I need to be honest for a quick second. I’ve been trying to write this post for weeks — WEEKS! — and just haven’t taken the time to do it. Let’s all thank the Spring Break for giving me some time to actually breathe for a few days. #teacherproblems
A few weeks ago, I talked about some of the best sports bras for chesty ladies. While I was writing that post, I discovered that one of my favorite bras, the Moving Comfort Juno, had been updated by Brooks. Was Moving Comfort purchased by Brooks? It appears that way. Anyway, I was due for a new bra, so I decided to order the Brooks version and compare it to my trusty Moving Comfort.
Overall, I maintain that the Juno is still one of the best sports bras for a large bust. While some of the reviews on the Brooks website are lackluster, I find the changes to be subtle. The most noticeable (at least when you’re wearing it) difference between the Brooks Juno and the Moving Comfort Juno is that the Brooks is less modest in the cleavage area. The previous style had a slight v-neck and the Brooks style is crew neck and doesn’t lay as flat on my chest. Modesty, or lack thereof, can be a deal breaker for some women — in fact, it usually is for me. However, this honestly doesn’t bother me at all! I don’t notice it while I’m running. In my opinion, the best sports bra is the one you’re not thinking about during activity. With a snug band, adjustable straps, hook-and-eye closure in the back, and breathable support during long runs, the Brooks Juno makes a great addition to your collection!

Cons:
A bit pricey ($65.00)
Less modest than the previous version
Some may find it difficult to get on/off
Tell me: What’s your favorite sports bra or other workout gear?
I’m linking up this post for Fit & Fashionable Friday with Nicole!

I’ve been looking for a good high impact sports bra. This one looks great!! Thanks for sharing!
Jessica says
It’s a great bra! I highly recommend it!
Hannah says
My favorite sports bras are from Shock Absorber and Sturdy Girl – both are pricy, but I can usually find them on sale!
My previous go-to was the Moving Comfort Rebound Racer – unfortunately it did not fare as well with the Brooks takeover as your Juno did :/
Jessica says
That is so disappointing about the Rebound Racer! It’s always a little upsetting when your old faithful products are suddenly different. I will have to look into the Shock Absorber and Sturdy Girl! Those just sound like awesome bras!

I just tried this on the other day and also found it hard to get on and off especially when sweaty. I do love the quality of their bras and they are great for larger sized tops
Jessica says
I think disconnecting the straps when getting on/off would help, but I’m way too lazy to do that every time I wear it. 😉

I’m lucky….I don’t need top-dollar bras to work their magic on me LOL I’ve had great luck with Target and Old Navy. Truth. 😉
Jessica says
Oh, wow! I’m so jealous, haha. I would love to be able to wear a Target bra!
