Shock Absorber Sports Bra Size Chart & Sizing
The high-impact sports bra brand graded in bra sizes, with UK cup letters: the benchmark for running support.
Shock Absorber in numbers
Shock Absorber's Ultimate Run and Active Multi Sports bras are the reference for high-impact support sold in real bra sizes. UK letters apply: DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH. Fit is firm by design; wear the measured band, not looser.

Does Shock Absorber run small or big?
Shock Absorber bands run firm across UK bands 30–40: if you sit between bands, take the larger band with the same cup volume (a sister size).
Shock Absorber cups grade true to the measured difference from A to HH: a gap or overflow in the measured letter is a shape signal, so change the cut before the size.
Shock Absorber wires are average width for the UK system. Straps: Wide, adjustable; racerback options.
