Shock Absorber

Launched in 1995 following extensive research by Edinburgh University into the effects of excessive exercise on breast tissue, Shock Absorber sports bras are the heavy duty sports bra for the woman who wants to exercise in style and comfort, without worrying about the long term effects that this might have in terms of sagging and discomfort.

Unlike the traditional sports bras - usually a plain, non-wired bra which offers little more support than an elastic crop-top - the Shock Absorber sports bras is specifically tailored to your needs and comes in a variety of colours, styles and strap positions, all aimed at giving you the very best support and comfort during exercise.

To help you choose your ideal bra type and position, Shock Absorber bras are categorised in 'levels', with Level 4 being the type suited to the most strenuous exercise and Level 1 suited to lighter forms of exercise. Bras are then further specialised by the type of sport they are designed for. For example, the range of bras for tennis and other racket sports feature special technology designed specifically for this type of movement, such as 'Strap Glide' straps which move with the body. Most of the more heavy duty bras feature thick, padded straps ensuring total comfort for the shoulders and back, reducing the chance of chafing or strap marks. Many also use breathable material which helps to draw moisture away from the body, keeping you cool even during strenuous exercise.

A range of Shock Absorber swimwear is also available to keep you stylish and structured even while swimming. This range swimsuits also features chlorine-resistant material and seamless pieces to further improve comfort.
