    34H

    Didn't fit

    This bra is available pretty cheaply on ebay, and that's what drew me towards it. I needed a sports bra, didn't want to spend too much money, and I heard good things about this model. This bra doesn't work for me. I heard that the band ran crazy tight so I went with a 34 (I'm 33 under so I switch between 32 and 34 bands) but the band was crazy stretchy and too big to be supportive. This is the type of sports bra that squishes everything down so the too big band really just negated everything the bra tried to do for me because the bottom ... would slip down and my boobs would just end up laying against my torso. As you could have guessed, because the band is so stretchy I fail the bounce test in this bra majorly. It's barely better than just wearing a regular bra but too bouncy to do any sort of exercise. Aside from the band problems, I think I just have far too much projection to be able to make a compression style sports bra work. After scooping and swooping into it, my boobs just fold at the top because it's too shallow and they don't like to be squished down.

    30F

    Didn't fit

    I absolutely love this bra! It holds my breasts firmly in place, even when playing ultimate frisbee. Even better, it has enough coverage that I feel comfortable going on a run without a shirt, which is nice in the hot, humid weather of my locale. (But not so much coverage that you feel like you're wearing a shirt anyways!)

    I'm finding that with use, I need to tighten the upper set of hook-and-eye closures, but that's a result of accidentally ordering a cup size to big because of a conversion error between UK and US sizing.

    28G

    Didn't fit

    From what I've heard of Shock Absorber, I thought I should go up a band size. After trying the 30F, I felt that it might not be true. The 28 band is certainly snug, but it is a sports bra, and I didn't feel like I was unable to breathe.

    I tried 28FF and 28G. The 28FF gives me some serious quad boob. The 28G fits much better and does not give me quad boob. Still, both of them had a bit of bounce when I jumped around. I don't think the 28G fits better because I'm actually meant to wear that size... it's probably because of my wide/shallow boobs that I got quad boob with the smaller size. I could see this bra giving top-heavy boobs some serious quad boob.

    30DD

    Didn't fit

    Awesome, well-engineered sports bra. The cups are sewn with panels to provide support without wires. No bounce, even when running or jumping.

    The band runs about a size tight. My usual size, 28E, was too small, returned for a 30DD and it fits very well.

    30F

    Didn't fit

    I bought the 30F used. The previous owner had altered the straps to be shorter because she was 5'2". I thought it might work since I am also 5'2". Alas, it's not perfect...

    First of all, I think I should've gone with a 28 band. I only went with the 30 because I heard the 28 bands are really tight. Perhaps the previous owner broke in the bra? The band isn't terribly loose, but I think given that it's a sports bra, it could be a little more snug.

    Secondly, the quadboob! Seeing as I wear somewhere between 28E and 28Fs, I certainly didn't expect the 30F to give me quadboob. I think I'd have to try a 30FF or 28G. Of course, it could be that the previous owner altered the straps so much that they are really tight on the loosest setting.

    Despite the band and cup issues, I still think this is far better than my Target sports bras.

    32DD

    Fits

    Found this runs small in band and cup, so recommend sizing up (I wear a 30E in the Panache sports bra for comparison). Offers excellent support for running, albeit that I have fairly small boobs.

    28H

    Didn't fit

    Technically, this bra fits, provides adequate control, and all that jazz. However, the way it mashes my boobs down is unnatractive and feel sweaty and constrictive - my breasts get mashed downwards and against each other, which is bound to get real sweaty, real fast.

    The sort of racer style back holds everything in place, but presses down uncomfortably on my shoulders. There's a sling contraption inside but it's non obvious how it's supposed to interact with my boobs - it just sort of mashes on top of them.

    I've yet to find a comfortable, supportive high-impact sports bra in my size. This one certainly isn't the worst, but it's not winning any awards either.

    What an awesomely well made bra, but the band is WAY too tight. I can only fasten it if I "suck it in" and get help from my boyfriend! It would probably be a great fit on someone who needs a 26 band.

    32F

    Didn't fit

    I got this bra because I was in need of a racer back bra and the Shock Absorber Ultimate Gym bra just did not work for me. I haven't actually used it yet but here are my first impressions (for the record I purchased the blue/yellow colourway).

    I got this in a 32 instead of a 30 and I think that was a good choice as the band feels comfortably firm. It feels secure across the chest with the top closure hooked on the loosest hook and I didn't have any problems during the bounce test. What I like about this bra compared to ... the Shock Absorber Ultimate Gym bra is the upper closure. It sits a bit lower on the back, the the closure is a regular hook and eye closure with three columns so it's easier to reach and easier to do up.

    Review will be updated once I have a chance to work out in it.

    Post workout review:
    Just for context, I do martial arts and that usually involve a lot of quick twisting actions like when I'm punching. I feel that both the upper and lower hooks are too loose and needed to be set to the tightest setting in order to get the support I really need for the type of activity I do. I think next time I would try a 30FF.
