I recently purchased this item in the hopes that it would help alleviate/prevent a great amount of pain and stress I inflict on my right rotator cuff during sports activities and my regular workouts. I am sure that this product is positively fabulous for the well-built, toned men that are pictured in the many marketing pictures, as that it is very well made and it appears to hug them snugly.

As an athletic female, at 120 lbs and 5'5", having plenty of muscle, I am unable to use this product. I gather I am still rather slight in comparison to these men in the chest; expanded chest size being very important to the proper wear of this contraption.

As a result the XS size does not fit properly (baggy across the collarbones and in the hollow of the shoulder and runs up my neck. It offers no support or stability to my shoulder.If you are female, slight like me- with a bra size less than a 34whatever - you are better off using a standard ace bandage with icy hot for support and heat of your shoulder. Save yourself the money...

Men - This product probably is awesome for you.

Good product. I chose the ex small, and it fitted fairy well. The support rubbed on my neck and underarm causing bruises - I got around that by placing padding in the 2 areas.
It is still a much better product than others I have tried. Personally though, the ex small could have been smaller in the back measurement.
I continue to use this product especially at nights when sleeping.

I have an expanded chest size of 39" which I determined the S/M 35" - 40" size would fit. When I received the product it was labeled simply as a Small and even the invoice listed it as a small 35.25" - 37.5". The product seemed to be of good quality but obviously too small for me. I have requested to either return the product for a Medium or a refund but have not heard back yet.

The product literature talks a lot about how effective it is at wicking away sweat. Nevertheless with any heat or movement you will get quite sweaty.

It bunches up when you raise your arm. It does nothing. Don't waste your money. Keep looking for something else.
