AVESTON Back Support Lower Back Brace for Back Pain Relief: Thin Breathable Rigid 6 ribs Adjustable Lumbar Support Belt for Men/Women Keeps Spine Straight and Safe – Large

I don’t write a lot of reviews, but wanted to submit one here because this brace and customer service experience far exceeded my expectations for an Amazon fulfilled product. First, I purchased this brace to help support my core after injuring my lower back doing excessive yard work. I also recently gained some weight (I’m 5’11 and 190 pounds) and hoped this would flatten my stomach a bit as a secondary advantage. First Impression: The level of comfort, amount of support provided, materials used and general construction are all top-rate. I felt confident this was a good purchase immediately after opening, inspecting and wearing for the first time. Initial Quality: The brace I received had NO noticeable defects (for example: the stitching, loose strings, ripped seams, wonky construction...). Some other options at this price point just do not compare. Comfort: Comfort is fantastic. With two adjustment straps you can find the perfect fit. I wear this over tighter, light cotton or modal undershirts. I’ve yet to have any issue with skin irritation and only occasionally to I slightly readjust. Customer Support: I contacted customer support with several general questions around best-practice product use. The COMPANY FOUNDER replied within 48 hours and her level of product commitment and willingness to help was evident! She advised me that obtaining the right fit was important to achieve the most support at peak comfort. As it turned out, I initially overtightened the straps and wore the brace too often (24/7). I was also tightening the brace improperly given its design. However, had I watched and followed the online video before my first use there would have been no need to reach out to support. Video / Instructions: The video is high quality and nice and short. Here’s the gist on proper fitment: First, fit the brace comfortably without the adjustment straps loose at the sides. Ensure the brace is centered by feeling at the back. Velcro the main wide strap. Lastly, pull the side straps to your desired position for optimal support. Use the side straps to increase and decrease support as needed. (For me, once I found the right setting I very rarely felt the need to change it throughout my day). Ease of use: It took me three or four days before I felt I had mastered positioning, tightening, and speed. However, I wanted to get it just right and learn to put it on within 30-45 seconds. Mission Accomplished. Time-Saving Tip: To easily tell which side is up, make sure the brace name (mine was Aveston) is right side up. Also the main, wide strap should always Velcro with the side in your right hand over the top of the side in your left. I’m not sure if wearing it upside down would even make a difference, however. Over 8 weeks: Overtime, I became more “in tune” with not only fast and proper fitment, but also determining when to wear it and for what duration. For me (this will be different for everyone), I started off wearing the brace for too long. On a few scorching hot summer days, I did notice the brace getting a bit warm, but in-line with what one would expect from ANY such brace. Life-Hack for Icing: Due to my injury I do need to apply ice semi-regularly. I use Chattanooga’s xl ice pack for my back (the black one). The brace doubles as a fantastic ice pack strap given its width, stretch, and strong Velcro. Other Notes: The Velcro is quite strong and of high quality. Once the straps are set for the day, they will not fail. Adjusting is very easy with the side straps, which also hold strong and appear to me that they will last a long time. Conclusion: If I lost this brace, I would by the same one without looking at other available options. Most likely any issue you have will be caused by improper fitment. Call customer service if you feel it’s just not right and the owner or a rep. will write back with helpful tips, and provide individual attention. Again, A+. *If this review is 5-star with no update listed below this line, you can assume it is working well for me over the long-term. *Will update if an issue arises.

Yes, I played golf, I was a scratch golfer when I had to stop, but I did have this brace before when I played, and it helped me play for 5-6 years longer, results may vary. Honestly though, I did, and I would wear it a few hours after playing to do yard work and stuff, and it would remind me when I was trying to do something stupid. I know, right, a man trying to do something his doctor told him not to play anymore, then would throw his golf club at him after getting beaten by 4 strokes, and down $50 dollars to the patient he thought would be easy money. When I bought this one, I didn't even notice it was the same one, but I'm happy it is. I wore it doing things I shouldn't have been doing, nothing crazy, just throwing 50lb. sacks of concrete off the back of the truck, little things right, and it did remind me about my posture, very important, and not to twist when throwing, but to turn then throw, just like OSHA would tell you on a jobsite, or in training,(I taught basic safety classes for OSHA certifications). Everything was great, no more pain than normal, everyday stuff. Then the next day came. Yeah, the next day came, I put the brace on, and I didn't feel too good about it. Turns out my right hip is out of it's socket, and after lots of money and laying in a tube, I got to find out that I'm old, relatively, that I have arthritis, and I'm either getting a surgeon, (read as overpriced doctor), to scrape out a bunch of calcium that has built up in the ball joint, (yes), or I could get a new hip joint by another surgeon, see above, (no). The biggest thing to take away from this is that without this back brace, I would have kept doing stupid, but manly, stuff until I couldn't walk anymore, and then found out my real problem, and would not have had a choice in the matter. This brace not only helps you do the little things, if you're smart, but it may also let you know if you have, potentially, a bigger problem than just back issues. It's a great brace, at a great price, and it really does help people with slight to moderate back problems, and, probably most importantly, it helps you remember the basics of lifting a load, the correct way, or you can mess your back up faster the way. Buy it, it works, and I'm not one of those people who get a free one to tell you how nice it looks, smells, looks like it would work (really?), that the boxing was very nice, that it didn't get crushed in shipping, (I'll never understand that, why a box with something you can't really crush, is such a big issue if it does, or is there some underground "nice box" web site where you can sell your really "nice box", and how do I get to it.) Please note, I am not a doctor, nor have I played one on TV, cable, straight to cable, movies released overseas, or movies released in the greatest nation in the world, The United States of America, in an actual, honest to God, movie theater. Thank you and good night.

With a 37-38 waist, I ordered what I thought would be a plenty big size (38-45), and it's just big enough. The number they give is not your waist size, but your belly size! (Which it says in the listing on Amazon, to be fair). Compared to previous waist support belts I've had, this one feels pretty stiff in the vertical dimension... it doesn't contour to hips-waist-belly as much as some. This means it gives you LOTS of support, but is not as comfortable or form-fitting as other options. A matter of taste and what you need. It seems well made, the elastic is very strong, and Velcro very sticky, and everything works well.

OMG! I LOVE THIS LUMBAR SUPPORT BELT/BRACE! My Order arrived today and every since I opened it and put it on, I haven't taken it off! ♥ I feel a whole lot better walking around with it on and cooking dinner with it on, and doing laundry with it on! I'm now sitting in my bed with it on and it doesn't hurt, nor is it too small. It is very comfortable for me and my knees still hurt, but not as bad with this back belt/brace on. / I may have been using the wrong size in the past with other Lumbar support belts/braces, but this one, I ordered it in a large so it can actually wrap around my low back and waist without the struggles of pulling it together to fit comfortably and support me. I am truly impressed with this Lumbar Support Back Belt/Brace! XOXO! The support bars? also feel nice and I don't feel any pressure / poking while walking around or sitting down. WOW! WHAT A GENUINE BLESSING FOR ME THIS IIIISSSSS! I Love My Purchase; and I'm Very Happy With It! Having the right size makes a huge difference also to me. This Is Very Well Made / Constructed Too! I Love It! ♥ GOD Bless Y'all. ♥ ♥ XO

Due to my belly I measured 42. I bought a Large. This size works well for me. I use this when moving/cleaning my bed ridden mother. I had a slightly sore back so I bought this to prevent damage to my back. After watching the video on proper use, (which I suggest watching), I use this every time I need to bend or lift or aid my mother. This does not bother my stomach or belly, but that may be due to the fact that I don't wear it long. I have full mobility while wearing it and it has helped me. I have had to adjust it because I keep putting it on too high, (watch the video on how to wear this), but that is my fault. I just put it on over my clothes because I take it off shortly after I am done 'working.' I have not worn for more than 20 minutes at a time. For the price I would recommend this product regardless of how often you will wear it. If you plan on using it of and on then I would highly recommend this product.

Worked well but unfortunately where it touched my skin I broke out in a terrible itchy rash rendering this unusable.

I am a new landowner and was out early one morning clearing the end of the driveway of snow for my tenets thinking how great it was that I can toss all this wet, heavy snow around and I wasn’t getting too old for this and generally feeling quite fit and strong. Three hours later I couldn’t move. So I decided that I needed to avoid this in the future and read a lot of reviews, checked out a lot of similar items and bought this. It dramatically improved my recovery from the snow shoveling smugness. I am 6’ 4” and bought the large size even though I am only a 32 pants width and I really felt like I am more of a medium width on most things, but the large fit perfectly. I could get it nice and tight and the Velcro strap overlay allows me to easily tighten everything and keeps straps held in place out of the way. Being so tall, bending over has always been hard on my back so I found myself putting this on while cleaning the house, picking up everything the cat knocked off counters and tables, wrapping presents, doing dishes and other tasks I didn’t initially intend to use this for. I am very happy to have this and it feels like one of those purchases where I didn’t know I was missing out until I had this to use. And I am getting old! Purchased December 2018 March 2020 update: the back support is in excellent shape and getting lots of use. Still a great purchase.

This belt provides very good support. The front overlapping velcro-type closure is wider than most braces and has less tendency to roll over.

رائع كخامه ولكن المقاس صغير جدا

So far really good, has relieved pain a lot and allowing healing to happen whilst still going about my daily activities. Worth trying if you’re in pain.

I unfortunately threw my back out the other day and have been in excruciating pain since. My mid-forties is tough sometimes lol Sure, I have nothing to compare this to, BUT holy smokes! This back brace will be the only one I need and its saving my life! Its quality is extremely good; made with high quality materials. Their patented design works great; offering custom fitting sizes and different tensions. Its comfort is spot-on; it relieves all tension/pain from my back, and it feels very comfortable and secure. Its cost is phenominal for the tangible item you get, which provides comfort, stability and security. This has got to be one of my best 2024 Amazon purchases that I’ve made. THANK YOU SOOOO VERY MUCH BOGDANA 🙂

I have just bought 2 more - I rely on this belt , just for walking the dog - car driving - medium work... I would be lost without this belt.. I have no idea how they fail !! So I bought 2 more - one to be kept in an under stairs cupboard until needed.. the other in my bedroom draw.. I cannot explain how this belt has changed my life.... Cheers - Peter I recently fractured my lumber spine [L1 in Dec 2025]the fracture was stable but very painful. I bought this item and consider it very effective in providing good support. It helps limit bending that cause me so much pain. I feel safer moving about and walking my dogs. I would not have the same confidence without this back support. I fully recommend

Good Quality , very happy with it
