I love the support and shape this bra gives. It's my favorite sports bra of all I've tried because it's so flattering and supportive.-I can do push ups without worrying that I'm hanging out in front - due to the style of the straps.-The combination of the diagonal seam across the cups and the pads inside the cups keep me stable and I've had two kids so this is a big issue for me!-It does not loose it's shape or stop supporting, even when soaking wet with sweat from a hard, high impact workout.-I also do some grappling wearing this bra and I do not have to worry about anything embarrassing showing - ever!!-The adjust-ability in back is awesome.

I've used the Shock Absorber B5044 Womens Run Bra for a while now and it's great for support and comfort. I decided to go for this version for something more flattering, especially with the padding to cover any, ahem, pronounced 'bumps' when cold and avoid any unnecessary embarrassment!I am small chested (usually a B cup but I prefer to get an A cup in my usual back size in Shock Absorbers) but for me this is a very comfortable bra that keeps me well supported with virtually no movement at all. The fabric is very soft. Unless you have flexibility problems (i.e. if you need to put a standard bra on back to front to fasten it etc.) then you'll have no problems putting this bra on. Put it over your head,

Firstly this isn't recommended for high-impact sports like running for larger busted women. As someone which a smaller bust, I picked this as a running bra for the same reason as most - I wanted something that would retain shape whilst providing support.I found it provided a good amount of support, although I can imagine a different, non-paddded bra might be more supportive.I had no problems with taking the bra on or off although I can see how it might be problematic for people with limited flexibility in their arms; however the majority of people needn't worry about this. The sizing I found perfect, I picked the same size I wear for regular bras and it had a good,

If I were better at connecting the backstrap I would give it a 5. The look and support are amazing and hold up to my high intensity plyo/cardio moves very well. Based on other reviews I did buy up a band size, which seems to be OK because I wear a heart rate monitor strap underneath, so it gives a bit of extra room. If I didn't wear it though, regular size would probably be OK, as getting it over my head is not the problem, as it is for some others.This is now the only brand sport bra I will buy and am about to order more. My only issue is that you have to connect the strap after you pull it over your head. And I have never been able to connect my bras in the back without starting in the front and turning it around.

I got my first Pump bra 5 years ago and immediately bought 2 more as I run quite regularly and this bra felt the most comfortable. After a few years of rehab (damaged my knee) I am back to running and needed a new sports bra. I tried a few of the newer designs in the shop but then found that Shock Absorber is still making the Pump design and opted to get this instead. It's comfortable - the straps are wide and don't dig in. And the light padding means that I don't feel self-conscious about nipples showing through my clothes as some of them can be quite sheer.I am not sure how well this would work for someone with larger breasts - I am a 34B so don't need a great deal of support,

i read a few reviews saying they bought their actuall bra size and the product was too small. i decided to up a size, and purchase a 34c instead of 32, and i am very happy that i did so; the band fits snuggly and isnt too tight or too loose; the cup size is just a little too big, but i am that pleased i have purchased another but in a 34B for a more snug fit. i have ran in this bra several times, and barely notice that i even have boobs! it gives excellent support to my bust which isnt too big in the first place, but it makes for a comfortable run, without the usual chafing from cheaper materials and remains moderatly dry when i run in high temperatures.

I bought this to wear when running. My main problem with wearing a regular bra wasn't the support (I don't have the largest bust in the world) It was that the straps were Constantly slipping off my shoulders, meaning having to hitch them back up again every few seconds. Not ideal! After reading lots of reviews of other types I settled on this one and am so glad I did. My strap problem is now nonexistant and it is so supportive. I swear I didn't know what support was until I wore this! By the end I'd kind of forgotten I had boobs they were supported so well! It fits perfectly, some people are saying it's too hard to put on and take off, but it's really not that bad, and if it were easy it wouldn't be able to do its job!

I love this sports bra! I bought several of theme as this was the only bra on the market that does not make my chest completely flat. All others that I have tried did. It provides great support with a nice cleavage.Yes, there is a down side to it. Its a bit tricky getting in and out of it as the hook and eye opening at the back does not give much way, especially once damp after the workout. The benefit of this bra being padded still out ways this negative point for me. I would highly recommend this bra for ladies with smaller cup sizes that don't want to look completely flat up top while exercising :-)Only giving it 4 stars due to the difficulty of putting the bra on/off.

Crikey - it actually works!!! Can't get over the difference between this sports bra and my previous one, which just squashed my chest completely flat but somehow I still bounced around in when running or even walking. No bounce at all in this one and it's far more comfortable (even lying on my back doing floor exercises - the hooks don't dig in at all). Ordered my usual size and it fits perfectly. Yes it's a bit difficult to do up the hooks at the back when putting it on so I just cheat and do it up first before putting it on! This bra has achieved the impossible and actually got me out running again, which was way too uncomfortable before - fabulous!

It is a good high impact sport bra. Well made and good material also. The material is not that thin so no nipples are shown, excellent for us girls!!! I love the band for more support and the padded pumps are removable. I usually wear 34B bra and this is somehow smaller but not enough to make you uncomfortable or unbreathable so I removed the pads to feel it larger (even without padds nipples are not shown) The design is kind of sexy. It is a little complicated to wear it on and off, if you are not flexible choose another bra better. I have been worn it during all day and it is great. Next time I will probably buy another one but one size larger.

After reading other reviews I was a bit concerned about how I'd get this bra on and off, but it was what I wanted for my Zumba classes so I took a chance. I'm very pleased with the bra, to begin with it can be difficult to get on and off but once I realised it had a fastener at the back that helped a lot. With regular wear it also stretches a bit but not in the wrong places. The bra does what is is supposed to and everything stays in place despite lots of shaking and jumping during my classes. It washes well and has removable pads which are easy to remove and replace once I realised how. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I bought this padded sports bra as i am quite small chested and didn't want to be totally flat when doing Zumba or jogging. Well I am extremely happy with my nicely padded chest!The bra is easy to get on and I can reach round easily to do the clasps at the back. Due to the padding it is quite hot and gets pretty sweaty around the bust area but that is the price to pay for the padding.My only negative is that the straps could do with being a cm or two longer and as they aren't adjustable there is nothing you can do about it. I am quite small framed as well.

I was worried about sizing because of other peoples comments but I'm a 34DD bra size and I ordered a 34D shock absorber as they don't do a DD and it fits lovely - not too tight or anything. I bought this to replace a shock absorber which I have had for ages in a style now dis-continued - it was very similar in style to this one but had the side clip fasteners. This is almost the exact same shock absorber just with a rear clasp instead. The rear clasp has 3 adjustments. Would recommend to others and I am seriously thinking about purchasing another.

Comfortable and suppprtive, as promised. I have avoided sports bras for years because I found them very unflattering and embarrassing, but this is perfect and combines support with a good profile. I wear it for martial arts, including contact sparring, and can be training for hours without needing re-adjusting. Also it's padded enough not to need extra support, and I don't need to feel self-conscious or embarrassed when training with men. I'd recommend for anyone doing a high impact sport or anything that involves running or jumping.

I excercise a lot, so I now own 3 of these bras - 2 are the older version, where the design is slightly different (they used to fasten with a hook each side rather than one at the back). I think this new version is much improved - the material is softer and more stretchy, and I find it much easier to take on and off with the back fastener, rather than straining my neck trying to fasten each side.In short it gives great support, but still gives a good shape if you are a smaller cup size. I am just about to purchase another one...!
