Great support, very comfortable. Highly recommend it. Runs a little bit small I had to go up one size.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 only because it is kind of a pain to put on (but not impossible as others have stated). It is SO worth the struggle because it is wonderfully supportive when it is on!! I disagree with the comments about the shape being unflattering. For a sports bra, the shape is actually very nice! I normally wear 32G, but got 32F in this bra and the fit is perfect.

This is an amazing bra. Very well made and comfortable. I had to go one cup size bigger to get the proper fit but returns are hassle free.

This is a very well constructed sports bra. It's probably overkill for anything under a D cup but for larger sizes it's perfect. Using the sizing chart provided by Bendon I still had to go up one cup size. It still has a slight amount of bounce when jumping but for every day sports activities it's great.

I like the style and that it gives me the option of going Racerback or regular strap. It gives me good support and nice look. The band size seems slightly larger than my other sport bra but I think a 32 would be too small so I am keeping it. I can do Zumba exercises in it and get the support I need.
Thanks for having these choices available I am so happy to find sport bras for my size and shape!!!

I love this bra!!! I work out a lot and my job requires me to be on my feet and moving all day and this bra is one of the few that truly gives me comfortable support to be on the go and moving. It took me a couple bras to figure out the right size but it is a great fit, comfortable and has great support. I initially bought it just for the gym but want a couple more for everyday use.

My favorite sports bra in my size. Bounce is the most minimal in this sports bra versus any of the others I've tried, the fabric and fit is very comfortable, and the support is fantastic, especially with the straps criss-crossed. I was so happy to see it back after thinking it was discontinued last year. Bendon--please keep this forever!!

Super for my daily work. Fit for cup was small, and I went up from a dd cup to an f - HUGE difference (forgive the pun)! Soft and flexible. I (personally) have a bit of a problem getting the bra on if it has crossed straps (hence the 4 stars not 5), but that is an option so I can re design them as needed. Supports and doesn't squish so there is a bit more shaping and not a flat "blob" on my chest! Heavy duty but comfortable material. Straps are great for me, sturdy and not oppressive. Cup size is vital for fit.

The material is dreamy, NO CHAFFIING, and very supportive and easy on the shoulders. A design I've been waiting searching for, forever!

This is by far the best sports bra EVER! I have told all my friends about it and this site. The straps have gel in them that make them really comfy and the fit is tight and secure but still gives me a nice shape, no mono boob here.

Overall, this is the best bra I have ever owned. I needed a bra whose straps didn't rest in the dents in my shoulders, and once I found this bra, I have continued to purchase them. They hold up well, but like the poster below, the underwire poked through the bras relatively quickly, on every single bra. I put a patch over the spots where the underwire poked through, because the bra overall was worth it. I found that these bras definitely run big. I always wear a 36, but in this bra, I wear a 34.

This bra was wonderful in the begining and like many of the other posters said, offered exceptional support with superb bounce control. my only complaint is that the bra didn't hold up well, after about a year of wear and wash, the metal underwire on one side has poked through the bra sticking me in the chest. Although, I tried to repair it by pushing the wire inside and stiching the hole, the wire eventually made its way back out. I have bras that cost half this price that have held up better through wear and wash. I would only recommend purchasing this bra if you don't mind replacing it every year.
Bendon Response:
Bendon Sport's high performance bras are constructed with the finest materials and technical expertise available. To keep your sports bra working as hard as you do, we recommend the following:
Only hand wash and line dry your sports bras. This may be a bit more time-consuming, but well worth the extra effort.
Alternate your bras. Try not to wear the same sports bra two days in a row. The "rest" will allow it to retain its elasticity and regain its shape.
A bra should be retired after being worn or washed 100 times as it will not offer as much support as needed. The general rule is to replace bras every 6 months - 1 year.
