This is a gorgeous sports bra but the back is very tight and the material around the clasps does not cover the hooks sufficiently so it digs in when exercising. I bought this for distance running but cannot wear it as even for short periods it cuts in to my skin :( as a friend purchased this for me whilst I was living abroad I cannot return it. I would recommend sizing up on the band, cup size seems true to size. Shame as apart from this chafing issue it feels very supportive

Comfortable, went up cup sze

Having only ever tried one other wired sports bra, it took a bit of time to find a suitable one. I have often found the Bravissimo range to come up a little small. I went for my normal bra size and while the cup was perfect the back size was a bit tight which made the underworld dig in round the front.

This is my second bra of the same colour (teal/pink) but I sized up in the cup for this second one, as my usual 36FF was a little too snug when I wear this in racer-back mode! 36G is perfect! It separates the boobs well (I hate a mono boob or top/side spillage when working out) and is very supportive and secure when I’m leaping about! It’s not too tricky to do up, compared to many sports bras I’ve tried; I loosen the shoulder straps to the max if I know I’m using the J hook (otherwise it’s too tight in this mode!) do up the normal back hooks then reach over my shoulders to clip the J hook in place. Just wish there were nicer colours…a vivid blue or shocking pink would be nice!

Very helpful assistant found what I needed Listening Attentive

This is my second our base of the Apollo Bra and I honestly would buy a third. The material, straps and support all equate to a sports bra that gives shape but also support whilst exercising. It's comfortable enough that I've worn it all day without issue. The price point is more than I would usually choose to pay for a sports bra however it really is worth it.

My best sports bra so far

Finally, a sports bra without padding! Very comfortable, gives a nice shape under clothing. I wish the straps were a teensy bit longer and that it came in other colors!
