I have read so many reviews about this particular sports bra that I was really excited to try it. The support was definitely there - no bounce present!  The straps were really comfortable and the back of the bra (where the bra clasps) is slightly padded. The true test was when I tried it on with my active wear. I did not like how there was a seam in the middle of the cups that showed through my clothing.  What I disliked the most was that the underwire stuck up so high in middle of the bra that it showed through the shirt as well. Needless to say, as much as I wanted to like this bra, and the support was there, it was returned.
