Please see my review of the 32F in the black color way here: http://bra.pe/X0lQ/

This bra has the same problems I mentioned on the other review, mainly I had a problem with the straps not adjusting long enough. This one adjusts long enough but just barely. I’m not sure it would be comfortable during exercise since I ended up returning it. This colorway cut in a bit less at the top (compared to the black color), so no quad boob really. All the bras have very wonky fits, I only recommend ordering online if returns are available.

My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.

Another Shock Absorber bra, another wonky fit. On this size, the band feels okay, I can wear it on the second set of hooks. However, I do notice the elastic rolls up quite a bit (it even rolled a bit in the photos) and that can be uncomfortable doing exercise. The straps adjust long enough (but just barely!) and are on the loosest setting.

The cup fit is definitely better than the 32E and 34DD bras I tried. I’m inclined to say that after all these size try-ons, that this bra ... runs about a cup size too small and a band size too small in my my range. Disappointing to see that there isn’t much consistency and I can see how ordering online is quite a challenge.

The cup is still bordering on too small and there is some quad boob (hard to see in the photos) albeit much less than the cup size down.

This bra definitely doesn’t not pass the bounce test for running/jumping. There’s simply too much movement going on for me to be comfortable. I would say this is a more of a medium support. The fabric is stiffer and has little stretch so it’s supposed to compress your breasts to not move. Maybe smaller sizes might benefit from trying this bra on.

Panache Sport Non-wired bra is my first choice for winter. However, just thinking about wearing Panache Sport when temperatures are above 80 degrees F makes me nauseous. And, I've learned the racerback fastener pulls the top of the cups into a tendon. Sizing down reduces the tendon bite, but reduces the amount of time I can comfortably wear the bra. Now, I'm experiencing more comfort in non-racerback sports bras. N102 is not a racerback and provides an incredible amount of holding power with a few pieces of fabric. N109 is fuller coverage and a better selection for taller roots than N 102.

Lightweight, power lifter this Shock Absorber is. ... Wow! This 32F pulls to one side, because I need a bit more projection. And, quadding shows in both cups. If available one size larger (32G UK), I would have a very comfortable, supportive, summer exercise bra.

The band is delightfully supportive, the straps well-padded, and the fastener protection pad/gel excellent. Note: straps are perfect for petite and or high-set users. However, taller users will be terribly disappointed. Also, the apex is located lower in the cup than N109; making this a good option for short roots. NOTE: N102 runs one size smaller than N109.

Like several other Shock Absorber models, the seams are thoughtfully positioned and the fabric does not chafe.

These are excellent sports bras for hot, humid climates. And, the support is better than Panache Sport Non-wire.
