with distance running. I have never had a bra that fits well chafe so much - front, back, sides - it was so disappointing, especially since it felt like it fit so well at try-on and on shorter runs. If you're considering this bra for a 5k, it's probably good to go, but if you're running 7 or 8 miles or looking to go for a long run to train for a marathon or ultra, I couldn't recommend this bra.

I loved how the bra was designed and the feel. Im rather large chested so this style works for me. I ordered a bandwidth size up and I couldnt even get it on, it was way too small. I had to return it

This is one of the only bras that fits well, and keeps me comfortable in a long run without chafing. The big drawback is getting it hooked in back. (Or maybe I just need to do more yoga classes!) Aside from that awkwardness, I love it!

I was a little bit worried when I first tried to put on the bra because the bottom band seemed too tight, but it fits perfectly! It's sometimes a bit challenging to get on and off, but once you've got it on, it is AMAZING!! So so impressed with how adjustable this bra is, and I'll probably buy more in the future.

Nice fabric i just couldnt find the right fit for me 40 was way to big and I got chafing at band. A 36 was way too small I dont see the 38 working so I gave up. But I really want to love this bra the material is great and not a lot of seams so I didnt think it would chafe on long runs. This bra is definitely Worth a try though!!!

I need lots of support from my running sports bras (38DD) and I know that racerbacks are harder to get on but this was ridiculous. I'm returning this and am disappointed because it would be nice to have a racerback in my rotation instead of all scoopbacks. I am used to struggling into sportsbras because I need them to be snug for support but I'm not going to ask for help gettting into one! lol After reading other reviews that say that after wearing a couple of times, it's easier to get into, I considered trying but thought, I don't want a sports bra that stretches out and breaks down so easily. It's unfortunate. I loved the older model sports bras from Brooks.

Dont waste your time and money on this bra, the material is so cheap it completely stretched out and was frustratingly useless after only a couple runs.
Ive been looking for a high impact bra for trail running that was supportive enough for a D Cup but can accommodate a small rib cage. I tried a 34D and it was a great fit in store, however after only a couple shorter runs the band stretched so much I can no longer get it tight enough and theres extra puckering in the front. I might as well be running braless. Ive included a picture of the ancient bra Ive held on to/prefer to use because somehow this sad thing is still more supportive than brooks newer design/fabric.
Until Brooks goes back to using higher quality fabric they arent worth the high price.

I like the design of this bra and how firmly it holds me in place, but in my first wear the bottom band started rolling up almost immediately, and the straps stretched out enough that I had to switch from the loosest to the tightest setting, which makes me concerned about the durability of this bra.

I wasn't able to give this bra a test run because it was way too small. I should have listened to other reviews and ordered up.

I first bought this bra in a navy color and loved it. Great fit. Great support. Love how the straps lock in so they dont slip down like other bras I own. I loved it so much I bought a second one in a fun color (speckled). I do not like the speckled one at all. It feels like a different material and the bottom band cuts me. After a three mile run I had an angry red line. Next tine I used it I out a lot of body glide around that area and still had an angry red line where the band hits me but more on the sides.
I really loved my first one and now Im scared to order in another color in case I end up with the same cutting issue.
