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

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. Some of our styles - our Ultimate Run and Multi Support do size small in the band so we recommend to our customers to size up in the band to get the most support and comfort whilst exercising. Please let us know if we can offer you any further assistance via email: customercare@shockabsorber.co.uk, we would be more than happy to help. Thanks, Millie and the Shock Absorber team

“This my favourite bra for running. It gives really high support but is also comfortable and doesn’t dig in anywhere. You do need to find the correct size though, I have to size up in the band and down in my usual cup size to get the right fit.”

“I read the reviews and the recommendation and sized up on the band and reduced cup size. I confirm it does come up small on the band and amending the size ordered made sure that the bra fit perfectly. I love the little touch that shock absorber did in sending me a “check the fit” email with video after I received the bra.”

“This works. As a person who has had to double bra every time I work out. This bra is life changing. I’m usually a 36DD but that size was out of stock. I got the 34E. Bad choice as it is too small but I’ve worn it for 8 work outs now and it’s stretched a little around the back. I weight train and run on the treadmill 2/3 times a week. And the bounce is minimal, no black eyes or pain when I run. I’m so pleased. The only down side is how hard it is to fasten. It takes some getting use too. And a lot of FFS said out loud trying to fasten the clasp at the top, but I’m getting use to it. Would recommended to any woman with bigger boobs.”

Hi Ann, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your great product review on the Ultimate Run Bra. We are really pleased to hear that you have finally found a style where you do not need to double bra! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and we are sure you will get used to that top clasp - you could try doing the clasp up first and putting the bra on overhead! Enjoy your weight training and treadmill runs with your new level of support! Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance via email: customercare@shockabsorber.co.uk. Thank you, Georgia and the Shock Absorber team
