Review on ๐Ÿง˜ Gaiam Restore Total Support Posture Corrector for Women & Men - Neoprene Back Straightener, Adjustable Straps, Compact Brace Support for Clavicle, Neck, Shoulder, Promotes Invisible Pain Relief by Nathan Pintac

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality stand with good stitching, no sharp edges and light weight

The stitching on the stand is sewn very well, no protruding threads, straight lines and nice rounded corners are much better than the supports you put in Major find retailers shops. Good quality neoprene reminds me of my scuba gear but at a much better price. The brace is comfortable in the waist and back but I wish it had a front strap so the shoulder straps don't dig into your arms as they are quite narrow (see third picture of shoulder strap). I would give it five stars if it came with an optional front chest strap to put the load on your chest instead of your shoulders. The part of the velcro sewn to the belt is quite small, usually on belts with velcro, I like a big patch so the belt doesn't slip so easily in the long run when the sticky parts start to wear out (see first picture). I tried wearing an assistive device while doing chores, but after a few hours the shoulder straps became a bit uncomfortable. If you loosen the shoulder straps so they don't cut into your arms, they won't support your back and posture. This is a well-made back brace with a slight strong smell of glue that goes away after the clothes are washed. The back support is good for light loads or long-hour carry, but the narrow shoulder straps make me uncomfortable. I'm 5ft 11" and about 200lbs and had a size L/XL trailer.
