New Balance Women's Essentials Run Medium Sports Bra

Awesome bra , felt protected while running. No bouncing

Pros: once you have it on, this bra is incredibly supportive. The clasp lets you really lock in the band fit. I have a narrower rib cage and struggle with finding sports bras that are tight enough at band without being too small in the cups or suffocating (size 34 B-C for reference). This design solves that problem! Cons: the sewn in cups are a bit stiff and that stiffness extends around the front to the part under the armpits. This cut into the tendons just under my armpits just a little, but isn't a dealbreaker for me. Also this bra isn't quite as easy to get on/off as I'd expect for a bra with a clasp. I'm okay with it, but if you have shoulder mobility issues, you might want to proceed with caution. Overall this is a highly supportive bra without the over-designed look of most high support sports bras - well done NB!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was doubtful at first but when I try it on it felt very supportive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great bra!! It’s supportive but not compressive. Nothing digs in or rubs weirdly, it just fits really well. I tested it out on a pretty intense speed workout and it held up great - genuinely no complaints. It’s such a good workout staple.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a high support sports bra, compared to regular sport bras it is not as strechy. Fabric is thick but quality is good! I would say true to size, but maybe I could size up and then use the adjustable strap and bands to get it fitter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bra was super comfortable and stayed in place during my entire run. I have a slightly larger chest so most sports bras are not supportive enough for me but this was very supportive. The adjustable straps helped to ensure that the sports bra fit me correctly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this bra for running!! The material is so nice & felt great on sweaty skin. I like the support it gives without being suffocating. This would be great for any type of run for any distance in any weather. I would definitely recommend trying it out!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So comfortable for runs and for everyday wear - I enjoyed wearing this from everything from PT, under a sweater at work and at the gym
