Bendon Extreme Out Technical Support Sports Bra 76-408 Reviews

This bra is really tough to put on. You need 6 hands! However, once you figure out how to get this think on, over your head, with straps in place, it's a great bra. I thought it would be better on minimizing bounce but it will be fine. True to size. T

Best sports bra ever! I love it! I've tried so many types as I'm an avid runner and horseback rider, but none compare to this gem. I'm going to stock up on these babies! I've never experience such outstanding support- this difference is the cups and underwire that separate and lift to virtually eliminate all the lateral jiggle. The cups are deep enough that I have very little jiggle on the top- my girls are locked and loaded and my running times are improving. I would give it five stars if it weren't so hard to get into it... TF from US

The bra overall, fits pretty well. It is more challenging than expected to get on if the straps are crossed b/c they latch in the back, and the cups are a little smaller than expected, but overall a good bra. Molly from Colorado,USA

I returned this bra some time ago because the fit wasn't right. I believe it was too big. Paula from Bear Lake, PA, USA

LOVE this bra!! Perfect fit! VERY comfortable although a little hot when exercising and working in the yard but I think any bra might be, but it's worth it considering the amount of support I get with this bra! It's simply amazing! They should use me for the bounce test LOL! I'm very satisfied and will be buying more! And the service is outstanding, very fast and courteous! Love HERROOM! The only place I will buy undergarments!!!! Thanks HERROOM!!! Cheryl from Wichita, KS, USA

Gives great shape & support, and is very comfortable. Runs small in cups & is pricey though Submitted from TheUndies.com

Very good control, holds the girls up nicely, a little uncomfortable but really does the job. Also - it's a bit difficult to get on, a little assistance with the clasp is helpful. Once you get it on though, it has terrific support! Rebecca from San Francisco, CA

I wanted a sport bra without the uni-boob. This product seems to be well made and for high impact sports. Unfortunately it was at least one cup size too small and there was not any way possible for me to get it on if I crossed the straps (the band was true to size). I am petite and the wires would have been okay for me but the sizing was way off. After properly positioning my girls in it I had 4 girls instead of two and the extra 2 wear spilling over the top. I am giving it 4 stars because it was an excellent bra for the right person. I did not reorder it because of the cross strap issue, the hassle of returning and guessing at the next size to try hoping for a better fit (and if I guessed wrong then the cycle would continue).

I was pleased to finally find a sports bra for larger chests that came close to a racerback style, since there aren't many workout tanks that accomodate regular straps. However, this bra was near impossible to get on! Thank goodness my husband was home to help me or I would have been out of luck. Once on it is comfortable, but doesn't provide enough support for high impact workouts. Decent for medium-low impact though. Beth from Chicago, IL/USA

I like this sports bra, mainly because the straps can cross & it seems to be very well made. Having the straps off my shoulders is so much more comfortable during strength training, Pilates & yoga. Yes, it is a bit difficult to get on but is worth that extra few seconds battle! I still have some bounce during a few activities, so I'll classify it more for moderate impact. TMH from Hays,KS/USA

fits very well in cup and band width, the only problem I have is that the band is a little itchy. DeeDee from Pacifica, CA

Bra offers great support! As suggested in another comment, I pull it on and off like a T-shirt (with hooks open), and it's easy to remove/put on this way. Great support (running), no uni-boob, but no torpedoes, either. Great shaping! Bra seems to run just a bit small in the cup, but I was too impatient to have and use a decent sports bra to wait for an exchange, so I'm not sure if they run a full size too small or not. Slightly too-small cups haven't caused much problem, though, and overall I'm VERY happy with the support this bra gives me when I go running. Better than any sports bra I've ever used before!

This bra fits well, the underwire is comfortable and it keeps everything in place, even during an intense run. Also, I love the cross back feature. It's the only cross back bra that fits well in 32 DD and E (I wore size 32E last year, same bra, but have gone down a size.) Sheri from Bend, OR, USA

I love this sports bra. It provides great, comfortable wear even under extreme heat. I've used it for the gym and for golf at temps over 100. I previously ordered the wrong size and hated it. I'm ordering more. Diana from Naples, FL

Bra was very uncomfortable. Felt like the bra gave it me a uni-boob! Had to return it. AnnaMarie from Baltimore, MD

The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 is that it is really hard to get on. Otherwise, it is the best sports bra that I have ever purchased. I recently did a 500 km bike tour and had no back issues for once. This kept the girls close to my body, lifted and firm. Love it. mmj from Toronto, Ontario

I love this bra! I ordered a second one after wearing it only 2 times. It supported me wonderfully when I ran 4 miles in it. I also recently spent 8 hours in it while I moved boxes and furniture. It provided support yet felt like I was not wearing anything. It was so comfortable that I had to order another. I don't ordinarily care about what a sports bra looks like but in addition to providing support and being comfortable, it is adorable. I highly recommend this bra. Dawn from Redondo Beach, Ca

By far the best sports bra I've found. Practically bounce-less, although I still wear 2 bras. Bendon needs to produce a double bra! But honestly you don't need to wear 2 bras. it's truly a fabulous bra. Lynne from Carson City NV

I have 2, despite the "hard to get on" comments. I like the support and shape this sports bra gives me. The girls still bounce around some but not nearly as much if I were in a traditional sports bra. I pull the bra over my head (like a tee shirt) and don't have any problems getting it on. I like that you can change the criss-cross in back to regular bra style- to accommodate for my workout top. Allison from Boston, MA

One of the better sports bras I've tried. I normally wear a 34FF but went down a cup size in this one -- I thought it ran a little big. For running, I'll probably stick with another brand, but this is good for other activities. AK from North Carolina

The cup size on this bra runs a little small so I had to upsize and it's just a tad large, but overall it is extremely comfortable and wicks away moisture well. It stays in place really well without tugging at it all day. Sue from Raleigh, NC

This bra does an amazing job supporting those with a larger chest. It holds everything in place and reduces bounce. The criss-cross strap feature allows for wearing racer back style work out shirts. Submitted from TheUndies.com

LOVE this bra. It is not only an amazing sports bra with great support, I wear it to work and for everyday use- It is comfortable and is extremely flattering. It keeps the girls up and supports them like no other bra I have ever had. Highly recommend it for bigger busted women. Jessica from Huntington beach

I had a professional fitting for a sports bra and ended up buy this one as well as another. While this is difficult to put on, it provides the support, coverage and a beautiful natural shape to my breasts. I use this bra for day-to-day since it's so comfortable and stops the jiggles during my lunch time walks. My big breasts never looked so good. Eko from Canada
