Although Shock Absorber bands run small, Syrokan bands are true to size (of the two models I've tried). Syrokan's smallest band is 32. This bra looks similar to Shock Absorber 4490, but I receive significantly less support in the Syrokan because the band is true to size. Unfortunately, I need a 30" band on my 28" underbust and Syrokan is available in 32"+ bands.

The cup easily accommodated my projected breasts. I felt gently supported, but aware that the band was a little too big and a portion of breast escaped through the top. If a Shock Absorber hadn't arrived the same day, I may have kept the ... $20 Syrokan.

I'd happily wear this bra for yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, .... If you have a larger underbust, you may find this appropriate for jogging, but it didn't provide enough support for me to even try Kinect Sports Track and Field. I swapped Syrokan for Panache Sport Wireless before Kinect-ing.

Because the band provides most of the support, I need a smaller band and a slightly taller cup for proper support.
