Royce Impact Free Sports Bra s826 Reviews

I ordered a 34D and a 32DD, which is my normal size. Went with 32DD, but probably should've ordered a smaller width and cup size for better compression; however, after a few uses, I feel this still would not have given me good enough high impact support.

Royce Response: Sports bras do need to fit snug but if you feel you are not getting enough support from the 32DD that you purchased we suggest to go down a back size to the 30 & up a cup to the E cup to get better support. Foodie2400 from Irvine, CA

This sports bra was too small. I reordered, from a 36D, to a 38DD, which is not my regular size. The 38DD fit beautifully. The return policy of HR is such that fit problems are easily taken care of. And the customer service person I spoke to was pleasant and knowledgeable in fit and return service. Terri from Burlington Vt USA

BEST BRA EVER...I have not even tried on the second bra I bought, I've worn this every day since I received it. My size clearly makes it nearly impossible to find a comfortable and supportive bra...this one does both. I've bought literally hundreds of bras for the past few decades and have found nothing that comes close to this one...buy it!!!!! wendi from michigan

After recently beginning to run again, I needed a bra that could keep me from bouncing during activity. Although this bra does unfortunately provide the dreaded uni-boob experience, it does also keeps the girls from moving around! Finally, a comfortable sports bra that keeps me from being in pain from bouncing! I tried an Elomi & a Shock Absorber, but this Royce fit much more comfortably. The cotton is breathable, the lack of underwire is very comfortable, and I am happy to be out beating the pavement with little bounce. Robin from WA

I believe I measured correctly and the only helpful comment I may have is that you may want to order one size larger. The 34 was snug. I wonder if the reasoning is that the bra will stretch some after wearing and after 3 washes mine is still snug...a very good thing if the fit is comfortable but I wish I had ordered a larger size and tightened it with the hook and eye. I will definitely order another but this time a larger size. I do zumba, weight lifting, yoga, and palates and the fit is wonderful for all activities. I have also worn this bra under street clothes and it looks very flattering. Sharon from Pesotum Il USA

I was happy to finally get a sports bra close to my size. I read some of the reviews before I made my purchase and probably should've sized up, but was concerned it would not give me enough support. The cups fit okay, but the band was too snug, so I added a hook extender (didn't like the velcro either). I would've given it 5 stars if the band had more give. Royce, thank you for making a sports bra in a larger cup size. Can you make more sports bras in a JJ or K cup please? Trish from Albany, NY

This is a great bra. I only knocked it down a notch because I have rotator cuff problems, and getting it on is not easy. I cannot hook the bra in the back, and it doesn't lend itself to hooking in front and then twisting it around. However, I really like the hook and loop closure over top of the regular hook and eye closure. A great idea. I don't put it on unless I plan to wear it all day, since it isn't easy to get on, but it is comfortable and works very well. Jane Ann from Cumberland, Virginia

runs tight around and there is little side support so you spill over under your arm pits. Returning it.

Royce Response: Sports bras should be worn firmly around the ribcage to give the best support while exercising, however if you find it too tight, go up to a 36 band. If you were spilling over the cups then the cup size was too small, so you will need to to up a cup size. Try a 36GG for a good fit. SY from Seattle

I love this sports bra. This is the first time in my life I actually own a sports bra that fits. Thank you I will be back to order the white. Rose from Wilmington, Delaware

The cup shape on this is puckered and leaves one with this fold at the nipple of the bra. The rib cage band rolls, and becomes uncomfortable. The positive about this bra is it does take the weight of my chest off my shoulders. I have not used it for any running or cardio activities, yet, so am not sure if it truly holds one in place while exerting one's self. regi

Ordered true size and it was too big. Seemed like it would have worked if smaller.

Royce Response: You didn’t say if it was too big in the cup or around the body. If it was too big in the cup, keep the band size the same but go down a cup size to 38G. If it was too big around the band only, go down to a 36 but go up a cup to keep the cup fitting the same 36H. Taylor from Frederick, MD

I was so excited to try this bra after reading many positive reviews. Unfortunately, it provided almost no support. I ended up returning it.

Royce Response: It sounds like you may need a smaller size. Be sure to make sure it fits firmly around your rib cage and ensure to tighten your straps. To achieve the best support from this bra the neckline needs to be worn high up to prevent bounce. Lisa from New York, NY

The sizing on this garment is not industry standard, but actual measurement. Other than that this the first time I have ever purchased a ready-made bra that fit comfortably without alterations. Tabitha from Chicagoland, IL

Cup size inaccurate

Royce Response: Hi Pat, The fabric of a bra can often effect the size and fit of the bra. For example a stronger fabric will have less give and may feel too small or tight and a softer fabric will have the opposite effect. This may have been the issue here but it is also important to keep in mind that British sizes do vary from US sizes. Pat from Ga

Love this bra! I've actually started wearing it instead of my other bras for almost everything. Its so nice to be supported. I didn't give it a five only because it has this extra Velcro closure in the back on top of the regular hooks. I don't care for that but I really love the brz otherwise.

Best work-out bra for those needing firm support. Strong enough to sustain LOTS of washing and drying. Lenore from Tulsa, Okla.

Awesome fit for someone who has a large cup size, but not as large girth. Does not leave you pointed out like torpedoes. The underwire is a little uncomfortable when seated, but ok when walking or running. I love the way it changes to a racer back. I wish this same bra were made with something as strong as the wire used, but doesn't cut when seated. Would make it 10 stars for me!! By far, my best sports bra yet! Anita from Jonesboro/Ga/USA

This is by far the best bra I have ever worn. It holds me both up and down, thus minimizing some substantial inertia. In standard bra sizing, I wear a 36L - be aware that the chest band on this bra is measured in inches, not standard sizing. The J cup holds me exactly - which is pretty amazing in and of itself, as I have so far found 1 other bra which does so without embarrassing cup shaping - forcing my breasts into unnatural shapes.

This is the only sports bra that I have found to fit me and I even tried the one suggested by Oprah. I generally wear a 32 J in a regular bra but purchased a 34 J for added cup room. It's a good sports bra for high impact aerobic activity but it does ride up under your breast a little. I am more than willing to deal with this minor inconvenience. I actually wear two of the bras since it stretches out a little bit after sweating and being worn for a period of time. Wearing two solves my problem!!! AJ from Los Angeles, California

Great product and does a good job. I think the bra could do an even better job containing the bounce that occurs during running, or cardio classes, but it sure beats anything else I've found. Two comments for improvement- 1. Suggest hooks and eyes be in a contrasting color from the material of the bra for easier visualization, and 2. The band that lays under the breasts rolls up and should be made differently to eliminate that issue. It's very annoying! Other than those things, I am basically pleased with the product and would probably purchase it again. LCL from Gilroy, CA USA
