Founded in 1995, Shock Absorber is a well-known British professional sports bra brand, and is now affiliated with one of the world's largest bra manufacturers, the American HANES Group. Shock Absorber has been working on the research and development of shock absorption for the chest, which is why its high-intensity sports bra has always remained competitive. In 2005, a chest 3D motion study at the University of Portsmouth showed that the Shock Absorber sports bra was twice as effective in reducing chest shake as a regular sports bra, and could effectively reduce chest shock by 78%, making it a veritable shock absorber.
 
There are only two Shock Absorber product lines, namely Ultimate and Active, both of which are made of fabrics containing 81% polyamide, 10% polyester and 9% elastane, which have good moisture absorption and sweat wicking properties, and have a certain elasticity and a good fit effect. In terms of color matching, Shock Absorber is more attentive than Moving Comfort, with more styles to choose from, and the price is generally within 500 yuan. In the 2017 Running Awards, one of the world's most professional running media, its product Ultimate Run Bra won a Gold Award, and Active Multi Sports Support won a Silver Award. The overall size of the Shock Absorber is generally one size larger, and most women can choose the right cup shape here.
 
Designed for high intensity, the Ultimate features the Infinity-8 support system, which reduces chest swaying, making it ideal for long-term, high-intensity workouts such as long-distance running. In terms of design, a seamless inner process is used to reduce friction and further optimize the wearing experience, and the A-F cup is suitable for 200~500 yuan. The Ultimate Run Bra is the most classic style in the series, with a fixed bra strap and stripper buckle on the back for a professional look, and it is not like a regular bra with a large area closed on the back, which is more conducive to sweat management and easy to adjust and take off. However, due to the high-density parallel lock mesh design of the Ultimate series, while increasing the firmness of the fabric, it also sacrifices a certain breathability, which may be stuffy to wear.
 
The Active series is made of Powermesh elastic fabric, which emphasizes breathability, and adopts a breasted and zipper design, which is very easy to put on and take off. The Active series is suitable for a wider range of people than Ultimate, using a compression design to fix the chest, which can be used for medium-intensity sports such as HIIT, basketball, dance, etc., and is suitable for A-G cups, and the price is between 200 yuan and 400 yuan. If bumps are a concern, the Active range also has cups for better sculpting and the support you need for moderate intensity exercise. Compared with Moving Comfort, Shock Absorber has more purchase channels, and is available on China's official website, online flagship store, Amazon and other platforms.
