Help with Shock Absorber run bra sizing!

So... I think I need a sports bra that doesn´t show under my racer back tops. I can also tolerate straps showing a little if they do not have strap adjusting plastic clips there, like the Shock Absorber multi sports does...
I do own Panache sports, but the straps are too short to comfortably hook it as a racer back :(

I´m kind of thinking about Shock absorber run bra (it seems it can work here better for me than the multi sports) but I´m confused about the sizing. My Shock Absorber multi sports bra size is 30FF. 30F is too small in the cups. The reviews I´ve read are contradictory and I don´t have enough measurement information in Bratabase. From what I´ve read the run bra and multi sports do NOT have matching sizes. So what would be my size in the run bra?

Also suggestions of other suitable sports bras would be helpful!
Please, help!

  • I've heard people say great things about Lynx Sportswear and Enell. Problem is that they both have particular sizing, so you have to go by measurements. Both are very high coverage though, so they might show through some tops necklines.

    From what I've read, Shock Absorber bras run very small in both band and cup compared to your expected Freya, Panache sizes.

    And another tip, you can read brand wide reviews by clicking on "Reviews" on the brand page:

    That may help to get a wider overview.. but requires reading and time.
