Customer Reviews Brooks Dare Racerback Run Bra 2.0

Great support and comfort. One of the few running bras that provides enough support without at least mild discomfort (I wear D cup). I don't mind wearing this for hours before and after high-impact activities. This racerback is particularly good for martial arts--freedom of movement for my arms, no jiggle during high jumps and sudden movements.

Material was nice. like the straps but the notches for the straps dont go back far enough and I can't get the girls where they need to go if I was ever going to run in this. I wont be able to lift and secure them for a run with our bouncing. But i guess it makes a comfortable lounge bra.

Unfortunately Ill be returning this one. Zero support, poor construction, flimsy, not at all a suitable replacement for the Maia Moving Comfort. Im not sure what motivated Brooks to end the Maia, but it would be great if they brought it back. Nonetheless, while I continue to buy the Mens Addiction runners, I wont be buying a bra from Brooks again.

The best sports bra I've ever owned. Excellent support for small band + big cup combo.

So tight!! Honestly, I dismissed other reviewers' comments, thinking - "oh sure, but most good running bras are tight" - but I ordered my usual size - 34C and couldn't even get the clasps to meet in the back, let alone actually clasp them. Might try ordering a larger size, but...not sure it will mean the rest of the proportions will work.

Very supportive, unfortunately they never have my size available so I always have to order slightly smaller and have the dreaded spillage. I have 3 of these bras, I do feel they are supportive however the material is horrible. Its very much like a lightweight wetsuit, not breathable in the slightest. The moment you are done working out and start your post run stretch you get chilled because all of the sweat that is trapped in the bra. Originally I recommended this to friends however I cannot recommend with the knowledge that it is not breathable.

Sadly its a weird fit. I chaffe when I wear this bra.

Lovely bra but unfortunately it's nearly impossible to put on/take off. Requires contortionist skills or someone to assist.

Mine was great for run number 1 but it ripped for fun number 2. Back to the old school jog bra.

Our local running store said the sizes were comparable between this and the Brooks Juno but I should have looked online at reviews. Ordered the same size as my junos that I love and couldn't even get it on. Returned it immediately. Not sure I'll try another size because I didn't love the fabric. It's very "hope you're the shape that fits this bra" type material. Didn't seem flexible enough to bother with.

Ive been running in this bra for about two months now and have been happy with the level of support. Ive solely ran in Brooks bras for years and did not love the first version of this bra but the 2.0 is much better in fit and support. It was very tight to get on initially and I thought I ordered a size too small but after the first wash and couple of runs, it fits comfortably and is easy to get on. Very happy with the updates that were made! I am a 32DD for reference and previously ran in the Brooks Juno for years.

The band of this bra so was tight that I couldn't even come close to getting it on. It also seemed very stiff so I just returned it rather than trying to find a size that fit.

This was the recommended replacement for the Moving comfort Juno bra which I have worn for years. I have even brought my Juno's to the taylor to get new clasps put on them because I can't find anything that fits as good. Brooks recommended this one. While it does hold me in, the band is much too small. I could try a larger band but am concerned the overall size will be too large. Also the way the edges are raw, it doesn't seem like it will last very long. I don't wear it much because it's so hard to connect the band. But it is already wearing out. Like I said, I've had my Junos for a ridiculously long time, and they still work. I'm adding this review because I really hope Brooks will think their retirement decision to a best seller. It's hindering my workouts.

Welp, now I know why this bra was on clearance. I liked the color, but the design and material are horrible. If I could have given this 0 stars, I would. The material is odd, almost like a wetsuit & is unforgiving which makes it difficult to get on and adjusted. I'm familiar with the design where you have the adjustable straps and hook at the back & is a good style for larger chested women & anyone who needs more customizable support. I had a lot of trouble getting it pulled over my hips, it was so rigid. I was determined to get it all the way on though, so I could give it an honest chance. I have trouble getting sports bras that are supportive enough, and I could overlook this flaw if it did the job of supporting the girls. I was sweating by the time I got the straps adjusted. Once on, it was so uncomfortable that I immediately took it off and put it back in the bag to send back. For reference, I am 5'5" tall 150#, fit and naturally curvy. I was so disappointed in this bra. Brooks... you need to bring back the Juno. My last one is 7 years old and is falling apart, but still does a better job of supporting me than any Brooks sports bra I've tried since.

The material is nice and the strap design is smart but not good. Im short and there are not enough loops to make it tight for me. I ended up cutting the straps on the back and removing 1 and sewing it back together. Not all runners are tall.

Nothing will ever compare to the Rebound Racer (please bring it back!!), but this bra is a close second. Having a larger chest (34 DD) makes it hard to find comfortable bras, but the adjustable straps on this one don't dig into my shoulders. The cups are slightly uplifting which is nice, and the band is "soft" underneath so it doesn't dig, but it still provides sufficient support. I unfortunately still have to double up on sports bras when I run, but this bra is great for weightlifting, traveling, hiking, and everyday use. I would recommend to my other larger chested ladies! I got it in black, and I love it.

Takes a few wearings to comfortably & easily put on/pull off. But I like the feel of the fabric & that the straps adjust.

Very hard to put on and take off

Not enough support, the older versions were much better, this is not up to my expectations

The size is not accurate, I bought one cup bigger and yet it's a bit small both in cup and in contour.

This bra has the support that I need and is very true to size

Comfortable but doesnt provide any support for plyometrics or running. Material is too flexible and despite having loops to tighten, still leaves the straps too long.

I really wanted to love it, but on my longer runs the seam edge along the front bottom and top center of my chest rubbed fairly badly and cut into me. Not a long run bra, but I might use it for shorter tempo paces as it is very supportive.

Once it's on, it's great it fits well and it hold things in place very comfortably. Getting it on seemed like a bit of a challenge, and then getting the straps adjusted.

Love the sports bra. I am a 34 DD and it keeps me well supported! Wish the length was a tad bit longer! I have to pull it down several times when running.
