ZENKEYZ Shoulder Brace for Men & Women - Size L/XL (Chest 38-50") - Black/Copper - Copper-Infused Compression Sleeve & Rotator Cuff Support - Adjustable Strap with Ice/Heat Pocket - Sturdy Arm Sling for Joint Stability

The shoulder brace is nice. I’ve never had to use one before. It’s a little hard for me to get on by myself, but it takes practice and it’s a comfortable fit and adjustable for under or over a shirt. It definitely helps support my shoulder so I can heal whatever I pulled. It’s very well made and reasonably priced.

I have severe arthritis and large bone spurs on my right shoulder, and though I work out intensely (boxing and dance flow) 5 days a week, I originally thought the pain was from injury—not realizing it was just my body reacting. I bought this shoulder brace (and another to compare), and this one quickly became my favorite. It’s low-profile enough to wear under clothes—unless you use the ice pack, which adds some bulk. For me, the best fit is with the strap worn under the bust, not above, to avoid underarm discomfort. That seems to vary by body type, but it's not a dealbreaker. I use this brace during workouts, paired with my compression sleeves, and it's been a total game changer. My pain used to be an 11 out of 10—especially at night when it throbbed at an 8. With the shoulder brace and sleeves, I’m down to nearly pain-free, even while training. I wear THX sleeves during the day (tighter fit) and Incrediwear sleeves while working out (less tight, more mobility), and I take them off at night since wearing either overnight caused some hand swelling. Still, I stay mostly pain-free overnight thanks to daytime shoulder brace support. I plan to buy two more shoulder braces—two for daily wear under clothing (Im going to see if I can wear on both shoulders same time) and one just for workouts. Cons: The ice/hot pack is awkward, sticks out, moves around, doesn’t stay in place well, and really only works if you’re sitting still. I also wish the arm portion extended further down the bicep for added support—but that’s just preference. Overall: This brace offers great value, solid support, and real relief. Highly recommend!

This shoulder brace was the best brace for my shoulder after my SLAP Tear surgery! The way it holds my should and bicep in place gives so much relief during the healing process. I am actually multiple years out from my surgery but still use this brace when I feel the residual effects of my surgery's aftermath. I highly recommend this brace!

The brace came on time, serves the purpose, and is easy to use so the functionality is there. However, there are two major things that brought me to deduct two stars: (1) It has a bit of a strong rubber smell that sticks to my clothes even after I take it off. Luckily I'm not too sensitive to smells, but if you are you may want to reconsider getting this. (2) The brace is a bit big / awkward of a fit for smaller females like myself (5'2" and weigh about 123 lbs). I can make the straps tighter so the fit is more snug, but this causes the pad of the shoulder that the brace is on to start to hit your neck, which makes it feel like you're choking and is rather uncomfortable. I ordered the "Small, Medium, Large, X-Large" size in grey. And to be honest, the "size chart" / size labeling is rather confusing so I can't even confidently say that the other "Small/Medium" size offered would be any better. In terms of whether or not it actually helps with the pain, I have only been using it for about two days now so I don't think it would be fair to comment on its effectiveness just yet, but so far I do feel the extra support.

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.

My husband is most likely in need of rotator cuff surgery. The process to get to the surgery is long and there are weeks of wait between physicians. He ordered this brace to help with work in the mean time. It gives some good support to get him through the day.It takes some weight and pressure off of his right arm.

I am a tall 6’3” man and I am fairly big; however, my right arm was shattered 2 years ago and after 4 repair surgeries I am now able to wear a shoulder brace until I can have the shoulder replaced. I tell you this because even though I am big, my right arm is currently a tooth pick (13.5”) due to it being in casts and slings for the past 20 months. I measured and remeasured and per the instructions I was pointed to the small size - my wife even checked and she came up with the same size - well it was a mistake. (1 star taken away) The item is very, very difficult to get on by myself. It would seem that they did not really take into account that you can’t move the arm your putting it on - video after video on instructions all showed the same technique. Fasten the sleeve Velcro before you slide your arm in then get the chest strap under your good arm (my arm does not bend up under itself) and then if you succeed at that - slide the end of the strap thru the buckle (one handed) and tighten it down. If by chance the strap around bicep is not tight enough or too tight - don’t try adjusting it while it’s on you with your only working hand. Unlike the chest strap - the bicep band has no buckle. When taken apart - there is no way I could get it snug and back together with one hand (another star). Finally, over a short bit of time it rides up or twists around my chest causing gaps and even cutting into my injured arm with the bicep strap (Star) With this knowledge I purchased a different brace - one that is designed with the idea that the person putting it on has only one arm functioning to do the adjustments- that is the entire reason to get the brace - to help support a messed up shoulder that can’t be used to do fine motor skills.

It does not give the support I expected, but, it helps with the pain!
