DOES THE JOB, BUT THERE'S BETTER OUT THERE NOW....

Great range of colours if you're into that sort of thing. They fit well and don't chafe much under 15 miles. I still think people who wear them as outer wear are a bit nuts though....

They do dig into your shoulders a bit and you end up trying to move them around to get comfortable.

I have found something that suits me better now so I probably won't pay the extra tenner these cost, but I think its a good bra from a trustworthy name. They do eventually "give" though and it's ibvious when its time to chuck them out!

NOTHING MOVES!

Being DD size, this is the first sports bra that I have come across that really thouroughly supports. It is easier to get on because it closes like a normal bra.

Can't think of any...

Great supporting bra especially for bigger cup sizes.

AS ESSENTIAL AS MY TRAINERS

Extremely supportive, even for larger busts; nice colour; can be worn as outerwear if you're that way inclined; excellent wicking properties

Only a one-hook fastening at the back on each band - two would feel rather more secure; odd sizing means buying online can be difficult.

A decent sports bra is as essential for a woman as her trainers, regardless of her bust size. Shock Absorber have come up with a stylish yet comfortable bra which compresses without feeling too restrictive. The support was so good that the first time I wore it I didn't pay any attention to it at all and it was only on returning home that I realised I had been using my arms properly rather than holding the girls...!

However, be warned: it's unlikely you'll wear the same size as a normal bra so trying on first is a must - the band is very tight and you may find you need to go up at least a band size to be able to fasten it even on the loosest setting.

Top tip: buy two. There's nothing worse than raring to go running only to find that your bra is merrily taking a spin in the washing machine. The wicking qualities may be great, but not quite that good.

EXCELLENT SUPPORT

No movement whatsoever... very little rubbing, very comfortable.

Can rest a bit heavy on the collar bones making them a little sore when you wear it the first few times

Very very good!
