Product Information

Full details

The Shock Absorber Ultimate Run Bra is designed specifically for female runners who require maximum stability and comfort during high-impact exercise. Its standout feature is the proprietary Infinity 8 support system, which reduces breast bounce by up to 78%, making it an ideal choice for marathon training or casual jogs. While the performance is elite, some users may find the heavy-duty construction and double back fastening system takes extra time to secure properly compared to standard sports bras.

FAQs

Can this bra be used for yoga or Pilates?

While technically possible, it is engineered for high-impact running and may feel overly restrictive or uncomfortable during the floor work and poses involved in yoga.

Does the bra contain wires?

No, the Shock Absorber Ultimate Run Bra utilizes structural fabric engineering and the Infinity 8 system to provide support without the need for uncomfortable underwires.

How should I measure my size for this bra?

We recommend a professional fitting, but generally, ensure the under-bust band is snug against the ribcage without restricting breathing.

Why is the fit tighter than my standard sports bra?

This is a high-impact compression bra. It is designed to be firm to minimize movement; it should feel secure but not painful.

Is the material machine washable?

Yes, but it is highly recommended to use a laundry wash bag to protect the hooks and the moulded cups from damage during the cycle.

How long will the support last?

Like all technical performance gear, the elastic will eventually lose its compression over time. It is recommended to replace the bra every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage frequency.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty fastening the double back closure

Try fastening the bra around your waist first, then rotate it to the front to fasten the clips before spinning it back around your torso.

Straps digging into shoulders

Ensure the back adjustment is providing enough tension to lift the bust; if the straps are carrying all the weight, the back band is likely too loose.

Fabric feels damp after long runs

Check that the bra is the correct size; if it is too small, the fabric cannot effectively wick moisture, leading to a build-up of sweat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional bounce reduction for high-impact activities
  • Moisture-wicking material keeps you comfortable in heat
  • Soft seamless interior prevents irritation and chafing
  • Padded straps provide long-wear comfort
  • High visibility features for early morning or evening runs

Cons

  • Double back closure can be slightly fiddly to fasten
  • Less 'everyday comfort' feel due to firm support structure
  • Not intended for low-impact activities like yoga

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a secure fit, use the double back fastening system: secure the inner band first, followed by the outer clasp. Because the bra uses technical polyester fabrics, follow these care instructions to maintain its elasticity and bounce-reduction properties:

  • Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag.
  • Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Avoid tumble drying or direct heat, as high temperatures will damage the shape of the moulded cups and the integrity of the elastic.
  • Storage: Store flat or hung, ensuring the cups are not crushed, which helps maintain the intended support shape.
