Holds everything in place and is really comfortable, didn't think I'd get on without wires but this bra has completely changed my mind.

I sized up the band as recommended, which made everything too big. The band was already at the tightest setting to even attempt to make it work. The straps were too long and had minimal ability to adjust (this is a theme I see in sports bras).. Ultimately no way this would work for high impact for a large chest. Back to the drawing board: I may end up looking for old style compression bras and wearing multiple.

I really liked the look of this bra and then I tried getting it on. Bit of a faff with the 2 sets of hooks and I could only get it fastened up by having it facing the wrong way and then turning it round and wriggling into the straps. Thank goodness I took other buyers' advice about going up a back size as I don't think I would have got it on at all. Didn’t really like the shape it gave my bust but it is very supportive once you've winched yourself in, however after a while the underband started to roll up, not very comfortable. Getting it off? Don't get me started!!

Great fit, always use this style, secure and reasonably flattering! Will continue to buy

The written advice from Bravissimo is that the back sizing comes up small so to go a back size up but keep the cup size the same. This didn’t work for me as the whole bra came out too big. Bravissimo were really good at dealing with my return and crediting my account so no complaints there.

I've been wearing Shock Absorbers for years. I always go up one back and down one cup size. Fits perfectly, very comfortable and no bounce when running.

I brought this for my daughter as she plays rugby it's very comfortable and she feels very supported.

Not many bras feel this safe and snug.
