3.8 Rating 4 Reviews

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

“So disappointed with this product. My 2 old Shock Absorber bras from Debenhams were my absolute favourite for years. They fit well and most importantly for me, limited movement when I ran. So far I've tried the D+ support for the encapsulated cups - not enough support, I prefer the clips at the back for extra support/ less movement. Tried the ultimate run bra at my actual size from Sports Direct (against advisement from the Shock Absorber website) - band size was indeed too small but they didn't stock one band size up for the same cup size. This was cheaper but the money I saved, I paid back in delivery charges. Ordering the ultimate run bra directly from Shock Absorber, according to the advice, gave a good fit based on the tips on the website but absolutely no help with movement compared to a normal bra even with the clip at the back. The bra is about twice the price of other sports bras without the outdated and now probably untested 13 year old claim of reduction in movement. Fit = 100%, functionality = 0%. Have decided to get a professional fitting to save on further frustration and repeated delivery costs for unsatisfactory products.”

“I was in desperate need of a sports bra in order to train for a half marathon whilst also breastfeeding. After a huge amount of research, I found shock absorber and I've never looked back! Brilliant fit, feel secure and easy to remove if and when required. Great product, would highly recommend!”

“Not even close to an ‘extreme’ impact bra - this is barely even as supportive as those I’ve had previously which are sold as ‘medium’ support. It is cut lower than most other high impact bras I’ve tried, and doesn’t control bounce at all. I’m annoyed I’m now left with a sports bra which cost an absolute fortune and I can’t even utilise it on it’s on, I’m only comfortable working out in this if I wear a tight crop top over the top. I’ll stick with the D+ Max Support in the future.”

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave your product review of the Ultimate Run Bra. We are really sorry to hear that this Shock Absorber style was not suitable for you and the activities you intended to use the bra for. It can be tricky to adapt to a different style compared to what you are used to working out in. We are really pleased however to hear how much you love your Shock Absorber D+ Max Support Sports Bra. This is specifically designed for the D+ cup so there is no wonder you love the comfort and support this style offers you! If you would like any further suggestions or fitting advice, please get in touch with our team via live chat, e-mail or telephone, and we would be more than happy to help. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance via email: customercare@shockabsorber.co.uk. Thank you, Georgia and the Shock Absorber team
