Brooks PR Elite Bra

Comfortable and cute, but not nearly supportive enough for anyone above a C cup. I'm a 34D and have been wearing this bra for several months. The band is tight enough, but the straps just aren't. The bra itself doesn't shift or bounce, but my breasts do, which is the problem. For high-impact exercise like running fast or 5Ks, I wouldn't wear this. I also jump on a trampoline daily and have the same issue: comfortable, but not enough support. I started out wearing it three to four times a week and now I'm down to maybe once every couple of weeks. I do like the color and style, and the cup coverage is okay. I had no discomfort or sizing issues. Other sports bras I own are definitely tighter and more supportive. Sizing down might help with this one, and adjustable straps would be a big improvement since not everyone's build is the same. I run 3-4 times a week casually and sometimes competitively with friends, and I'd reach for my other bras over this one every time.

The Brooks PR Elite Bra did not meet my expectations because it runs small. The fit was too tight and I felt too restrained, so I couldn't wear it at all. If you're considering this bra, remember to order one size up. I did not return it.

Comfortable and supportive sports bra with soft fabric, though it runs a little tight so I'd recommend sizing up if you're between sizes or a B cup and above. The support is solid for running, and the material feels great against my skin. I have eczema and experienced zero chafing or irritation, which is a big deal for me. One thing to note: the "Elite" label on the back came off after just a few washes. I did put it through the dryer rather than air drying, so that may have contributed. It didn't change the overall look or appeal, so it doesn't bother me much, but if keeping the branding intact matters to you, consider air drying. Otherwise the bra has held up perfectly fine through multiple washes. I'm an active runner, logging three to four runs a week at three to six miles each, so my sports bras get a lot of use. I don't have a very large chest, but I do need real support while running, and this bra delivered.
