V supportive bras for jogging and running however, having bought 3 bras, one particular one in black had a sewn in seam which is almost like plastic and eats into my skin. The other two bras were fine, unfortunately because the sizing was right i had taken off the labels and worn and only found out once I had tried to actually use the bra. A real shame because the bras are really supportive and have used before.

I do like the shock Absorbers but the sizes are strange. 2 Bras were the same made , Max support sport both fitting but but band size 34 are different lengths one is a bit bigger than the other. So I can wear one with back hooks on 3 -1 and the other only on 2-1 . The ultimate run in 34 /DD was definitely 2 sizes smaller so I had to send it back . Also please make it a free return , your free return label still deducts the amount on the refund . !! I would have reordered but as the band size are so different . I will again buy them in shops who sells shock Absorbers bras ,so I can try them on .

I love the high impact shock absorber, so comfortable, but wanted to try another style, couldn't make it work! The disappointment is in the return system, which is not straightforward, and very disappointed that I had to pay for return postage. I will now look for somewhere else to buy the product from!

The shock absorber sports bra arrived promptly and service was good. The bra size was smaller than expected ans had to be returned. You need to order at least one or maybe even two sizes bigger. I didn't try again as returns are chargeable. 😞

The bra was very supportive, however I was very sad I had to send it back because I couldn’t fasten it without the help of another person which is not always possible

I went through the quiz to figure out what sort of bra a need and if i needed to size up for my exercise class. Really disappointed in the fit and comfort of the bra. It doesn't fit and it has rough seams. I was recommend by a friend to try this brand, I persevered and wore it for a 2nd class. Still not happy and can't return it!!!

The best thing about this bra is the effective bounce reduction. I am a 32E and have yet to find a better bra for a lovely secure fit for energetic training, especially running. My review would be 5 stars however there is one fatal flaw with this product which is the ridiculous rubber logo plaque stitched into the centre of the front band. I am training for a marathon, after long runs I had two little horizontal welts where the rubber logo plaque had abraded my skin. My solution was to tear off the rubber logo, which worked perfectly. Now as soon as I buy a new bra I get my nail scissors out and remove the plaque. But honestly, Shock Absorber, why is this plaque there in the first place? Not many women work out in just a sports bra so it’s difficult to imagine there is a branding opportunity for a garment almost always worn under something else and not visible to the world. If you want to brand your bras please consider printing a logo on the product, causing no harm to us long distance runners.

Felt like good supportive material but unfortunately had to return as the band was too tight, despite the design I bought being labelled on the website as true to size and should order normal bra size

I've always been a fan of shock absorber sports bras but a little disappointed with the service this order. I purchased 2 bras online, one on sale and one full price, but for some reason I only got sent the full price one and a refund went into my bank account for the sale one. I say for 'some reason' because I don't know the reason. I didn't receive any emails or calls to explain why, I just saw the refund appear in my account. 3 stars for the quality bra and speed of delivery.

Hi Natalie, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. I have taken a look into this for you and can see that you received a refund on the 27th of December due to us not having the Multi Support in Blue Print in your size. Stock Errors like this are rare so we can only apologise for this. When issuing a refund for this we always follow up with an email to let the customer know so I can only apologise that you did not receive this.
