"Best purchase I made! I have been told not to get this because they did not see the value of it. I first started noticing that I needed to keep my shoulders back with riding but I even found myself needing it at work. And it wasn't that I REALLY wasn't putting my shoulders back but that I was putting them back WRONG! INSTANT RELIEF of back pain! I was so glad that I got this! I gradually worked myself to wearing it 6 hours a day so far to get my muscles use to it and hopefully train them to not need it soon! Really helped correcting it though. Would recommend wearing a t-shirt underneath it!"

"I tried wearing this over my shirt once while riding (it was a 1 hour jumping lesson) and I did think it helped keep my shoulders back, however, it rubbed my underarms raw. I still use it occasionally when I'm sitting at my desk to remind me not to slouch, but it's not comfortable enough for moving around in."

"I spend most of my time hunched over a computer at work. This has led to a general decline in my posture, which unfortunately carries over into my riding - basically, I've developed the bad habit of rounding my shoulders forward, and it actually hurts to roll them back and down. On a friend's advice, I bought the shouldersback lite, to help correct my posture at work and thus correct my riding posture. I'm glad I got it. When I am wearing it, it serves as a constant "reminder" to correct my posture. I don't know how people can ride in it, given it does intentionally inhibit your range of motion which i think would be uncomfortable in the saddle, but to each his/her own! Be sure to gradually adjust the length of time you are wearing it and the traction applied to your shoulders as too much too soon can make you very sore! Also, it is not meant to be worn next to the skin and will chafe. I wear it over a very thin t-shirt and under the rest of my clothes, and it is invisible. Granted, it is winter here in Ohio so we are all bundled up against the cold...so I may have to rethink the layer idea come summertime!"

"While this does help with my posture problem, the fit to the armpits does hurt. If I where it on top of a shirt it is better, however I would like to wear it under my clothes so that I can wear it more often."

"I wear this gadget nearly every time I ride, especially when I'm jumping. I have a terrible tendency to round my shoulders over a fence. My ShouldersBack does help, but I think you also have to be conscious of your position. I wish it were a bit more rigid to perfect my posture even more.
I've washed and even dried this thing; it's really durable. I did have to trim the straps because they were too long. And I do wish I had ordered the black version. The velcro straps absorb all sorts of animal hairs! Yay."

"The overall quality of this product is excellent. Maybe I should have gotten a size smaller? I was expecting more of a forced action to keep my shoulders back. I felt like i could still still round if I wanted to. The material is lightweight and comfy! I would recommend this product, but be careful of the size you buy."

"I bought this because i work at a computer all day and find it really hard to keep my shoulders back. I got it in white to keep me cooler during the hot summers. It does it's job, but it's not a miracle worker by any means. Defiantly need to wear it over a shirt to itchy to wear next to the skin. I would never buy the regular one. Get the lite version even for winter use since you need a camisole on under it anyway. The lite is pretty breathable and when I ride I forget it's on, which I feel like it should be pulling more on my shoulders. It does adjust under the bust and across the shoulders, but it can only do so much. Perfect practice makes perfect not artificial aides. I have hand washed it a bunch since its white it shows all the dirt so far it holds up well to hand washing. I think it's a little expensive for what it does and the comfort level."

"it's not a substitute for being fit, but it really does help! the best thing is that my shoulders are back, my posture is better, without forcing it to happen, so my muscles are relaxed, as they would be if i were simply more fit or naturally upright. definitely helps learn the "muscle memory", and without it, i can more easily relax into a better posture. i do wear it over a thin undershirt, and it feels fine. was a little awkward to put on the first time, but then i got the hang of it, and it's easy. the label goes on the outside, which might confuse some at first. i think it's great, and am glad i got it."

"With 3 thoracic compression fractures and from the advice of my physical therapist, I purchased this item for the purpose of helping to improve my posture. This support helps to remind me to stand up straight and roll my shoulders back, thus helping to relieve some of my pain. As recommended in other reviews, I must wear this over a light T-shirt to avoid the straps rubbing on my shoulders. Hopefully, I will be back in the saddle soon."

"I agree with the prior positive reviews of this item.
It is now a part of my everyday riding gear. For this reason, I don't think the price is too bad for something that works. I am a tall adult with a thin frame, and I found the only minus to be the lack of velcro (it should have more). After positioning the straps- I had extra material left over that doesn't stay as flat as it should. With the colder weather, I found a silk shirt works perfectly underneath it."

"Was not really sure how this product would work but I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly suprised! It really does remind you to keep your shoulders back and it is so lightweight that you can easily wear it under shirts comfortably. Would recommend if you have an issue with rounding your back and hunching your shoulders. This gentle reminder will help."

"This product will definately change the position of your shoulders. I would give a word of caution to the adults like myself out there...you know whose shoulders may be tight due to stresses over the years....I put it on the first day and pulled it nice and tight and man, did it work...only it caused me to overcompensate and I pulled a muscle in my back pretty good! User error though not the product, be smarter than myself!! The material is a little scratchy, as other reviews have stated, given the price point of the product and all the "equifit technology" this was a little disappointing. That being said the product does definately work...though pricey."

"Once you get used to putting it on correctly it makes an incredible difference in posture of shoulders which affects the back, hips, and core of the rider. I had a broken back and neck injury. scoliosis, and spinal stenosis and am pretty much in pain constantly however when using this brace everything is lined up correctly and actually stops the pain when on in everyday activities as well as riding. well worth the price if you want something that really works! I wear it all day whether riding or not and it also centers you in the saddle. Excellent product may want to wear over a thin t shirt at first for comfort..also trains you to be aware of your posture when not in use."

"The shoulders back does what it says--keeps your shoulders back. It is best to wear over a light shirt as the velcro can rub a bit. Overall however, it is comfortable."
