I trim horse hooves as one of my jobs. I am bent over, sometimes for 2 hours at a time, lifting and holding horse hooves and legs, while using rasps, nippers, and an angle grinder. This puts a lot stress on my lower back muscles. This back support turned my sore back into a pain free zone, and it seems my back muscles are actually stronger from using it. Before I bought this back support, I was using a wide, military, Alice belt, which was OK, but this back support is better.

The design of this back support is good. It is kind of like a black girdle that you can wear on the outside of your clothes, sort of Madonna-style. You see the guys at Home Depot wearing these all the time, too. The materials from which it is made are good, the stitching is good, and it has several adjustments to tailor its fit to your particular body size and shape. It folds up nicely for easy storage and transport.

It is definitely worth the money I paid for it.

This back support brace by Decade is their middle-of-the-line back brace. I bought this one because it was affordable, but a little more substantial than the basic model. This brace has decently rigid back support, but I've seen better. The belts with better support are always more expensive however. I don't wear a support belt much, but I needed it for occasional heavy lifting at work, so I thought this one would do fine. It works well, but just remember, a back support belt/brace doesn't keep you from lifting incorrectly, only YOU can keep yourself from lifting incorrectly. This belt simply gives you additional support, and a constant reminder you can feel to lift correctly.

My husband's old support was stretched out. Looked for another. This is a great deal. My husband uses it all of the time especially for things like bringing in firewood, lefting heavy bags, etc. Good price...good product! Very well made.

I ordered two of these for my husband and son. My husband is 6'2" tall and very muscular. I measured him and our son carefully and followed the ordering instructions. Neither belt I ordered fit them properly and had to be returned. Because I liked the design and the price point, I reordered in a larger size. It is far too soon to know how well it will wear. The belt is very comfortable (as these things go) and offers adequate support. (We purchased them for use during yard work, which is a year-round endeavor here in Florida. We have a very large, heavily landscaped property.) I would recommend this product but I would absolutely "size up."
