This is by far my best ever sports bra. I love the shape it gives me and the level of support for running. The only big downside is that the underwire doesn’t seem to be very strong as it has snapped in 3 bras now. It always happens when I am out running. At first I thought it was a faulty underwire (I did contact head office) but it has happened again with 2 more bras. I only ever hand wash them and follow the care instructions.This is frustrating as at nearly £50 a time (including the postage fee) I don’t want to be buying at least 2 a year. I have tried the non wired bras but the shape is no where near as good so that is why I keep coming back to this style, even with the limited life!Please Bravissimo can you look at making the underwire out of a stronger ... MoreThis is by far my best ever sports bra.

I bought this 3 years ago and I’m just buying a back up now because I use it very regularly and I’m literally paranoid of it becoming damaged and this being out of stock!! It is the only sports bra that has ever worked for my (32g) that is very tight and keeps everything in place for my gymnastics training. I have never been able to wear a sports bra without a regular bra underneath for more support and this has saved me!! Thank you so much for accommodating for different sizes and compared to most others it doesn’t even look bad. I see most reviews say it’s too small but for me it was exactly true to size, and i’m so glad it’s right as otherwise it wouldn’t support me as much.

My daughter plays a competitive field sport with a ton of sprinting. She struggles to find the right support as at high speeds, she gets upper back tightness/spasms. She measures a 32DD. I ordered both the 32DD and the 34DD and the 34 is the right balance of support with elasticity for sprinting. Title9 helped us return the 32 for a second 34DD, and these bras are far superior to any other brand she's tried (and we've tried a lot). Much better than her other solution which is to wear two sports bras)

As a bigger lady on the front I was hunting for a bra that would let me run freely with support and without worrying. It does do that, it holds you in brilliantly. Except you can't clip the back, it's extremely difficult and I've tried so many times that I just gave up and have never been able to clip it at the back but thought the support of the bra is worth it to ignore that part. It's meant to be adjustable but the adjustment is a plastic hook which you slot in and out of different height slots. The problem is, during running it comes off frequently. The amount of times I have now been running and had my strap come off and I've had to put it back while in the gym is ridiculous. I now can't run anymore because I'm tired of it coming off. So the bra is now useless ... MoreAs a bigger lady on the front I was hunting for a bra that would let me run freely with support and without worrying. It does do that, it holds you in brilliantly.

So the bra is now useless and I spent too much money on it.
Still the best run bra for money I've found. It loses a point because I find the straps too long, so always wear on the shortest setting from new, and sometimes the strap hooks can release from the bra unexpectedly, so I have to sew them in place to avoid sudden release whilst running! Also the upper clasp can sometimes fail to lock and then release unexpectedly. I also sew a triangle dart centre front as I haven't got the full round breast shape this bra is designed for, so dont fill out the top of the cup but that is a feature of all bras. This is by far the most supportive bra I've found and I've tried many other more expensive brands.
I recently tried the Wired Sports Bra, and it's fantastic! The fit is incredibly comfortable and supportive, making it ideal for any workout. I've worn it for running and yoga, and it held up beautifully without any discomfort.The material is soft and breathable, keeping me cool during intense sessions. Plus, it comes in various stylish colours, which is a lovely touch. I highly recommend this sports bra to anyone looking for comfort and style in their activewear!
The fit was extremely tight, more akin to a 32 than a 34E. The item arrived without a hanger, which seemed unimportant at the time. After returning it due to poor fit, I was perplexed when informed it would be sent back to me without a clear explanation. Upon re-inspection, with tags still attached, I discovered grey marks on the front that I hadn't noticed before. Had I seen them, I would have contacted Sports Direct immediately, though I doubt it would have changed the outcome.I won't argue over £14 or engage in endless back-and-forth without proof. However, if the marks were present upon initial inspection, it leads me to believe the item had been returned and resent to me. Such practices are frankly unacceptable. I question the thoroughness and consistency of ... MoreThe fit was extremely tight, more akin to a 32 than a 34E. The item arrived without a hanger, which seemed unimportant at the time.

I do plenty of high impact sport (running, HIIT, CrossFit) and have bought three of these over the past few years because I can't find one I like better! The clips at the middle of the upper back make me feel firmly strapped in, and create a racerback look which means straps don't show under my gym tops. The neckline comes up far enough at the front to prevent too much bounce without feeling suffocatingly high. The straps are adjustable and never dig in, so it is overall really comfortable. It is not padded - which I personally prefer. In regular non-sports bras, I am a 32DD but choose 34DD so that it is not too tight, but still compressive enough.
Don’t even understand how this bra had 4 stars average in the ratings! Everything you’d hate was present in this bra. The band is at least 1-2 sizes too tight (normally I’m a 32 in band, read reviews and bought 34 and it was still a struggle to get it on loosest clasp). Once you get it on, it’s a total uniboob effect, no separation whatsoever. Then the worst part is that despite the uniboob squish and the super-tight band, I felt it did not give me enough support or bounce control. I wore it to do cross fit in and was very frustrated with the amount of bounce I still felt. Huge disappointment and I wish I could send it back at this point, but I had taken the tags off and washed it, so I guess I’m stuck. Hopefully this review will help others avoid the same mistake! ... MoreDon’t even understand how this bra had 4 stars average in the ratings! Everything you’d hate was present in this bra.

In the same order, I also bought the other shock absorber bra style. I did like that better. Better separation, band not as tight (still go up a size though). Still not a ton of support, but ok for moderate bounce activity (wouldn’t run in it).
The sizing for this bra is weird. As many others have mentioned the chest sizing runs small. I also found the cup size ran large. I initially ordered a 32DD. It was uncomfortably tight around the chest, but the cups were too large. I exchanged it for a 34D, but the cups were still too large, It is also really difficult to put on. I decided that I wasn't going to want to wrestle with it each day as I'm quickly trying to put on my workout clothes.
