Fabulous support, difficult to get on and off February 18, 2010
E E B (Bethlehem, PA)
WOW! Does this bra ever live up to the hype. I'm a full 34D cup and once I get it on, I don't bounce at all!! It is SOO difficult to find a racer back style that truly emliminates bounce, but this one does. That being said, it is a pain in the neck to get on and off. I actually have to get my husband to help me by fastening it once it's on, b/c I practically dislocated my shoulder trying to wrench my arm into a position that would let me do the hooks. Now I just leave it hooked all the time, never undo it, and wriggle my way into it as best I can. I actually have to reach down and pull my boobs into each cup one at a time, once I get it over my torso. But it works, so it's worth it!!
 Runs small in the cup, band too loose - still bounce February 2, 2010
Honest Consumer (USA)
Wow, this bra had WINNER written all over it here and it looked like a winner to me. I just got it. Putting it on was not hard for me, I'm flexible but it will require the ability to reach around the back with both hands at the same time so take that into consideration. The material is great / quality and sturdy - shiny - pretty - okay... but the breast couldn't completely fit into the C cup size (I bought at 34C and I am a 34C). So lots of boob went UP UP UP over the top and you know that looks silly. This is because of lots of SIDE pushing in, for motion control. The band on the tightest hooks (there are three back there and the padding over them is great) is too loose... need ONE more set of hooks. I can't order this in a 32D.... I'm not a 32D and they don't make it in a 32D... so that's that. Upon jumping up and down several times... yep, some bounce ----- NOTHING BEATS THE ENELL - NOTHING... and I have worn one of those... so if this doesn't cut it, try the Enell... but finding the right size in that can be a real nightmare - costly... ~~~~ Returning this and wearing Enell 00 instead. I'd rather wear a too tight but works Enell than an "almost tight and not right / still bouncin' " Champion Powerback. Also, the straps on this were too short... even when let all the way out. Hmmmm. Guess I'm bigger boobed, longer waisted and smaller chested than most ladies? Most seemed happy here. If I didn't have Enell, I'd wear this, but I'd still be looking for a better bra (less bounce, cups that fit and a smaller bandsize.) Darn. Oh well, Enell isn't a bad option, it's just hot as **** in the summer. Thanks for reading this.
Finally Found it! January 30, 2010

I'd been looking all over in stores for a bra that helps me "stay put" while exercising. I took a chance at on line ordering snd this is exactly what I was looking for and the price was right! Thank You

 Just ok...Powersleek is better January 2, 2010
Holly Wells (Ohio)
I bought my Powerback at the same time as I got the Powersleeks. The Powersleek is definitely superior for bounce control. Because I run sometimes (in addition to cardio kickboxing and other bouncy stuff), that's my top concern with a sports bra--it HAS to control bounce! And at 36C, I can't afford to let the girls loose once in a while.
Pros: It's OK for low- to mid-impact stuff, like regular step aerobics, elliptical, walking, or yoga. And it gives you enough separation that you look like a woman, not someone in an Elizabethan costume.
Cons: Just not enough support for the price. And the biggest PITA of all? Putting it on over my head! What good are back hooks if you have to hook them before you put the bra on? I never fail to catch the underwire somewhere on my head or neck and end up getting myself all tangled up in the stupid thing. If you have someone around to help you put your bra on before every workout, might not be an issue. For me, though, the Powerback is basically a bench warmer because it's such a PITA just to get it on. And it's even harder to take back OFF again if it's all sweaty and damp--you need the jaws of life to get you out of this thing.
Summary: If it's loose enough to get over your head, it's probably not tight enough to give adequate support for running. Well, that's *my* experience, anyway. Pass on this one, and get a bra you can hook normally.
Perfect for high impact sports December 21, 2009
Carolina Lugo (Venezuela)
This is perfect for high impact sports, there's almost no bouncing, I have a large breast 34DD and works very nice for me.
The only problem is to put it on...and out, but it totally worth it.
