"The quality of the product is high, as one would expect from Professional's Choice and the price. However, it doesn't provide much support and would be very hot on a summer day. I bought it to ride in while recovering from an episode of acute back pain. My chiropractor took one feel and told me to return it and get an orthopedic brace with metal supports. That worked well, cost one-third the price, and was much more breathable."

"I acquired this same product 16 years ago and the logo on the product was no longer distinguishable. I have had multiple spine surgeries over time and this is the ONLY back support that has proven successful for me. A friend helped me decipher the logo as having a "horse" on it and that led me to finding you for a reorder so I have a spare back support. The cost is overshadowed by quality."

"I needed something to support my back and got the smallest size and it was still too large. It just did not work for my body type but did look like it would be comfortable if it had fit."

"I've had a bad back for thirty years, and i tried them all...have been using Professional Choice for twelve years and can't say enough good things about this product and the relief it brings.
It's reasonably priced, durable, and easy to maintain...I guess I could say enough good things!

"I have had my own already, so I got one for my husband, who has suffered from backaches all his life. He has a high-tech brace already, but it is difficult to put on and off. This support is easy to put on, easy to adjust, and it does relieve his backache really well. It even holds his ice-pack in place. Not sure how long it will last in good using condition, but thus far it is lasting very well against daily use."

"I got this for my husband, who has a chronic back issue. I already have mine, so I recommended this to him. This support is easy to put on, easy to adjust, and last a long time. Not the absolute best one when it comes to the back protection, but it is perhaps the 2nd best range product on the market. Also, this support creates moist heat underneath, so it works like a heat pad as well. It might be a bit too hot in summer, but for those who have serious back issues, sweaty is probably not a significant issue. For the price, durability, smart look, this is really a good product."

"With chronic low back pain I have found that heat works better than ice, so this lumbar wrap provides a small amount of support, not as much as I prefer, but it keeps my back warm so I am in less pain after riding.
A small fits me perfectly, at 5'8" and slender."

"Best brace for anyone with back problems. Hurt my back, was looking for something to help, this fit the bill! Would recommend this for anyone. Professional choice is a high quality product, and this brace is better made then most back braces you find in medical supply stores, even my doctor admired it. Great product!!"

"I am a personal trainer, so I use my back all day six days a week in addition to riding a few days a week. I use this back brace while working to help protect my back and it works! It has been too hot to wear it riding yet, but I think it will be great in the winter to keep the lumbar muscles warm and loose. I have a 27 inch waist and the smallest size fits great. It also seems to be made very well so it should last."

"Bought this to help with an old injury that is giving me problems lower back/si joint. This gives good solid support. But I did find it made me sweat-alot! I'm not sure how I'll be able to use it in hot weather. But it does feel snug and comforting."

"I had lower back surgery a few months ago and was looking for a brace that would help me continue to ride my 4 wheeler. A friend sent me this link and said he used this when he rode horses. I went on my first long ride (120 miles) last weekend with the brace and what a differance it made. I loosened it up when we stopped and took a break and a few times I forgot to tighten it back up before we took off and it didn't take long before I stopped and tightened it. It really seemed to help me, it didn't stop my back from hurting completely but at least I can still enjoy riding my 4 wheeler and be able to walk the next morning."

"I've used this brand support belt asince the 90's.
Time took it's toll and I ordered a larger one. The back condition also changed from a failed back surgery to massive bone degeneration, coupled with artristis stenosis and scolosis and spondyloisthesis. With this current situation the relief that I originaly received was not possible. To suggestions: carefullly discuss this with your doctor and realistisic expecatations.

"In reading an equitation article, it was suggested to turn the back support around to support the rib cage from collapsing and encouraging the rider to sit up. I tried this with the Professional Choice back support and it has made a significant difference in my riding seat and my overall posture, all while being very comfortable. I love it!"

"After having back problems for several months I tried the Chiropractor, which helped a little. He gave me a back support to wear which didn't really help to much. When i saw the professional choice, I thought I would give it a try because I usually really like their products. I LOVE this product. It gives me the extra support i was looking for. Since I work in the barn everyday I am constantly using my back. This is totally worth the investment. Great quality."
