This is my second McDavid back support of this style. The first one was worn to shreds. I've had lumbar back surgery 2x in the past (lifetime of extreme sports and falling off of things taller than I am). This belt along with regular yoga ensures that I won't have surgery a third time . I've had many back belts over the years with all sorts of stays, varying heights, etc. and this is the one that I always selected.

Back belts aren't designed to be the sole source of support - you've got to have some muscle, too, or you can really damage spine. This back belt has 2 adjustments - the main Velcro tab and the two, outer Velcro side tabs. It's the outer side tabs that really adjust the support and help to 'suck it up' during strenuous activities. The neoprene is great because it keeps my lower back muscles cozy and warm. The power mesh sides also allow the belt to breathe everywhere else. The neoprene can make it sweaty in my lower back (if you work out, you know about that puddle back there), but I don't mind because the belt works as it should. There are less expensive back belts on the market and they might perform just as well as this one, but as far as I can tell the others lack neoprene, breathable mesh and two levels of adjustment.

I am a senior golfer, and my back gives me fits every so often. This back support is extremely well made, solid, provides good support, and I can wear it under my clothing. Great product. I also have the Mueller back support, and it is just as good as this one. Enjoy.

I have light back problems from a 2.5 year old and growing spare tire (career change to deskwork, which I wish I would have known about). This goes comfortably under clothes and I can always un-do the compression straps quickly if in the car or sitting at a meeting. RE-doing them is a little more of a problem if my shirt is tucked in, but if not it's easy too. When I feel any pain, I put this on for a few minutes and it seems to go away quickly for good... until I lift that 2.5 year old the wrong way again or over-do it during a workout.

I have bought three other back support braces for use at work and on my motorcycle. This is a really good light duty support brace. It has mesh in the sides which help to keep you cool. The velcro lasts a long time. The velcro on the staps do not overhang the edges and hook onto your clothing. This was a fatal flaw on a very popular name brand back support that saw the garbage can way before it wore out. The adjustment straps work easily and well for a wide range of fit options. You can make it snug or loose quickly.
It is thin, not bulky, and works well under my custom motorcycling pants. Again, being partly mesh is a big plus. It works great for keeping my back straight while riding. Less fatigue and reduced back strain.
Not the cheapest light duty support but worth the price.

I got this one and found it uncomfortable. The one mistake many manufacturers make is that the front strapping is too narrow. When this is the case, it tends to gather and cut, especially on portly fellows like myself. The ACE version of this support has a wider front strap and more adjustment. I am able to wear it for longer periods of time, and even forget at times that I'm wearing a support. Not so for the McDavid.

If you're a bigger guy, do a search on Amazon for "ACE Back Brace, 1-Count Package" and select the first item that comes up.

I love this back brace support; I wear daily for alpine skiing in the winter, once in awhile for golf and also heavy duty work. It is very SUPPORTIVE for that active individual; the brace has actually protected me very well from injury.
I would highly recommend this back brace!!

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS BACK SUPPORT. AS I GET OLDER, IT IS EASY TO SLUMP OVER FROM THE WEIGHT OF YOUR BREASTS OR CURVATURE OF THE SPINE. THIS BRACE NOT ONLY SUPPORTS YOUR BREAST VERY COMFORTABLY WHILE SLIMMING YOUR WAIST ....I COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT IT. I ALSO BOUGHT IT IN TWO SIZES ...

This is the BEST back brace available as an OTC for the price. I have had other back braces that did not support your back like this brace. My neurosurgeon said that as an OTC this looks very good. If ti works use it. And it WORKS
