If you're a runner or love high-intensity cardio, you know the struggle of finding a great sports bra. In my experience, many of the new stylish activewear sets offer almost no support. While they make work for cycling, hiking, and yoga, you really need something more substantial when high-impact cardio is involved.
It can be uncomfortable or downright painful to exercise in the wrong sports bra, and doing so may lead to more long-term discomfort. I've tried so many workout bras over the years, but nothing has really worked when it comes to minimizing bounce. I noticed a few new direct-to-consumer brands popping up on my social feed and decided to give them a try. I wore each one for the same workout class, a 60-minute Peleton Bootcamp, and was really impressed by each of these bras. Keep reading for the top three performers.

Shefit Ultimate Sports Bra: Review
Shefit Ultimate Sports Bra ($65)
The front zipper makes the bra easy to get on and off. It has a fully adjustable rib band and straps, so you can adjust for maximum comfort and support. This bra really holds you in place.

Runderwear Easy-On Support Running Bra: Review
Easy-On Support Running Bra (D-J) ($63, originally $70)
This bra has a fully open back, which means it's breathable. It also has a very soft fabric considering how technical it is. This bra stayed in place and was comfortable against my skin during a long run. This bra is designed for larger cup sizes and is available in sizes 28D–40J. For smaller sizes, go for the Original Support Running Bra ($49, originally 70) instead.

Knix Catalyst Sports Bra: Review
Knix Catalyst Sports Bra ($89)
This is the most supportive high-impact wireless sports bra I've ever tried. Designed to drastically reduce breast movement, the Catalyst fit like second skin. I really like that you have an option to buy a front-zip or back-clip version for a totally seamless look.
