Bendon Sport Max Out High Impact Underwire Sports Bra 75-408
Fit was incredibly poor, so I am not keeping it.
I am training for a half-marathon and needed something more supportive than what I have been wearing. While I did receive compliments on how cute this bra is, it certainly doesn't fit right. It rubs in two places no matter how I adjust it. I still wear it because I can't afford not to, but have to double up with another sports bra. I will keep looking for the bra for me!
This bra offers great support during high impact sports and jogging. It is breathable and feels comfortable while working out, despite the fact that the band is a little bit too tight, and it flattens the bust.
It is very hard to find a 40B with excellent support..this is it! At 55, though the girls are not huge, they don't have the tone they did 20 years ago. Surprise! This keeps the girls up,perky, and most importantly BOUNCE FREE. I work out with my trainer 3 times/week, treadmill 5 times/ week and I hate flopping around. And the silicon straps are almost not noticeable, with no dig in. This is a winner for older gals. It is a challenge to get out of when I am dripping in sweat, but that is a very small price to pay for such support and comfort. If I were to wait to shower then that problem could be averted.
Love it!
I am not a big chested female - so when I saw this bra I was really excited and thought to be on the safe side I would order a bra that is actually bigger than I needed since some reveiws said it ran a little small - even with the bigger size it didn't fit - my husband had to help me pull it down to try it on AND to take it off - they do not make it easy to put it on and off - I was sadly shocked and disappointed that I spent the money and did not even get something that I can use - I guess I need to shrink even more just to get it to go on comfortably - wishing I found something better -
Bought it to jog in but it's a wrestling match to get it on.
VERY hard to get off. I feel like a gymnist when I try to remove this bra. Would NOT buy again. The only nice thing about it is that under a gym shirt it looks like a halter bra by the way the straps fall on my shoulder. DO NOT LIKE this bra however because of its difficulty getting off.....
The ends of the two underwires meet right on my sternum, and by the end of my 4-6 mile runs, the constant motion has rubbed my chest raw, leaving painful marks lasting for days. It provides good cup support, but because of the underwire, I can't wear it for high-impact workouts. I also have a small band size, and taking the bra on and off is difficult, but manageable. I have found other high-impact bras that serve their purpose better.
This bra does a good job keeping the girls comfortable and in place while doing aerobics, or jogging. I am a size 34D, and this bra did a good job for me. It kept them up, supported, and in place. It is also a nice-looking bra! The only con I'd say is that it's hard to get out of. You kind of have to do the wiggle dance to get out of it! But it's worth it, I think.
This is a great bra. It is snug, but that is what makes it great. Difficult to get on and off but it works...
This bra is VERY hard to get on. You have to kinda squeeze your girls into it. However, once it is on the support is great. Probably the best support I have gotten out of a bra. Having said that, I think next time I would have to sacrifice some of the support for a little more comfort.
This is the best bra I have ever worn for long distance running. I wear a 32 DD and I can never find good sports bras that are actually supportive. This one is amazing. BUY some before the company discontinues the model.
bought one coral and one white. Coral fit great, but band was a little big. White, cups too small and VERY difficult to get into and worse to get out of. Both were the same size. I kept the coral one and I love it!!
I have a hard time finding bras that support and fit. I am a 32DD and it is not an easy find. This bra fit well once you got it on. It was slightly difficult to get one, but extremely hard to get off. I had to push it up over my chest, bend over and try to pull it off over my head. It was not easy and could be chaffing if you had slightly dry skin. I also bought the Natori sports bra and love it.
At first I thought this bra was too small for me. It is hard to get in and out of, but worth the effort. Not the most comfortable bra I've ever worn, but probably the most supportive. I think that when I'm 5 lbs lighter it will feel more comfortable. I'm glad I tried to get into it a second time. I really love the support and shaping.
I play tennis and need a full support bra as I am a double d cup. I have worn this bra once, and it gave great support while keeping those puppies out of the way of play!
The size was much too large, cup and band, and I have always worn the size ordered, 38B. Going by this bra, I would probably fit in a 36 trainer.
Used for golfing and shape looked great under thin golf shirt. Felt very comfortable and was not self-concious when swinging.
My sister told me that she ordered a sport bra and loved how it fit under t-shirts and I have to agree. This one was such a good fit and was so comfortable that I hardly knew I was wearing one.
It's a great product.
My days begin first thing pounding the pavement for my morning jog. I then train clients at the gym for most of the day finishing my day teaching a group fitness class. Needless to say.. I need a sports bra that not only feels good and supports well..but also flatters and looks good. I hate the typical sports bra "uni-breast" and Bendon has done away with that for me FOREVER. I will never go back to the average sports bra..these may cost a bit more but they are worth EVERY PENNY!
I had been looking for a sports bra that went away from the "Uni" breast look. This bra not only looks fashionable but is really comfortable for the gym or just everyday support.
I used the bra in a triathlon and it worked out well.
I wanted this bra to work and it would have if I didn't have to almost dislocate my shoulder to get it off. Wow it was crazy.
I wear it to work out in (treadmill, volleyball, jogging, weight lifting) all the time. It's a little tough to get on, but it's worth the effort. Wicks well and dries quickly!
I am a runner and on the last race I competed in I had really bad brusing from my chest moving so much, I was wearing 3 regular sports bra's. I needed something that would support my DD's, this is definatlty the last sports bra I will ever buy. My chest did not move! It is well worth the money.
Provides good support. Has alleviated neck pain
I saw on TV and could not believe how fabulous this sport bra turned out! It was a bit of a challenge to get on but worth it!!! Not only does it hold my large chest but is stylish to boot. I will be ordering a second one soon! Thank you for carrying the great colors. It such a nice touch!!
I had my best run ever wearing the bra for the first time. It will be with me alot!
Excellent support and looks great!!!
I am a nursing mom and I wanted to start a workout routine that involved running. Unfortunately with my bigger cup size currently, my old sports bras were not cutting it. This sports bra is amazing. I read about it in a magazine and could not be happier. it is so supportive and comfortable and even looks good! The one thing that is a bit difficult, is latching the back of it by yourself, but other than that, it's perfect. A must have for any woman who needs a bit more support! It's worth the money.
This bra is very flattering and works well for medium impact activities. I'm a size 34C and I was still definately "bouncing" when jogging. Also, it is difficult to get on and off. I probably wouldn't buy it again since I should be able to jog in a bra for that price.
great support for exercise
I am a 38DD. My breasts spilled out of the cups and the bra was not supportive at all. My everyday bra offered more support. This bra should be marketed toward women with small busts that don't need a lot of support. I am very dissappointed.
I love how it fits and feels once it's on but I feel like a contortionist getting it on and taking it off. Hopefully it will get easier with time but it is EXTREMELY time consuming getting ready to work out. I love the racer back and the support the bra gives. It's the best sports bra I have ever purchased and because I wear a large size (34DD) the first that is really supportive without flattening my breasts out.
All bras of this type are hard to remove, this one isn't too bad. Cup size way small for 40D Bali so I have above the bra overflow and jiggle. Am dieting and hope tp grow down to it!!
I would like to thank Bendon Sport for making a sports bra that makes my D cups feel so wonderful!! I can now run with all the support I need in a sports bra that is super sexy too. Caution: This bra is a pain getting on and off though!! Especialy after a really sweaty work out or if you are trying to put it on right out of the shower. This bra is a pull-over racer back with an adjustable band. It is also a bit tight so make sure you don't buy it on the small side. Once you get it on though it is the most comfortable bra, especially for those of us who are well endowed.
I am very happy that I finally found a great bra to wear during my workouts. It is great for walking/running. Thanks...Fresh Pair!!!
Only the Oprah and other raves made me try an underwire again and after a few hours they were hurting and chaffing. The comments saying use this for high impact must not be DDD+ cup size folks! I'd rather buy the cheaper sports bras that don't look as good, aren't as fitted but don't outright hurt to wear just walking around, much less high impact!
For a 36DD any bra is a challenge! I like the overall construction of the bra and it truly is more comfortable than most. I like that it doesn't create the "uni-breast" yet still offers good support. The fit/sizing was a bit of a challenge on the 1st go round - I used the on-line instructions to determine the size and what I measured out to be ended up being a size too small.
It's not the easiest bra to put on but after it is on, very comfortable with loads of support, pushes up and together and nothing bounces.
I know what size I am. I could not even get my breasts in the cup. I barely got it on over my shoulders. This bra is NOT for large breasted women with small frames.
I work out 6-7 days a week and participate in "high impact" aerobic classes and was looking for a bra that was comfortable and provided good support. This bra was comfortable and provided great support during my work out.
much too difficult to put on and off...it ruins the whole experience.
the bra itself is wonderful in every other respect..
TOO Small for the size marked
This bra is much smaller than the true size. Also, I thought it has a back that clasps. It does but it is actually a racerback with s small clasp below. It is extremely difficult to get into and by the time you get it on you have seriously stretched it. I returned this item.
It looks like it's a terrfic sports bra but it's very difficult to get it over the shoulders. Band is very awkward.
I had shoulder surgery and have a little difficulty getting it off. Would love the same support in one that just hooks.
I use this bra to work out I have pretty big breasts and it holds me in very well even when jogging..The only thing I don't like is it is hard to get off.
great support for a 32D. looks good. but it feels rigid, stiff, not particularly comfortable. before i started my run, i kept pulling at it because it felt binding. but forgot about it once i started my run. so, it does its job. tough to find a comfy/good looking/well fitting sports bra for a D cup!
