Shock Absorber Max Wire Free Sports Bra b4490 Reviews

This is a very comfortable and effective sports bra, but I have to agree with other commenter that it is difficult to get into and out of. Carol from Florida

Not going to lie, finding a bra that works for me is almost impossible, but I did it. There are not many options to choose from, and they are all expensive, but totally worth the investment. I have jogged and did martial arts (which involves flipping and rolling in addition to jumping and running) and felt secure. Sharon from Clemson/SC/USA

I've worn Enell prior to finding this bra and it holds me better than anyone I've found while horseback riding! It changes my center of gravity and I would highly recommend it. Debra from Hutto, TX

Great sports bra. I am a runner and have just started competing in triathlons. Needed a good sports bra quickly for my first triathlon. Reviews were correct. This bra went from the swim to the bike to the run without a problem. Can be worn alone as a sports top. Minimal bounce while running. So excited I immediately ordered another one & also purchased the D+ Sports bra B109 for an upcoming half marathon. Far superior to any other similar garment I have owned. Sizing guide was accurate. Normally wear a 34H in sports bras. The 34FF fit well in this model. So glad to no longer have to wear a regular bra with 2 to 3 'sports bras' over that followed by a compression top with additional support built in. No chafing, even after swimming in it.

This sports bra is a lifesaver! I can swim, run and bike in it! Don't make the mistake of missing this jewel. Meghan from Alabama, USA

I liked how supportive this bra is, however putting it on is difficult. I have to slip it over my torso in addition to hooking the hooks. Jennifer from reno NV US

I bout this bra along with Shock Absorber B5044 Infinity Sports Bra. I returned this because you can see you breasts popping out underarms, not enough support. I recommend Shock Absorber B5044 Infinity Sports Bra instead , it is much better coverage as a top and much better support michelle from miami beach

This bra is awesome! I have a 3 month old son and have struggled since before I was pregnant to find bras that fit. Now that I am trying to get back into shape (since college and baby), I searched for a sports bra that supported. I have had soo many that ride up and I fall out the bottom or as I jump, they come out the top. Most also stretch terribly and become unsupportive. This one; I was so excited when I recieved it. I tried it on immediatly and jumped and jumped and there was NO movement. Finally a sports bra for a busty nursing mom that allows for a great workout! Thank you!!! Stacey from WI

This bra was recommended by staff at a lingerie store in Chicago and I love it! The store only had it in black so I ordered it in white from HerRoom. It is super-comfortable and the support is amazing. Mary-Lisa from Chicago, Illinois, USA

A little difficult to get on but overall I really like it. Very minimal bounce, hardly noticeable. Perfect for running. E from Georgia

This bra amazes me. A 40L is my usual size, but this 40HH does the trick (I know that different bra manufacturers use different scale in their cup sizes). I never thought I could find a sports bra that would fit such a large cup size, but this bra really holds me in snugly, and is comfortable to boot! The tiny clasps in the back make it kind of difficult to get on, since you have to wear it so snug there is not a lot of slack to work with, but once I manage to get everything clasped it works great!

this bra won't take the bounce away but it's a lot better then A LOT out there. I had to find a bra for my first Triathlon and I am also nursing a 4month old. THis bra was a life saver it went from the water, bike, to the run with ease and it didn't stay wet or damp thru out. I'll be buying more of these for my workouts and training. I would give it more stars but right now I need to see how this bra is going to hold up durning a multisport event especially the swimming Veronica from Houston, Texas

Overall I was so happy with this sports bra. I finally found a brand to hold my girls when running. I have tried them all. I am definitely buying more. The only problem I have is I get like a rug burn under my arm where the fabric hits. I use Vaseline in that area to help prevent it. Deb from Ridgefield

This is a very comfortable bra that reduces movement well. It does a decent job of separation for a non-underwire bra. I do not find it difficult to put on at all. Unlike previous reviewers, I did not have to go up one size. I have been looking for a sport racerback bra in my size for a long time and I am so glad I found this one! Sally from New York

HerRoom did a great job with getting the bra to me quickly. The bra is exactly as described. I haven't been for a run yet, but I feel very secure in this bra and believe that it will be great for activities higher in impact than walking. Having a large cup size, it is difficult to find a good sports bra that can really handle the girls - I think this one is it! Only 4 star because when I do mat work the back hooks are uncomfortable.

For the first time in my life I can hit the gym and actually work out and not be embarrassed or avoid some exercises just because of my bust. This sports bra is GREAT! As soon as I put it on, I felt like I could conquer the world. No bounce even when I jumped or shook my shoulders. My girls have met their match!! The only thing is that I needed help to get the second set of hooks. But it doesn't matter, the bra is so great that I'm getting another one. K. from Boston, MA

Beautiful bra! Very, very supportive and almost pretty with the cutout detail in the back. Easy to get in and out of and quite comfortable. I had to go one cup size bigger but returns are no problem. I hope this company continues to make sports bras as this is one of the best ones I own. Boxing Squirrel from Fairfax VA US

Wow! After trying several different sports bras, this one is by far the best! For soccer, I need a high impact bra that is comfortable as well as functional, this one felt great, stayed in place, and was very supportive. It actually felt ok to run, which is rare for me! i highly recommend this bra for ladies with larger cup sizes! becca from san francisco, ca

This is by FAR the best bra I have ever owned! I can't believe how comfortable and supportive it is! It fits perfectly, holding in the "side boob" effect that I often have trouble with. There is almost no bounce. I love the racerback style; it feels very stable, unlike most bras, which slide around on my back. I'm seriously considering using this bra for everyday wear; it's so much more supportive and comfortable than anything I've ever tried (and I've tried lots of bras in lots of sizes, let me tell you!). This bra is more than worth its price. Kristie from Indiana

I think it has the look most expect for this type of bra. For this cup size it would be nice to have two individual cups with a razor back for better support . Seams are well placed since we most likely need that type of support make the best of it. Julia from salem, Or usa

I love this sports bra! Since getting breast implants over a year ago this is the first sports bra that I have found that actually works! It is very supportive and I have absolutely no bounce, chafing or moving around. I do wear a lighter sports bra on top if I am going to be running or doing something really high impact, but that may just be me, as I like absolutely no bounce. However, at the gym on the elliptical this bra is awesome. The only downside to this bra is that I have to have my fiance fasten the top hooks for me as it is practically impossible to do it yourself once its on. Trying to fasten it first then put it on didn't work well for me either. In my everyday bras I am a 28FF, but in this bra I wear a 30E. Maria from Rocklin, CA

The best bra I have ever had. Sports bra are hard to find for people as large in cup size as I am... This bra holds me up, eliminates painful bounce and makes me feel secure enough to run... I LOVE IT!!!!! Susan from USA

This is a very good bra which can adjusted in many ways to make you feel comfortable while getting good support. The only thing you need to be aware of is that it's not that unnoticeable when you wear a smooth top on top of it. Susan from Round Rock, TX, USA

I was really excited about this bra after I read all the reviews, but the cups were way too small. I usually am a 32D but I bought a 32DD just to be safe, and even that was too small. It barely covered everything and was not supportive enough. Alex from Seal Beach, CA

Wow - this bra really works! I had lost hope for a sports bra that would work for my cup size, but this one actually does! I don't find this bra comfortable to wear in general [kinda like wearing a boa constrictor that is squeezing you to death], but it does immobilize the girls so I can run and work out - which is worth the squeeze for sure!
