"Bought two Ultimate Run Sports Bras almost 6 years ago. I've used one or the other 5 times a week while swimming open water, Cycling and running.  Worn them while doing numerous triathlon races, so I'm one happy customer, would recommend. I've just bought Ultimate Run Bra already done 5 runs and they are just as comfy as my original ones, I will be ordering another so I've always got one washed and ready to go." ~ Juliet D. 

Why runners love it:

  • Infinity-8 Support System – a clever combo of compression + encapsulation to stop that dreaded figure-of-eight boob jiggle.

  • Friction-free comfort – soft, seamless inner fabric means no rubbing, chafing, or mid-run swearing.

  • Straps that stay put – wide, padded, non-slip, and fully adjustable for the perfect fit.

"The Ultimate Run sports bra gives very good support when horse riding. The versatility of normal straps and racer back means all day comfort." ~ Jessica C.

  • High-vis details – reflective tape across the cups to keep you seen on early morning or late night runs.

  • Easy on, easy off – full back opening with double fastening makes wriggling in and out a breeze.

  • Sweat-smart fabric – moisture-wicking, breathable performance fabric keeps you cool, dry, and focused on your PB.

  • Support Factor Rating: Extreme

  • Colour: Black/Silver

  • Branding: Collab with Champion so most of the bras have both Champion & Shock Absorber branding

"I have always found Shock Absorber bras the best for running and have used them since I started running 25 years ago. Fantastic support and comfort which is why I always buy Shock Absorber." Rhona W

The science bit (aka why this bra actually works):

Three-layer support structure:

  • One-piece front panel compresses both boobs together.
  • Middle simplex fabric encapsulates each breast separately.
  • Outer cut-and-sewn design compresses again for maximum stability.

Independent testing shows up to 78% bounce reduction for the Shock Absorber Ultimate Run which is a higher stated reduction than Berlei’s Ultimate Performance/High Performance styles (often listed as up to 60%).

Double back fastening positioned ergonomically to anchor the cups and keep breasts firmly in place.

"Still the absolute best run bra. Have tried so many others over the last 15 years, but nothing else comes close to the level of support and comfort, with very little stretch, well positioned seams, and therefore no unwanted movement, or under-arm / under-band chafing and they last well.  The Shock Absorber ultimate run bra is still the best running bra on the market. Have run marathon and half marathons in this bra. No other bra will do the job!" ~ Leonora W.

Alisa's Fitting Tips Here’s what to know before you order:

  1. Go up in the band if you’re between sizes: This style can come up small. I find it best to try a band size up from your normal size. This means if you normally wear a 34D, I recommend trying a 36D.

  2. At the back of the bra there's an additional strap at the top for extra support, and the adjustable straps mean you can tailor the support level to your preference. However, I found the clasps hard to do up by myself. Doing up the top clasp first and then putting it on over my head worked best for me.

  3. Proven to reduce bounce by up to 78%: the Ultimate Run sports bra has been independently tested by the University of Portsmouth

  4. No padding: it doesn't feature additional padding over the cups, making it less bulky. It is doubled lined, though, and the inner material is stretchy and seamless which helps to reduce rubbing, making it very comfortable to wear.

  5. The band is elasticated with a traditional bra strap fastening and the straps are padded. I really like the addition of padding to the straps as it means they stay in place well and don't dig in.
