Met Expectations for a great price!
I thought this worked out well, considering I wasn't willing to pay sixty dollars for one, or more. It's made of a strong but stretchy material, which I liked. I read a review that said to order down, and I completely agree with that, would reccomend that. I was thinking about a medium, but got a small and it was perfect (I'm about 5'6", 125 lbs, a B-cup, about 32-34 inches around, if that helps with sizing for you women out there).
Some things I'd like to mention:
Obviously these things don't MAKE you completely stand up straight, like a rigid board down your back. They make it so your shoulder blades are flat, and your shoulders straight, instead of hunched. It doesn't correct your lower back or hips, if you have a problem with that. It serves as a reminder, and is comfortable while not being too intrusive. If you want something that demands that you stand up straight, I'd reccomend paying the sixty dollars.
The other thing I'd like to mention is that you DEFINITELY want to wear a shirt under this--the part against your back feels great, but the elastic/adjustable velcro area, and the edges can rub you the wrong way on occasion.
Other than that, it's great, for a great price!
