W's Ascend Sports Bra

W's Ascend Sports Bra

Comfortable, supportive and like the higher fit at the front. Pocket in the back is a useful feature.

It comes up quite high so shows above most vest neckline but not so high that it it can be classed as ‘high neck’ and a feature in its own right so not quite sure what the point of this ‘mid way’ neckline is. I’m not bothered from the perspective of showing off my sports bra but it just looks weird under a top. I’d rather it was slightly lower so I don’t have to always make sure I wear it with a high neck vest or was higher so it is just a high neck.

For us post breastfeeding mamas out there who don’t carry their breast tissue stuffing at the top anymore- the advantage of the above mid chest neckline feature is that there is added room in there to stuff some gels/ fuel- which I have and will continue to do.

Bought predominately for the phone pocket between the shoulders as it so hard to find bras with this feature (and to replace an old Brooks drive bra that no longer sell it in the uk). It’s a good contender for the replacement. If the front was slightly lower - I’d definitely buy in my colours and make it a staple in my running wardrobe.

always have a major problem with chaffing, especially around my collarbones, and when wearing a running vest/rucksack. delighted that i don’t have any of these problems with this sports bra. and great support to begin with!

I’ve only worn this for one race but didn’t notice anything negative about it. Was a risk wearing something new for the first time on race day but having tried it on I knew it was going to be solid. No scratchiness or itching anywhere, good fit all round. Only thing is the removable pads need adjusting into place a bit

This would be amazing if it could be adjusted to shorten the strap, I found it a bit loose and I don't have a small bust. Also I personally do not like removable pads, I wish it was just part of the bra.

I love love love the phone pocket. Just wish the pads weren’t removable - they come out every time I wash it and it’s annoying having to put them back in. I also think £65 is a bit steep for a bra like this.

I like the material and feel of the bra. But the padding doesn’t stay in place, so the breast part is sort of messy looking (not smooth cups). Also, it’s not as high support as I expected. This is the most expensive bra I own and sadly it didn’t live up to expectations.
