ASPEN Medical Products Quikdraw PRO Back Brace with Pulley System Lower-Back and Lumbar Pain Relief for Men and Women, Breathable, Large…

Provides good support. Definitely worth the extra money for the pulley system. Good quality.

I had an older Aspen that was closer to "one size fits all", but fitting was expensive and done in a brace shop. About a year ago a moving-company packer stole it.This replacement was a lot less expensive because it comes in sizes rather than having the adjustment mechanism. So far it seems to work as well as the old one. And it has a pocket for an ice pack!

This is a very comfortable and supportive back brace. My doctor recommended an Aspen back brace to help support my lower back. I have used a different type of brace before, the one with the hard large plastic support in the back. Although it was supportive, it can become uncomfortable after a while. The Aspen back brace is both supportive and comfortable. It has a draw string system that gets the brace nice and snug. The pictures on Amazon make the brace appear to be very bulky, however, it’s not. It is light weight and is made with a breathable fabric. No sweating issues with this brace.I currently wear a size 34 inch waist pants, however, I measured 36 around my midsection. I was in between sizes so I went with the Large size. It fits great. So if your in between sizes, go larger. If you are considering a back brace, this is a good one to get. It can be worn for hours without any discomfort. I hope this review helps.

The back brace is very helpful until i can see my back doctor to get a mylogram to see what has happened to my back( i have had 3 previous surgeries). Tightening the strings takes the edge off the extreme pain I'm in so I can walk to the bath or kitchen or to my car. I wear it through out the day and evening. I even sleep with it on. It holds my back together so no further damage is done. I had a very similiar brace after I had my fusion that I wore for over a year. I loaned it out and never saw it again, probably do to the fact that this type of brace really works. Especially works really well for severe pain. If your in serious pain or need to lift heavy things or push or pull stuff this type of brace can save you doctor bills or worse yet a surgical procedure.

My husband, who recently had back surgery, got this type of back brace through the VA. I really liked the way it stays on his lower back and seems to help his pain.I was happy to see the very same back brace offered via Amazon for a good price.After receiving it, I wore it a lot for several days. It goes on easily, the Velcro pads make securing it a snap and the cords to cinch the whole brace tighter work very well. You really feel like the brace is hugging you.Sometimes I cinched it too much and at other times not enough. It is a matter of trying out what is most comfortable while doing what it is supposed to and making sure it stays where it should.The tighter you cinch it (which I do when I have more back pain) the less comfortable it will be when you sit down, but that is to be expected. This brace sure keeps me standing straight when I am moving around the house and do chores. Sitting with it does become less comfortable after a while, but maybe I should just losen it up a bit. My husband never complains about being discontent while wearing his, and he has been wearing daily for 10 weeks in a row. So somehow, I think it might be me and the fact that I am built differently.Women usually have more waist as men, which means we don't put on a brace like this one by overlapping the two ends evenly and straight but rather in a slight angle to hug our shape better. I assume that this is the reason why I personally find sitting in it less comfortable. Try it out for yourself and decide.I continue to wear it when my back pain gets worse or when I do chores around the house. It sure helps me keep a better posture, which by itself has become pretty bad over time.I have 2 other back braces and besides the usual slight discomfort when sitting with it longer, the ASPEN Quikdraw PRO Back Brace is the best product I have had so far. If the side strings for cinching it hold up and don't tear with continued use, this is undoubtedly a very good and capable back brace to try out.

Couldn't get through the day without mine. Wear them every minute of the day. Very comfortable. Ive tried lots of other braces, and only the Aspen provide required support. I've been using them for 8 years now, and have bought about 10 over that time. By doctor recommended it after back surgery. Can't say enough good about them.

This is the second belt I have bought after 2 back surgeries & much back pain, I cannot live without this.

This works great, and is easy to put on and adjust. I wish it was higher, to go from underbelly to below the breast.
