Shock Absorber Arc-Control Sports Bra b5046 Reviews

I was expecting the bra to be a bit small but was a perfect fit. I found it to be very comfortable and supportive during and after a good workout.The only downside I found with this bra is the difficulty in getting it on and especially taking it off. If there is a downside that would be it. Otherwise, it's fantastic! Bonnie from WA USA

What a great sports bra. Yes it is a little cumbersome getting it on, but it provides excellent coverage and support a full bust and especially for high intensity workouts. Rita L from Hoboken, NJ

Very good support, but this bra is much to cumbersome to bother with... as someone else reviewed, you would probably need help having someone fasten the back. Also, when I've worked out and am extremely sweaty the last thing I want to do is fight getting out of my sports bra. I didn't find it very user friendly, but it will definitely keep your girls in place. Gwen from California

Its easy to put on and great fit and support from this bra! It is thin in material and gives the support that you need! Love this one and I would recommend this bra! Gene from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A beautiful bra, but too complicated. It both goes over the head, then fastens, so unless you have long limber arms or someone handy to fasten it for you, it's a real pain. Plus it tends to twist and roll up in the putting-on process--if you're even a little bit sweaty, nearly impossible to put on or take off. If you're skinny, limber, and don't sweat, a definite yes. chickenprof from Salt Lake City UT USA

I literally cannot find a way to put this bra on. I'm busty with a narrow chest (32"). The band doesn't open AT ALL and it's absolutely impossible to pass a 32" band over my F-size breasts. Unfortunately, I removed the tags so I will not be able to return it (sigh). Kathy from New York, USA

Very supportive as a workout bra - I call it my Thunder Down Under bra because that is where it keeps it! Annette from Ogden/UT/USA

This sports bra was VERY tight despite being the size I wear in other styles/brands. The adjustable straps are nice and it seems like it will give good support when I do find the right size. Definitely recommend sizing up on this one! Meri

Specialty size sports bras are expensive, few, and far between. At 5'0" 34DD, a soccer player and runner, I can settle for little. This bra holds surprisingly well for the thin feeling material. It was actually comfortable hours after I was done exercising! Definitely recommend this one. little rib cage big boobs from colorado

This is a great work out bra. Totally holds "the girls" in place when working out. No bunching, flopping or any uncomfortable It's awesome. michelle from GA

I Love this sports bra. I have been looking for a really good bra for the girls, and I have finally found one. This bra cuts down on the bounce when I work out, no more having to slow down because of the bounce. The strap across the chest really helps, I highly recommend this bra, Love it!!!

This sports bra is amazing! It provides great support for me while running. Its easily adjustable and keeps everything in place. Not only does it do its job, but its also cute unlike a lot of sports bras for larger breasts women. I highly recommend this item. Katstrom

I am very happy with this item. It is by far the best sports bra I have ever bought. I will definitely buy another one in the future. Smith from MI, USA

I love love love shock absorber sports bras. This is not my first purchase of this brand but it is through the US. I was buying shock absorber out of country at first. They are expensive if you are comparing them to a discount store special but this bra is top of the line! it is the ONLY sports bra that works for me and makes me feel Very secure. I play basketball, run, Soccer and ultimate frisbee. I purchased a frog bra at the same time from a different site and i am sending it back. There is not enough support, and there is bounce when worn. Kim from NM

Great fit and control for large busted gals. Submitted from TheUndies.com

My advise, just buy it! I followed the advise of one of the reps and went up a band size on this one, the fit is absolutely fantastic! I take zumba classes and would leave every class with sore breast, sometimes I couldn't even do all of the moves because of all the bouncing around. Since I purchased this bra, it has been great, I can do all the moves without any soreness!! Mechelle from Vernon, AL USA

I wore this sports bra for the first time yesterday while I worked out at the gym. I have decided it is now my favorite, and will be buying a couple more so I will never be without! I am fairly large chested, so it is hard for me to find sports bras that are a) big enough, and b) supportive enough to hold me in place. Throw in the fact that I am a nursing mom, and it's nearly impossible for me to find a sports bra that will meet my needs. I decided to give this one a try, and am so glad I did! It gave me great support throughout my work out. Hardly any bounce at all! Fit me great, and I was able to nurse my son while wearing it!!! Not exactly one-handed release/fastening, but at least I was able to do it without completely removing the bra first! It is kind of difficult to get on and off, but that's the only downside I saw to it. And well worth it for the benefits, in my opinion! Melissa from Oak Harbor, WA, United States
