    32F

    Didn't fit

    This is the only bra I can run in; it keeps things completely locked down. It is a standard compression-style sport bra, but because the band is so firm (almost uncomfortably so) and the compression is so strong, there is no bounce. (It also makes me look much, much flatter.) I can't wear this for long, and I wouldn't call it comfy, but it allows me to run which is something I simply did not have the ability to do before.

    There are two sets of clasps in the back (with two hooks each), but I can only reach the lower one behind my back without help. But I usually just go with that one undone; it's secure enough with just the one fastened.

    32FF

    Fits

    All thanks to @kelsiem I can make this review.

    This model just runs shallow in the top. In fact, I'm uncertain this model would work for those with tall roots. And, it is shallow in the center. This shallowness helps create separation without a wire, but it pushes center-full, close-set, soft tissue toward the sides. Consequently, my breasts and lymph nodes collide into the side seam along the top of the cup. My short -waisted physique dilemma: compressed breasts/quadding or encapsulated breasts/screaming lymph nodes. Pick one. This dilemma repeats itself often. It is most apparent, however, in sports bras. Sigh.

    Still, this is a sturdy, work horse of a bra which will provide years of superb support.

    30DD

    Fits

    Tight! I was looking for a sports bra in a 26 band and this is right between a 26 & a 28! The band only stretches to 27". While the white is opaque, my nipples do show through sometimes.
    This thing is comfortable. So comfortable I want one just for when my breasts are swollen and obscenely sensitive. I fell asleep after working out and still wanted it on when I woke up.
    The wings are high enough to secure me, but low enough to stay clear of my armpit swamps. I can get away with a few wears before washing it.
    Little of the strap is adjustable, meaning that ... the straps are a bit long for me (I'm high set)
    Despite the straps I can forget I have breasts with this on. They move very slightly when jumping or moving suddenly, but I don't feel them and forgot about them while running. Compared to being constantly annoyed and trying to hold my breasts down (in a bra) before, this sports bra is an absolute treasure! I'm ordering more in the white and dark grey colourways while they're still $25> on Amazon, because one of these is not enough. I'm really hoping the dark gray fits the same.

    Lastly! I saw it mentioned that the older B4490 is thinner and stretchier than the newer S4490. I got a B and, well, you read the review. Maybe I got lucky, or maybe it isn't an issue for 30DD but it for other sizes, or just certain batches? I don't know.
    The mesh fabric and seams do show through on mine much more than the stock photos, but the texture didn't show through my shirt.

  5. Edited review because I realized it was a 32F that I received not a 32FF as indicated by seller.
    This is my second Shock Absorber and it is preloved. My first is a 30FF but the volume was too small and the band is really tight. I received this 32F, which is now a bit too loose in the band, but still very wearable. I like bands to fit around 29 inches, and this one goes to about 30.5" measured to the last set of lower hooks. I will be searching for this bra in 30G as I think the right band does provide better stabilization for jumping around. I normally wear 30F unlined and 30FF lined.

    Hasn't set fit

    These bras are great! The band definitely runs about a size small. I've had numerous models over the years, and love them for yoga, dance, and aerobics, where I would rather not be wearing an underwire but need serious compression.

    36G

    Fits

    Although btb says this fits me, I think it's too large in the cups. I fill them out but when I jump up and down wearing it I bounce. I've read that Shock Absorbers work mainly by compression so I obviously need more than this is giving me. I'll probably try a 36FF. I think 36F will be too small.

    This bra has 2 sets of hooks which contributes to the very supportive feel of it. I can't fasten or unfasten the top set while wearing the bra but if I fasten just the top set set and put it on over my head I can ... then adjust and fasten the bottom hooks.

    The cups have an inner support sling that goes all around the cup leaving mainly just the nipple area exposed, at least in this size. I think the sling is narrower in smaller cups. My tissue is soft so probably the smaller size will look more lumpy than this does. The sling provides some encapsulation and lift so it seems like a pretty good sports bra in the correct size. If I see one in 36FF at a good price I'm going to snap it up like I did this one.

    28G

    Didn't fit

    I don't like how this fits on me, It kind of smooshes my boobs down - I like the uplift of panache sport and so far haven't really liked any other sports bra. I'm trying to bodybuild and I find this pushes my lat out (makes my underarms look fat) as my lats are quite pronounced (I WORK HARD FOR THEM! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" /> )

    This is probably a better bra for cardio or yoga or something. Not for weight lifting IMO

    40HH

    Didn't fit

    I tried this in my usual UK size of 40HH.

    Fit: The band stretched to 43 inches, and I would have liked a firmer band in a sports bra. I could have fastened it on the tightest hook. However, there is no sister size to the 40HH. The cups were either too small at the apex or an awkward fit, I'm not sure. I generally collapsed over the band and had cleavage at the top so if I sized up I figured I would get less support (and they don’t make it in that size) and if I sized down I was going to pop ... out the top. I could not fasten the top hooks however, because my arms don't reach there, so that defeated the purpose of the bra entirely as I don't want to ask women in the gym locker to fasten my bra for me. Where are all the front close sports bras in my size?

    Comfort: It was ok. I wasn't a fan of the exposed inner seaming pressing on my tissue. The fabrics were soft and thick, but not as smooth as other bras. The band was comfortable. Probably too comfortable.

    Style: I loved the colors, the pattern was not my style, but the colors were lovely! I would have been happy wearing as a top it with my high waist leggings if it had fit.

    • The band length surprises me! That is long when on the on the other end of the size spectrum, the band is short...too short. Interesting observing the differences in the range.

      And, that upper fastener, for me, is critical for support. In fact, I can happily wear my Shock Absorber Active Multi with the band hook unfastened. That really surprised me!

      The upper hook is in a very awkward position!!

      Sorry this didn't work!

      Yeah that was probably the problem. I might look for a cheap one on Amazon and wear it when my husband can help me fasten it.

      However, fastening the upper hook may cause you to "pop out the top". Cheap would be good just in case it catapults your tissue out of the cup. ;-) ;-)
