ZENKEYZ Shoulder Brace for Women & Men, Torn Rotator Cuff Shoulder Support, Neoprene Shoulders Compression Sleeve - Injury Pain Relief Arm Sleeves for Men & Women, Left & Right (Gray, Small/Medium)

I purchased this shoulder brace for my son, who is a wrestler, and it has been a game-changer. He recently experienced some shoulder strain, and this brace provides the perfect amount of support without restricting his movement too much. The material is comfortable and breathable, so he can wear it during practice without discomfort.Adjustability is another plus—the straps allow for a secure fit, and it stays in place even during intense workouts. It also provides great compression, helping with pain relief and recovery. So far, it seems durable and well-made.Overall, this brace has given my son the confidence to continue training while protecting his shoulder. Highly recommend it for athletes dealing with shoulder issues!

Compared to the grey Sparthos brand shoulder brace, this Zenkeyz 3XL brace fits me better, is more comfortable and more heavily constructed as well. I'm a big guy, shoulder spread is about 59-60" (hard to measure by yourself), and my underarm chest is about 56-57". I am not large muscled though.Neither Sparthos brace size fit me well enough to keep. Their largest size was for much larger muscled guys than me, or just thicker people. The smaller Sparthos size was for much smaller people than me.This Zenkeys seems it was made for me, once I adjusted it. And there is a lot of room for adjustment of the arm circumference, and also chest size adjustments. The other great thing about this brace is that it is constructed of much heavier material than the Sparthos. So this one seems more supportive and secure when you put it on, and very comfortable at the same time. This is the one I kept!As far as what it can do medically for you, is hard to say without asking a doctor or physical therapist. I wear it when my shoulder starts hurting, feeling that it keeps it more stable, and also the thermal heat of the material helps it feel better too. My shoulder has problems stemming from too little cartilage left in the joint, and an incident of it popping out and causing great pain. That motivated me to find something fast that would keep it stable and feel better. This did the job, and I am wearing it now and it feels good.Once you get it adjusted, it is easy to slip on and off by yourself, once you get used to doing it, and you won't have to adjust it again, unless you feel the need for even more support at times. Feel Better!PS I just ran across this other brace that looks promising! You might like to check this one out that looks very good, with and additional bottom strap that crosses the body horizontally for more stability, the EVS Sports SB03 Shoulder Brace for another $20+ here on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/EVS-Sports-Shoulder-Brace-X-Large/dp/B007NVSWE0 I find with the Zenkeyz I am constantly pulling the diagonal strap down and re-adjusting it on the go depending on what material I wear it over. Synthetics stretch and are apt to let it slip more, than wearing these over a cotton garment. So the EVS might eliminate some of that movement with the additional lower strap it has.

After reading the mixed reviews I was hesitant to try this but decided to give it a go. I now understand the mixed reviews. I feel there are 3 different types of people who would purchase this.1) If you are someone who, when standing still (with no brace on) feels pain and you are looking for pain relief, then I don't think the brace is for you, at least not on its own, as it is simply a soft sided brace that doesn't offer much in the way of pain relief, but if you use it in conjunction with the ice/heat pad then it might help with pain.2) If you are someone looking for a product to firmly stabilize your arm and keep it from moving then I think you would be better suited with a hard/solid brace, as this one allows for flexibility of motion.3) If you are someone like me who has pain when moving the shoulder in certain positions and you are looking for the brace to be a deterent or reminder not to move the arm in that way, then this is for you.It really seems to depend what you want it for.My personal pros:Cost, Material is good quality, velcro straps hold tightly. Having the adjustable strap around the bicep is an awesome feature.Cons: As a female it is a little awkward to find a good fit around the breast area. Putting the strap in the position they have it pictured in the photo it tends to ride up and loosen. I find it easier to strap it lower with the strap resting between the breasts. It's a little more awkward but the fit is better.And living in Florida I find it very hot to wear but that isn't a negative to the product itself.Neutral: odor. many people complained about the odor. There was a slight "rubbery" odor when first taken out of the package but it went away within a few hours, even without washing it.All and all I am happy with it.

Ok product if it works for you: size, style… You must be sure it will be the right item for you because this item is non refundable. No returns on this item. It took me 2 hours to get help to resolve the issue.
