Good fit

No chaffing. The phone pocket is awkward though

Great no-nonsense bra

I have larger breasts and a smaller ribcage, so I was a bit skeptical. But this is now my favorite bra for running. It's just a supportive compression-style sports bra that doesn't feel like a medical device or over-engineered. Very comfortable, and the phone pocket is secure. Like any sports bra without a clasp, getting it off after a run, when you're sweaty, is a challenge.

Love this bra!

As a solid B (pushing C) and pushing 50, let’s be real – nobody’s got time for bounce that ends in neck pain. Enter this bra: the hero we didn't know we needed. It’s got a solid hold, like it understands the assignment, but it’s not one of those suffocating contraptions either. Room to breathe? Check. No bounce? Double check.

Surprisingly good aupport

I bought a 1st bra, doubting that it would be enough support for a D cup, like all other compression bras (the only bra I found suitable so far were the Brooks front zip unlined bras). I was pleasantly surprised! I wouldn’t go as far as wearing those for a speed work or long threshold run, but for easy pace runs, any distance, they are perfect! I therefore bought a 2nd one.

Best sport bra…. Please restock!!

I have three of these and after trying every sport bra under the sun - these are my absolute favorite! My only complaint is that we need more colors and a restock asap please! I wear for both marathon running and CrossFit/Olympic Lifting and the fit is perfection.
