Asics Cross Back Bra

The Asics Cross Back Bra features X-shape, adjustable shoulder straps that experts either love or hate. So far the consensus leans strongly toward love, with reviewers in two prominent fitness magazines praising the straps for creating a comfortable, highly customizable fit. They say the Cross Back Bra's encapsulation-style support is best for small cup sizes, and the tightly woven fabric and chest band help minimize bounce.

There aren't many user reviews for this bra yet, but most of those we did find come from C- and D-cup wearers. The majority say the Cross Back Bra does a good job of supporting them and is very comfortable, although one complains about struggling to get the bra on. Another says that the straps "look cool," but cut into her shoulders. Looks aside, users like the bra's encapsulation-style fit, which prevents the unattractive "uniboob" look some sports bras produce. Expert reviewers say the Champion Shape T-Back Sports Bra (*Est. $30), our best reviewed bra for B-cup wearers, is also a good fit for A cups.

We found reviews of the Asics Cross Back Bra at Runner's World -- one of the most authoritative and prolific sources for sports bra reviews -- and Shape magazine. This bra doesn't have as much consumer feedback as its competition, but there are a handful of helpful posts at Zappos.com and a single enthusiastic user review on Amazon.com.
