I went in store to be measured for a sports bra originally with an underwired one in mind. The fitter said that for high impact sports an unwired one would actually be better which I was a bit sceptical about. I am usually a 32G in Bravissimo but found this size to be too tight in the back. I went up a back size and down a cup to a 34FF. I wore the bra for the first time to an exercise class last night and felt very comfortable and supported in it. I also liked the fact that at the back there was two fastenings, a normal one and one higher up so it turned in to a racer back. I felt that this held me in and gave me extra support. Overall very pleased with my purchase.

I normally take a 36GGin Bravissimo styles and 36G in Fantasie. Having read the other reviews, I ordered the grey in 38GG. PERFECT FIT! This bra gives good support without the "monoboob" effect so many other sports bras achieve. If you insist on a more "upfront" look, this won't be the bra for you though. It tends to spread my boobs a bit more to the sides than an underwired bra. But there is no wire to dig into my ribs and also no wide band to roll up underneath. And it was not difficult to get on and off, even for an old lady in her late 60's. I can actually see myself wearing this under a dark top in cooler weather. Will probably get another one sooner rather than later.

I was a bit apprehensive buying this bra online, as this is a new style and it looks slightly different in the picture to my usual Max Sports Bra by Shock Absorber. I was relieved to find that this bra was every bit as supportive as the Max Sports. It's very supportive and comfortable for both active sports (I run and rock-climb in it) and going about your daily business. Also, the Shock Absorber logo being on the side rather than right in the middle makes it easier to wear under your normal clothing, I think.
