    Fits

    I love this bra! It is the best sports bra I've found. Encapsulation sports bras just don't seem to cut the mustard for me and I don't get any less bounce than I do in my regular fitting bras. But this one, it holds them in place even during a vigorous sitting trot, horse riding, they just don't move.

    30G

    Didn't fit

    When I first bought it, it fit okay. A little small in the cups, but I figured that was okay because it was a sports bra. I did find that my breast wanted to escape to the sides, though the bra tried to push them together and flat. It looks really ugly underneath a shirt, showing all it's lines and seems, while creating a weird shape to your bust. As a sports bra it seemed to function okay.
    My favourite part was the way the straps in the back are designed. Having the two sets of hook-and-eye closures in the back makes it hard to put on, but was really comfortable once on. It ensured that the straps never slipped off, and was overall pretty comfortable.
    Now that the cups are definitely too small, though, it is very very uncomfortable.

    Didn't fit

    Holy crow! I'd read reviews about how ridiculously small the Max was before buying, but I figured as long as I used my "high estimate" numbers when buying it I'd be fine. Totally wrong! I don't even have to talk about specific fit, because this is just comically tiny, let's say three sizes smaller in the cup than it says on the label. I'd be laughing if I wasn't heartbroken, because it seems pretty high quality. Don't order this one unless you have free returns, because you'll be sizing blind. Band fits OK, though maybe somewhat loose for a sports bra.

    34DD

    Didn't fit

    I was unaware that this bra was sold by US sizing as opposed to UK sizing, so watch out for that. The bra is listed as a 34E US and a 34DD UK. I did not have the same issues with the band being too tight as other women had, so I am ordering a 32F (US) to try. It compressed my boobs fairly well (I'm generally around a 42" bust, down to 36") and kept them mostly in place, but I am worried that the band will stretch out when I run, as has been a concern with other purchasers.

    Didn't fit

    I have two shock abso's this size, both quite tight - other one fits well and another's too tight. I thought that was impossible to ever happen! Hence just okay comfort.
    Cups seem to be about the right size. It keeps breasts really firm to the chest minimizing all bouncing. I prefer this flat style rather than cone or push up style as I think boobs are in the way while doing sports. Keeps boobs separate, which is great as between boob-sweat won't be a problem.

    32DD

    Didn't fit

    I ordered this online and unfortunately it fits differently from B5044 (the Run Bra), so the band is too big! I like shock absorber bras, but I wish they would have more consistent sizing. I am going to order a band size down and hope that fits better. It was quite comfortable on and seemed to have pretty nice support, maybe about the same or even better than B5044. Luckily, my little sister liked it so it wasn't a total waste to order it. I've been trying to help her find good ones so she doesn't have to wear a Target bra over her regular bras when she works out and I'm so glad she has one that does just that.

    Just as a side note, the back isn't nearly as hard to fasten as you might think, just fasten both hooks in front, turn it around, and carefully ease the straps into place! (It is a bit difficult to get off, though. Definitely require some contortion-y twisting!)

    34D

    Didn't fit

    I can't give a very good review of this bra just because it was sent to me by mistake. I ordered a 32D and 32DD, but got a 32DD and 34D instead. The one thing that struck me was that the band is not as firm as in B5044 (the Run Bra). It was quite comfortable and actually felt true to size. (As in, it fit me like most 34D's do.) So I would not suggest ordering up a band size in this bra.

    32B

    Didn't fit

    It's a good, comfortable sports bra, which fit me well when I was a 30C in other bras but still fit me when I wore 30D bras as well.
    I think this one is unusual because it has two rows of hooks and eyelets at the top as well and usually this model is only supposed to have those from a D cup up. It's level 4 in Shock Absorber's system, so it's fine for running, riding ...
    It's a compression bra, so it didn't give me the most flattering shape, but it still looked fine under a shirt.
    So far the band hasn't stretched out.

    32FF

    Didn't fit

    My under bust ranges from a super tight 28.75 to inhaled and loose 31, so I ordered a band size 32 since I saw they ran tight. Trying it on, everything fit as it should. Jiggling was minimized but I did not feel like was wearing a medieval breast plate like I usually do when I wear sports bras- so that was a huge plus! The cup fabric was nice and silky feeling so I wouldn't have any nipple irritation either.

    To test out the bra, I wore it on a camping trip to Joshua Tree. The back side of the bra is very open ... with only straps and some mesh which was helpful for keeping me cool in the 100 degree heat (well as cool as you can possibly be at that temp). Cup fabric did great at wicking away under boob sweat, so I only had sweat gathering in my cleavage, which I'm fine with on a compression bra.

    The major problem with this bra is it runs extremely tight. Halfway through the day my lungs felt very compressed, like it was too difficult to breathe in. It got to the point where I had to unhook both sets of hooks to give my intercostals a rest. When i measured the bra once home i discovered the stretched band was 30.5 inches, not even close to 32! I'm hoping this stretches out but until then I do not plan on using it for anything over any extended physical activity.

    As for cosmetics, the bra has lots of seams and almost all of them show under tech clothing. Boobs are minimized but the monoboob isn't that pronounced. It also looks super cute when worn shirtless, especially if you manage to pick up one of their colored ones https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    34H

    Hasn't set fit

    My band size is a 33 and I ordered this in a 34. The band is slightly loose, so I definitely could have sized down. As for the cup size, it compresses the breasts very far back and I don't get much bounce. The bra seems to compress and somewhat encapsulate the breasts to keep them in place. I can finally jog, jump rope, and do just about anything in this bra. The straps are adjustable, meaning that they can be made shorter or longer which is very nice since I have a long torso. The straps can be pulled slightly in, but I don't like their position, just resting on my shoulder blades. I would prefer if it was a true racer back or the straps sit farther out. If I am doing alot of arm and shoulder exercises I prefer to wear a racerback over this bra, but I love this for cardio.
