Designed specifically for runners, the award-winning Ultimate RUN bra reduces bounce by up to 78%* and provides ultimate friction-free comfort.
Infinity-8 support system counteracts the breasts figure-of-eight movement during running
Soft, seamless inner reduces rubbing or chafing
Non-slip, wide padded adjustable straps
Reflective tape across cups for high visibility
Full back opening for easy on and off
Made from moisture-wicking, breathable fabric, sports performance fabrics
*University of Portsmouth 2009 (Scurr et al); testing carried out against "no bra" conditions.
REASON WHY & BENEFITS:
Extreme bounce control thanks to the Infinity 8 support system (or “combination”: compression + encapsulation) based on 3 layers:
Inner one-piece front panel to compress both breast together.
Middle part with Simplex to encapsulate each breast separately.
Outer cut & sewn construction to compress both breast together.
Up to 78.6% of bounce reduction*.
Full adjustment: double back fastening with a back clasp positioned at an ergonomic point of the body to full the cups towards the back & thus fix the breasts.
Winner 5 years in a row at The Running Awards and highly recommended in the 2021 Health & Wellbeing Awards
Bra Features: Regular Back, Non-padded, Comfort, Easy On/Off
 
Sizing Tip: This style can come up small. We find it best to try a band size up from your normal size. This means if you normally wear a 34D, we recommend trying a 36D.
 
Item code: S5044

I do plenty of high impact sport (running, HIIT, CrossFit) and have bought three of these over the past few years because I can't find one I like better! The clips at the middle of the upper back make me feel firmly strapped in, and create a racerback look which means straps don't show under my gym tops. The neckline comes up far enough at the front to prevent too much bounce without feeling suffocatingly high. The straps are adjustable and never dig in, so it is overall really comfortable. It is not padded - which I personally prefer. In regular non-sports bras, I am a 32DD but choose 34DD so that it is not too tight, but still compressive enough.

I bought a 34DD and it is a tight fit. I usually wear 32DD and my ribs measure 30.5 so you really do need to buy a size up! It works really well when running - the support is excellent! It has normal bra hooks at the back and another clip a bit higher up between the shoulder blades. That clip took me a while to get the hang of but I got used to it.

Provides good support. Not had a bra before with the top fixing at the back which makes it a bit more fiddly but not a problem.
