Copper Fit X-Back Brace for Lower Back Pain, Lumbar Support, Herniated Disc, Sciatica, Arthritis – Adjustable, Breathable Design - for Men and Women (Large/XLarge)

Short intro - as a mid-50's guy I of course managed to throw out my back helping our contractor lift a bathtub up the stairs. The Wife bought me one of these, against my wishes as I'm a great strong heroic lion of a man and don't need old-man gimmicks like this.I was very, very wrong. This thing is fantastic. It fits comfortably and securely, and I immediately, within a few minutes, felt all that back paid to be significantly reduced. Reduced to the point of being able to bend down and pick things up without worrying about getting frozen there - other than some mild twinges now and then I'm back to full function.The brace is well made and comfortable to the point where I went to sleep in it one night. I've been happy to keep it on daily just to not worrying about having full mobility and support, and in particular so that I won't get frozen in my desk chair as I sink slowly down until my eyes are level with my keyboard.In terms of fit, I'm 5'9" and 170lbs, 30" waist (28" at Old Navy). The "Small" size fits me very well though I'm at the lower bound of fit; if I was a bit thinner or lighter I'd need to see if there was a still-smaller option. You could probably fit in the Small size if you are up to around 185-ish lbs - I'd err on the smaller size as it's elastic and designed to be tightened snug. Plus it kind of looks cool and futuristic.The way I think about my highest recommendation is that if for some reason this thing was lost or damaged I'd immediately buy another of the exact same type the same day.

A very good item , one that can be ordered in the size you need. It’s not a cumbersome one size fits all. It helps my lower back pain. Easy to use.

I am using the back brace as I have Sciatica and causes my lower back pain to also go into buttocks and legs. I started using this back brace and it is easy to put on and adjust to your needs. I use it at work as I am a professor at a University that keeps me on my feet most of the day. This back brace works very well to stop the pain so I can make it through the day. Easy to adjust tension to your needs and no issues with sitting either. This one works where others I have tried didn’t. Quality materials, and proper support while walking, standing, sitting, driving etc.DrDave. Utah, USA

Back Brace. Runs short.I’m tall and it is too short for me, plus a very hard piece digs into my back and hurts me. This copper brace It is not good for a tall female size 12. I returned it

WORKS REALLY WELL !!! VERY PLEASED WITH ORDER !!! GIVES VERY GOOD BACK SUPPORT !!! THIS ONE I ORDERED FOR MOM !!! SHE LIKED MINE SO WELL !!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I needed something more durable and secure than what I'd been using. This back brace helps some, but something less bulky, hot, and complicated would be more useful. It takes me several minutes to put this thing on, and I have to check in a mirror to make sure the straps haven't come out of the guides in back. Then if I need to make an adjustment later, I have to find a restroom or private spot to do so. Not the best for wearing to work in the spotlight. I have to watch that none of the velcro catches on any fine fabrics, as it will snag the heck out of them. At this point I'm thinking more along the lines of a sturdy but lightweight elastic tube or girdle. If someone could figure out how to make one easily adjustable, it would be perfect.

Tried this brace on and it seems to fit well. I will work in it next week and hope it performs to alleviate back strain.

Boy I don't know how I went this long without it, it works great. When I am working outside, lifting or standing a long period of time wearing it and have no pain. When I was not wearing it I definitely feel the pain afterword.
