I love the shock absorber sport bras. This bra keeps my boobs contained and stops 90% of bouncing. Both the band and cup run at least one size small, so size up!

This is a really great bra for any activity. Kick boxing, jump roping, you name it. I had to buy a size down, but I bought the same brand and almost the same style after having had a good experience with this one. However, one of the hooks did fall off and needs to be repaired. I think the hook coming off was a design flaw, because it only has a two hook system, and three would be better.

This is tiny both in the band and cup.

This is a compression-style, non-encapsulated sports bra. It was a GODSEND to me years ago when I bought it - you know, when you've been wearing an underwire and at least two "compression" sports bras over it and that helps the pain but you're still bouncing all over the place...
I will say that I owned this as my only sports bra for many (not very active) years and though the tag is basically worn off the rest of the bra (read: stretch/compression) is still in great shape.

Anyway, shock absorber is a great bra, but I'm a firm Panache Sport underwire convert now.

This is a cute sports bra that generally fits well! I still wear a balconette underneath it to reduce bounce. I notice now that my boobs are a bit bigger (especially when I am on my period) I get a bit of quadding where the top criss-crossed layer digs into my tissue just a tiny bit, which is noticeable if I am wearing a clingy tee shirt. This band runs really tight, though, so fits more like a 32. If I were to change the size I'd keep the same band size and go up in the cup if possible.

It is white. I got this used and the band measurement from hook to last eye is 22.8". Before I put it on it measured 22.2".
This band feels like a 28 band to me. I know sports bras are supposed to be tight. It is nice that the band is tight. I like the three hooks instead of 2.
I do not like how stiff the fabric is in between the cups. I am close set with center fullness and the where the cups separate is very stiff and uncomfortable. I had marks on my inner breast tissue after only wearing this for 5 minutes.

It was an absolute nightmare getting this bra on, the back is ridiculously tight yet gave absolutely no bounce control at all to my bust (wide, short roots, slightly fob)
It hurt like hell to do up the racer back, squished my bust and gave me quadboobs.
Horrid

if your underbust measures between 22-26 inches with a bust of 36-38 inches, then this will probably be on the comfortably snug side without having to go through pesky custom orders or alterations!! :3

Pros:
-Reduces bounce
-Double banded back allows for more personalized tightness and looseness levels
-It's stood up very well to very high usage
Cons:
-Too small in cups, my boobs run over the top and I have a ton of cleavage
-Awful shape
-Band stretched out quickly
-White part is not very white after sweating in it

awesome for people who prefer an extremely snug fit and absolutely no bounce during their workout

This is a pretty nice small band / large cup sports bra if you have narrow breasts. I would prefer something wired but all the major brands have gore widths that are much too wide for me.

Pros: Well fitting band and very supportive. Comes in a bajillion colors.
Cons: Definitely squishes my boobs together.

Other reviews are accurate that the bra runs a little small. I made the choice to size up the cups instead of the band and that was definitely the right choice. The band fits very nicely. The neck is pretty high - it makes it supportive but maybe less "cute". Check ebay for good prices as well.

Reference: my standard bra is the Cleo Lily in 28G.

was soo hard to put on, when I finally did it gave me no lift or bounce control at all - all I had to do was wiggle a bit and I had major bounce in every direction.. so there's no way I'd be able to jog in this. I tried 34F as well but couldn't do the back up fully

This bra is really soft and really comfortable! It fits everywhere for me except the cups. The cups are way too big for me and the cups wrinkle in the middle. While the bra encapsulates really well, there is no compression for me at all, so it doesn't do me a whole lot of good for vigorous activities. I may keep it for yoga or other low impact activities.

Great fit, really reduces bounce for running and other sports. Very comfortable, first sports bra I've had that fitted properly!

This seems like a good quality bra but ordered the wrong size so it does not fit me. It is brand new with tag still attached. It is wire free with a racer back and has a headphone wire holder attachment.

I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top.

The bras band is really snug I'm not able to close it without using an full extender. Weaing that bra to tight makes the cups work as a part of the underwire so the cups become smaller.
To me the bra offers great support and is comfortable to wear.

To me this bra offers great support even if it presses my boobs on the body it makes kind of a rounded shape.
The band runs really tight it feels like a 28 band in for example unpadded Cleos. The cups seem to be true to size. The straps are a little too short for me which could be a manufacturing error since I never had this problem before even though I also own the bra in 28DD.

Extremely wide and shallow, with a very tight band. The gore measurements are deceptive, since the wires stop short of the gore. I thought this would work for my close-set breasts--and it might, if it weren't for the other fit issues. Alas, seems I'm stuck in wireless sports bras and doomed to cleavage zits forever.
