good support, accurate sizing
This is a nice very supportive back brace. I have needed to wear a back brace since I was a teenager. I am always looking for the perfect brace. I guess you probably are too since you are reading this review. I have yet to find a brace that will meet all my needs. Some days I need a brace that provides support. Other days I need a brace that will help relieve back pain. I like this brace the size chart in the pictures is accurate. This brace has metal vertical supports attached to the horizontal breathable elastic bands. These metal supports are encased in a cloth sleeve. This support is long; it extends from my hips to my rib cage. ( I have a long torso) If you slouch the metal supports may poke you in the ribcage. Sitting pushes this brace up so it moves out of place. This is a great brace to wear on days that you need good breathable support. I could wear it comfortably for a few hours. I recommend wearing it over a shirt to avoid it chaffing your skin. The Velcro bands are about 4 inches wide. If you need a tighter fit the hook part of the Velcro will attach to the brace even where there is no loop part to attach to. However it think if you do this a lot it may cause the brace to wear out more quickly. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.
