SYROKAN Women's Full Support High Impact Racerback Lightly Lined Underwire Sports Bra

I'm 45, overweight, and I've breastfed five children, I don't have the jackpot genetics for super elastic skin and ligaments to memory rebound my stuff to the original factory settings. My girls show their service, and I'm thankful for all they have done and continue to do for me...I have no need to shame them for not looking like the breasts of a 25 year old fitness model, but I will certainly take all the pretty I can manage to find while getting a basic, real-life job done. I'm not doing high impact anything, I simply needed a bra that keeps the girls close to the body to free my range of motion, improve center of gravity somewhat, and provide modesty while bending sideways, backwards and maybe even hanging upside down. The conventional bra found at local retail chains are not working for me on any of those requirements. The usual complaints I have for both conventional and sports bras at my size 36 band F cup: The necessary width/length of the wires for each cup means the distal, scimitar-like points of those wires are going to be in my armpits all day...while I am trying to keep my arm muscles moving, resulting in my stabbing my self in the sensitive underarm area throughout my workout. If I get a smaller cup size, it often will move the wire end more midline, away from the armpit, but then it doesn't fit over the breast tissue properly, the tissue gets pinched and the bra will also ride up and chafe all day long. Most bra manufacturers try to make bras look prettier by shaping the tops of the cups to be low, which looks great if I am standing upright and still...but if I need to bend over or flex sideways, all my stuff rolls around and falls out the top, not the kind of attention I want. From the other end of the bra spectrum, with crop-top style sports bras, my complaint is that they offer NO lift or separation, giving me a smooshed uni-boob silhouette and, because I am pendulous, excessive under breast heat generation producing embarrassing tell-tale dampness on my t-shirts. An F cup boob has some weight to it, that's downward pressure on the arm strap, a skinny strap on my bra is like a cable saw cutting into the top of my shoulder, I need sufficient width for better distribution of weight. Bra strap attachment point also needs to be carefully engineered. It might look sexier to have the strap attach to the most distal point of the cup top possible, but when made that way, I find I lose too much central support and the strap is more likely to slip down my shoulder all day long- I prefer racer-back styling for that reason. Another issue for me is strap length adjustability- the girls are tired and need to hang a bit lower than they did in my youth, but the point of attachment/origin is still rather high, I think a bit higher than the average woman with this band size and torso length, call me a freak if you will, the point is I need a shorter strap to snug in and I often have difficulty finding a bra with straps adjustable enough with sufficient resistance to stretching and good hardware that is comfortable to wear and able to hold that chosen strap length set all day. So with all these complaints/problems/needs, finding a bra, any type /purpose bra, I like is very difficult. I tried this style last week based on the aesthetic appeal, the presence of a wire and racer back, the positive customer reviews and the cost. I reviewed the size chart and vacillated between the 36F and 36G but opted for smaller thinking about wire pokiness and other traumas from past experiences. The price was in my opinion very reasonable, enough incentive to give it a try anyway. So what's the verdict? I tried the first one and right away liked the aesthetics- the colors are pretty, it is genuinely flattering. The sizing was spot on with complete coverage so there's no bulging or spilling over. The wire was well shaped, it seems to be kept low enough at the distal ends that I cant even tell there is a wire in there while I am wearing it. The bra does lift and separate incredibly well, the silhouette is amazingly good for a sports bra, and better than like 85% of the really expensive specialty bras for office and evening wear I've had. The fabric is thick and strong, it holds stuff in, it doesn't give with body heat so I get support all day long. I wore the bra to the gym twice and was shocked by how differently I could move the free weights with my stuff tucked into a more optimal anatomical position... and I felt cooler, my t-shirt wasn't soaked under the boobs. I loved how it made me feel so much I wore it to work a couple times; I'm a hospital dialysis nurse, I work on both human and facility plumbing simultaneously all day- I've got hoses attached to delicate human bodies. multiple machines, and badly positioned water faucets. There's a lot of crawling around awkward spaces running blood lines and water hoses & drains around beds, poles, ventilators and every other piece of medical equipment known to man so I have to implement some contortionist-like flexibility to get shit set up and running in the five square feet of space I've got to work with. In addition to my adjustable wrench and Teflon tape, this bra is now something I will never go to work without again. All my bits and pieces are kept close, out of the way & covered. My scrub tops are dry, the bra straps stay put, the bra never rides up, and the fabric is comfortable and cool through a 10-14 hour day. The bonus feature, it actually makes me look good, it improves my posture and profile in my normal scrubs. My husband commented on how pretty this bra is and immediately/happily offered to buy me more of them...so I am 100% convinced, this was a great find, worth ordering again. My other sports bras went in the trash. I ordered this navy one to add to the red I had and I intend to order more...hoping the green one will become available in my size. I am very pleased with the way this style met my needs and fitting challenges. I think the quality of the construction is excellent, especially for the price point. I would recommend it to anyone with similar preferences.

This is a great sports bra for high-impact workouts; however, if you have any upper body mobility issues it might be really difficult to get on and off.I was looking to replace my very old panache sports bra that no longer fit due to weight gain. I'm rebounding on a personal trampoline as part of my workout and needed something high-impact and this really does fit the bill. I'm hoping to lose weight and need to replace it soon, so I didn't want to spend a ton of money. This is my new favorite for rebounding.The only issue is the back doesn't open up completely. So you have to pull it on over your head and then reach behind you to connect the loop/hook. I have some shoulder issues and extra weight that make getting it on difficult and annoying. Getting it off is EXTREMELY difficult. I hear fiber snapping as I do and have almost gotten stuck a couple of times.I bought this in Brick and love the colors. I kept it on for a while after my workout and at first it was super comfortable. The longer the day went on the more irritated I got. I have some sensory issues with bras anyway, so eventually it felt scratchy. Could be because it's new, or just my own issues, lol. I Will look for more from this brand that do open all the way in the back.

The price was great for the quality of this bra. The size was spot on… perfect. The color was as shown, very nice. The bounce was negligible, so great for HIIT. The fit was great, once I put it on and that’s the problem. It’s hellish to put on. It’s stiff-ish since it is a sports bra so it should either have 2 clasps on the back or have it clasp in the front. Having to put this on like a shirt is a struggle!!! The other thing for me in particular is that the back cuts me right on my back fat (and I’m thin gal) so I end up with an unattractive back bulge. It would be nice if the back band went just a tad higher to hold that in.

The design and construction of the bra is really beautiful…I haven’t gotten to use it under higher intensity than walking but very comfortable! I had very little problem reaching the eyelet closure but it wouldn’t be possible for everyone.Th cups are lightly lined and give you the appearance of two individual cups versus one big one; closest feel to an every day bra with the support that I have ever tried!The color was as pictured…however, I did receive a used product. I know this for several reasons. 1) it smelled significantly of detergent/fabric softener 2) disclosure, I had previously ordered this bra ( and another of a different color) but needed to return them for alternate sizing and there was NO smell to either 3) both previous bras had product tags.With that said, I inspected the bra and chose not to return it. I chose to give the seller the benefit of the doubt but there are other consumer reviews advising of the same thing so keep on alert. With that said, I think these bras are worth rolling the dice as I plan to order other colors in the near future!Also, it appears the seller was super responsive with my first order return credits but I’ll know for sure when my statement arrives.

This bra has great support and I may buy more to use as my new everyday bras. It is tricky getting the size right… I normally wear a 38D and that size was way too small so I returned it and got a 40DD, which clasps on the middle hooks and holds the girls in and up perfectly; so go up a band and cup size. Also no uni-boob and it covers my side and back fat, if you know what I mean. As others mentioned it is somewhat tricky to put on. One reviewer suggested stepping into the bra, closing the clasp then turning it forward, lean forward (yay gravity!) and put your arms through the straps and this gets the job done. It is somewhat of a pain, but totally worth it. I’ve never found a sports bra with underwire nor a t-back bra that gives the support I need, and I’m so happy I can wear all the cute tank tops and sun dresses now! If you are buxom, this may not give the best support for high impact aerobics, but if you’re a D or more, I can’t think of any bra that would eliminate bounce.I dropped a star for the sizing and gymnastics required to put the thing on, but otherwise, it really is great support and I’m super happy!!!

I was impressed by the perfect fit & comfort. It's still a pain to get on & off like any sports bra however, the back hooks give you the little extra room to make UT a bit easier than most. Very happy with my purchase.

The padding is minimal, the structure is sound. Definitely true to size. An added perk is you can wear the bra without clasping it in the back, especially if it’s a little snug in the beginning. I gave it 4 stars because you have to put it over your head to take on and off which is not ideal.

I have purchased this bra at least 8 times now. I'm a firefighter & having a bra that's comfortable enough to wear all day but supportive enough for my 34DDD girls was something I thought only existed in my dreams. Now, I can't run with this bra by itself (I layer a wireless VS bra over it for that activity). But I can ride my horses for hours, fight a structure fire, perform CPR & comfortably sleep in it!I will say, if you've bought this bra in the past, they've recently "upgraded"? it. Compared to the original style that I started with, 3 or 4 years ago, the straps are a little wider & the cup offers slightly more coverage. I also have a couple wireless bras made by syrokan that are just as comfy & quality.Syrokan, you don't know how much you've helped me.I'll be coming back for more for sure!
