Back Brace Posture Corrector for Women and Men Back Lumbar Support Shoulder Posture Support for Improve Posture Provide and Back Pain Relief (XL)

ESTA MUCHO MUY ECONÓMICA.. NOOO LA RECOMIENDO...

*First off let me say how this fitsI am about 5”9 I am 218 lbs and I purchased the xl of this . It fits perfect . It isn’t tight or uncomfortable in anyway around my torso chest back or hips etc.* secondly let me talk about why I purchased this for me . I recently broke my spine and fractured my T4 . I had surgery ( surgery went great ) . After my recovery time the doctor cleared me to go fully back to work . ( I am a cdl driver for a garbage company) a lot of heavy lifting is involved. So I bought this product just to add support just to get me back into the swings of things at work . It is perfect ! It supports the very top of my spine ( upper middle between shoulder blades ) and supports all the middle and lower . I mean complete support of back and middle of spine . The Velcro doesn’t come off at work ( sweating a lot ) also I am able to wear it comfortably outside my work shirt if needed . ( our work shirts are long sleeve and like a spf wear ). It’s breathable on me so I don’t feel like I’m suffocating and also my biggest thing . This doesn’t make it awkward in any way . Like I can perform task ( physically). And it doesn’t prevent from bending lifting sitting for long periods of time ( like cdl driving )Last is like to say everyone is different. But if you’re looking for something to help you out like what I needed then this is for you . Give it a try

They recommended to go a size up-- why?!?! It stretches very easily, and the waist belt right side only has a tiny (about 1") strip of velcro to connect to the ridiculous amount of velcro underneath that stops short by about 16 inches for me, and I of course got this so I could begin killing it hard again/ more than I was after I got hurt...it's not even possible make it fit. The entire straps which go so far past the connecting part they have nothing to stick to- and again, the left side of the waist belt has at least 16 inches of velcro doing absolutely nothing but bunching up and sliding down, underneath the right side that has no Velcro inside except for the tiny little strip at the end, which comes past/over the left, across my stomach, around my ribs, and almost back around to my spine - I have a 31.5- 32" waist if I measure over my hoodies I start my work out in- so I guess it's a minimum of 16 inches past any of the connecting velcro... except it looks like a heck of a lot more-- like this thing is meant for a guy who is at least 20-30 lbs heavier than I am maybe more like 40 lbs idk it's huge! (I'm 6'2" 175lbs., very athletic- muscular, defined, cut/ripped/toned whatever)- if I wear pants that are tailor fit- like dressy formalwear occasions and such - I'm a 30" waist, 32" length leg or inseam) I climb trees with my chainsaws, and lots of gear for a living...and Backpack Hike/Camp the Presidentals & surrounding mountain ranges all 5000' and above, with my Labrador-- right here in my backyard on my days off-- we live at 4300' above sea level so even a walk in the woods at the house is a serious hike- pack enough to stay out there just in case... I also free solo climb (rock), ice climb, Snowboard, snowshoe, mountain bike, surf, race motoX, skydive, drive without a seatbelt 😱 JK jeez ... Anything else - extreme sport or just extreme - it's how I got a back injury that I had to get a darn back brace for. And since then the other one which is AWESOME.Oh yeah the irony is -- the places with too much velcro- the straps, loop, etc. serve to nothing else but leave you covered in lint, pet hair, threads, and everything else in the world that sticks to velcro. Like a walking fly strip - yuck. And it's not breathable for beans so prepare to sweat a lot more than average.Appearance? If it fit and you look like me-- or a combination of Jake Gyllenhaal (eyes- big & blue like that dudes) Matthew Mcconneagh- same build when he's not playing a super skinny underweight role. Or something like a taller twin brother of the late Paul Walker - that pretty much nails it in one pass... Well, even if you look like that, or chicas: if you look like Jessica Alba, or Alona Tal, or something like Jessica Chastain in Ava- any of the above - it looks like a black back brace that got rolled around in a fuzzy carpet with several dogs and a cat who decided to chew up the couch for lunch-It's definitely not a fashion statement, that's for sure...Weight? it's light. Too light in fact, considering how much this is oversized for me, it still wouldn't support my back if it did fit correctly because the flat support bars and material they're in, stop short by about 8 inches from my lumbar/sacrum L5/S1 where they would have to be in order to support any part of the spine... value for the money: what value? None. Simple, don't waste your money on this, Mueller and many many more companies make excellent alternatives for this thing...I DO NOT recommended this one. At all.

UPDAE TOO! I had some work being done at the local seamstress. TOday I took the brace in and asked her about the velcro. SHE FIXED IT ON THE SPOT FOR FREE! Literally...her compassion was really cool as she said, "you should not wait for your back...I will fix it right now." Then she wouldn't take money for it. All she did was sew on a three inch piece of new velcro beside the factory piece on the ends of the straps. PROBLEM SOLVED! I can't even push the straps to come loose now if I try. Wearing the brace and really noticing the difference.So buy it. Figure out how to work the straps. But by all means...don;t settle for cheap-o corner-cutting. Go get some velcro sewn on there.UPDATE. After two weeks, the velcro fails very fast. It is not working out and does not stay fastened. CHEAP materials and not enough velcro. Now unusable and a waste of too much money for the quality.The video does not show how to arrange the straps and run them to fit properly. The instructions are complete dogcrap.It takes a bit to figure out. Don't let anyone fool you.Lay it out face down and imagine draping the straps forward over your shoulders...you can see how they won't cross across the back with the vecro on the proper side. So you have to turn the strap halfway. Don;t do it up by the shoulder or you will never figure out how to put it on.Turn the strap over at the bottom just before crossing it over throough the loop on the back. Be aware...it is velcro...so it is not easy to slip through the loop without it catching on the vest and pissing you off. So be patient and expect it. Then you can temporarily stick the velcro to the waist straps til you get the thing on.Pick it up without moving it around and you can see how you just have to sorta slip your arm in each side without changing the position or direction of the straps. Once you have the straps run, the only thing to get used to is putting it on.Not easy the first few times. But try it a few times and it gets better as you get used to it. Hopefully.Once you have your arms throough the shoulder straps, sinch the waist straps tight around your gut. Then you have to sort of twist yourself back to grab the hanging straps one at a time. But once you get em, you just pull them around to the front, hold your shoulders way back, then stick the velcro as tight as you feel comfortable.Follow the instructions about wearing it gradually. It may not seem like it, but soon it starts to really feel tight as it pulls your shoulders back. So take breaks.And the waist strap is comfy enough. As a fat guy, it cuts into my gut at the top when sitting at my desk all day. So there is that. You get used to positioning it best for you.Worst part is they cheeped out on the velcro and the cross-straps pop loose all the time while sitting at my desk. Maybe I am fat at 6ft and 225lb. But still, the little pieces of velcro are a cheap move.Hope this helps some other frustrated angry customer who can't get the thing on!

Good value for the money
