Looking to buy high impact sports bras online in Australia, and need help narrowing down the selection? Well, firstly, we’re huge fans of Shock Absorber, whose designs are based on extensive bio-mechanic research. Rather than simply compress the breasts and call it a day, they’ve studied exactly how breasts move during exercise (it turns out, it’s something of a figure-of-8 movement) and then developed bras with features added specifically to counteract that. As a result, their Ultimate Run Bra has been proven to reduce bounce by up to 78%!
But which Shock Absorber sports bra is right for you? Partly, it depends on your cup size, as larger breasts move more and need firmer support to hold them steady. Mostly though, it comes down to the type of exercise you do. A high-intensity kickboxing class obviously calls for more rigid stability than a gentle yoga session, whatever your bust size.
Shock Absorber sports bras for low-impact activities
e.g. yoga, weight lifting, rowing, or cycling.
While Shock Absorber is best known for their bras with truly extreme support, they do have one style that offers light to middling support for your less intensive workout days: the deceptively simple-looking Active Crop Top with compression plus encapsulation support.

This is where Shock Absorber really shines, and the category that most of their sports bras fall into. We’ve already mentioned their award-winning Ultimate Run Bra, which has a high racerback and delivers friction-free comfort for those jogs, sprints, and marathons. There’s also a padded version, the Ultimate Run Bra Padded.

Naturally, all Shock Absorber sports bras are made from high-performance fabrics that wick away moisture, and they’re always made with comfort in mind as much as support. It’s no wonder they’re the UK’s number one sports bra brand, and maybe soon they’ll be recognized as the best sports bras in Australia too!
