Brooks Glycerin Printed Bra Top Review

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

The Glycerin Printed Bra Top is designed for moderate support for A to B cups. The Glycerin has a racer back style, however, the straps flair from a single strap into double straps for some added detail and style. The Glycerin is highly supportive thanks stretch mesh fabric and compression cups that truly provide support and shape, and stays in place while on the run. Our tester is a 34 B and wears a size medium; she felt that the top gave her excellent support, however she felt the bra top was best suited for A cup or AB cupped women because she felt there was too much padding. Perhaps, a lighter amount of padding for B cuppers or sizing based on cup size would help solve this problem. Our tester also reported slight chaffing along the top seam during longer runs, greater than 2.5 hours. Testers did enjoy the dipped under arm seam because of the excellent freedom of movement. The Glycerin, is vary similar to Brooks Pacer Sports Bra and was more comfortable on shorter running and hiking bouts. The Glycerin Printed Bra top is available in a three different bright colors and floral patterns that are fun to wear by themselves on a hot summer run.
