Venom Lumbar Back Brace Compression Belt - Elastic Support & Adjustable Dual Straps, Lower Back Pain, Spasm, Strain, Herniated Disc, Sciatica, Scoliosis, Disc Bulge, Lifting, Men, Women

This is too wide and need a little bit longer for update.

I initially mistakenly ordered a large brace that did not fit properly. I did my research (or so I thought) and saw someone with a 34 waist stated that it fit right. I guess I did not take into account that the winter has proven to help pack on some pounds ;) In any case, I reached out to the manufacturer and they were kind enough to allow me to keep the incorrect size and send me an XL size at no charge. This is superb customer service and not something you see often nowadays.I want to be clear that while the gesture was excellent, it alone is not why the title of this review is "wonderful product". The title is because it REALLY is a wonderful product. The brace is top notch. I could not find a brace of any type locally for the cost of this one. And, the cost of this one is more reasonable than all of the others on Amazon. It might make you think that you are sacrificing something. Absolutely not. This brace is fantastic. I threw out my back in a bad was three weeks ago, and after two days of using this I already feel better and am nearly back to normal.Right price, superb product, excellent customer service. Those three make this a clear winner if you are in the market for one of these. I will recommend Venom to everybody I know! Keep up the great work!

The size small has been perfect. I'm a 5'7" woman with a 28" waist and unstable back caused by spondylolisthesis. This belt supports my lower back comfortably and allows flexibility without bulk.Other belts ride up, no matter how I adjust them. Even with the metal inserts, they ride up so the bottom of the belt sits on my waist. Not only is this uncomfortable, but the belt actually protects the middle back instead of the lower back. Because the Venom belt stays where it starts, it protects my lower back..This is also narrower than others I've tried, an advantage for me. Because it's relatively narrow, it allows flexibility of movement. It supports without rigidity. Similar belts I've tried are over 6 wide in the front and over 8 inches in the back for the smallest size. They are just too big for my frame.My experience has been that the company is easy to work with. Both they and their product did exactly what they said. The price is competitive and the belt works well.I'm a happy customer.

I had absolutely no idea something like this could make such a profound difference in my life! Having to deal with chronic back and leg pain from years of standing in the retail profession, I was at a loss as to what I could use to alleviate effectively this ever-increasing malady.I decided to try both the Venom back and knee support braces, and I simply cannot believe how much they have helped me get through the day. It's strange, but while wearing them, I feel like I have strong hands supporting me and dispelling the pain. The braces have allowed me to breathe again at work with no discomfort and get back to a level of excellence I have not had since I was younger. I am now close to sixty.The quality is certainly there, and their customer service is unparalleled. This company stands by their products and will go above and beyond to ensure their customers are completely satisfied.If you have any issues with pain, Venom will be there for you to take care of it. They are the Rolls Royce standard of braces and support merchandise!

Surprisingly comfortable w substantial support. After wearing Home Depot and Harbor Freight belts for 10+ years, the Venom was a very nice surprise. What hooked me was the review that said other belts 'dug' in at the top and bottom. Also, that those wider belts were uncomfortable to adjacent areas. I agree. This belt isn't that much narrower (maybe .5-.75" top and bottom) but it does make a difference in comfort. Finally, the smaller secondary straps look meager but they are actually 2 straps on top of each other and provide the same if not better support.I have spondylosis of the lower back and this helps!I'm 6'1", 185lbs w/ 33-34" waist and Large fits great. Seems like large will fit 31"-36" waist in my opinion.

Works great to my surprise and I was amazed.

This is it. This belt is thick and firm and doesn't roll up. The stiffness restricts the overall elasticity some but not in a bad way, you need to make sure to get the size right though. The company seems to know about the sizing, and is very pro-active in making sure you get the right size (they sent me an email making sure my fit was right) BTW Venom Sports Fitness, mine fits great. Also, I have a heavy leather VALEO weight belt and 3 harbor freight work belts w suspenders, this belt is sort of a hybrid between the two types. it's not as stretchy as the HB belts but way firmer, it is far more flexible than the leather weight belt. It seems firm enough for weight-lifting but if you are considering it you should probably ask the seller. I'd recommend it, especially to anyone unsure about what belt style they need.
