Highly Recommend, but 40 inch waist-line max.
Well I've been wearing this brace for some 5-years now, so as to protect my back during heavy lifting, and while square dancing, etc. And during that time period, it has helped me immensely, along with thankfully zero set-backs. But unfortunately, it's now looking a bit worn & shabby, so I ordered a replacement. And of course my original brace also stretched out approx. 5-inches during those 5-years, while I in turn added several inches to my waistline. The real problem being that the replacement brace doesn't fit my current 42-inch waist, even though it's range is supposed to be from 28-50 inches. Yes, I can get it on, but without being able to move or breath. But because I like this brace so-much, I decided to take a chance and I ordered the plus sized brace (50-70 inches), which unfortunately was far too large. My overall point being that if your waist-line measures in the 40-50 inch range, you really should be shopping elsewhere, just like I will be, trying to find something equivalent in quality, that also fits. No idea why Mueller doesn't offer an in between size, which they really need to.
