....Best Sportsbra???

I got mine from Debenhams, works a treat and was about £26 last year I think.
It's a high impact shock absorber - the highest 'number rating' for support possible.
I am a 34F so it has a lot of supporting to do!

I used to swear by shock absorber ones until I went to Bravissimo and they fitted me with a freya underwired one. Not sure if it's minimising but it's very supportive and my boobs do NOT move at all when wearing it. For reference I am 36E.
 
Another vote for Bravassimo, mine's not underwired but is the best sports bra I've ever had! I'm something ridiculous like a 30F! :)
 
Shock Absorber! Got mine from Lessbounce dot com and they are absolutely brilliant. I wear it riding, but i also do alot of running and its great boobs dont move an inch. (i'm a 32 E for reference)

Ive heard good things about Enell bras but they are alot more expensive. Shock absorber are nice enough to wear as outer wear if you are that way inclined, wheras the freya/ bravissimo ones tend to a bit more frightening to look at! lessbounce and boobydoo dot com both offer a great returns policy and will give you advice over the phone , plus they have really good discounts on all the time!
 
36G and I use shock absorber at the mo, but the bravissimo ones can be excellent too. I think tbh that it is best to try on as man as practical as we asre all different shapes and sometimes 'minimises' into mono-boob! :D
 
I like the shock absorbers for flatwork etc but i find under my tweed/ hunt coat they give a horrible shape so I wear a really supportive underwired jobby. I used to be a 36 gg til i had a reduction to 36 d- still need support tho!!!

Another vote for the Freya Active. I used to swear by Shock Absorber but the Freya is far better at supporting my 34E's! And it gives a much better shape, which is nice in summer when you are in t-shirts etc.
 
Another vote for bravissimo!

Also someone on here a dressage rider with lovely red hair did tried and tested in her sports bras that she tried! Do a search on the thread-it was quite popular!

I have 3 of the Freya Active ones, they do look a bit robust when you first put one on but my god do they support :D Murphy, go to Bravissimo, they freak you out at first, the lady I saw measured me on sight - she just took a look at my boobs and came back with perfect fits!! Honestly! I've heard that M&S only measure you for their bras although not sure how true that is but I'm a different size in M&S to anywhere else, which is odd,....

Great selection to suit different levels of control needed & sizes.
 
Actually M & S do, or did, a very good own brand underwired sports bra. I have always found them very comfortable for riding as couldn't get on with the shock absorber. I haven't bought one for ages so don't know if they still do them though.
 
Shock Absorber - although I used to dislike their - I now only like the 'hold it all in' one, not the cupped one.

Or PureLime.

I am a 30F, and always wear mine for exerise
 
I have three: a USA pro-sport which is awful - a real instrument of torture. A shock absorber which is wonderful (I run, row, cycle, do weights etc in it) but expensive (at around £30). I also have M&S own brand sports bra... and performance wise I can't tell the difference between it and the Shock Absorber! It was also cheap as chips! So you can ask in M&S, especially as the impact grading of horse riding will be lower than e.g. running, so they're range should be more than capable of supporting you well 80)
