ZENKEYZ Shoulder Brace for Men and Women - Black S M - Adjustable Neoprene Compression Sleeve with Cold

One of the only ones I could find in 3X for my husband. Fit perfectly. Very good quality. Supported his bad shoulder and helped alleviate some of the pain. Read more

I bought this brace because I have a paralyzed shoulder from a stroke and have serious subluxation constantly and over the past 20 years I can’t even tell you the number of braces this one is the very best it’s a little tougher to get on, but I can manage it quite well and that says something give it a try if you’re having any problems with the shoulder subluxation it really works Maggie Read more

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!

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.

Tried another brand and that was a bust. For this one, you don't actually have to be a male athlete with perfect physic. This brace actually fits a smaller woman. 5'4" and 135 it fits. I got gray S/M. Do need someone to help get it right the first time around, but after that you can put it on yourself. One thing I did notice, if you put it exactly right to sit in place where you need it, the strap around needs to go right under the armpit and that makes it somewhat uncomfortable on the skin. I put a soft cloth on top of the strap in that place and all is well. Very comfortable and it doesn't allow me to put my arm in position where it hurst. Considering in how much pain there is, that is a great thing. I greatly recommend it. Read more

I was so disappointed with this product! I'm suffering with either bicep tendinitis or rotator cuff tendinitis; not sure. I did measure myself according to the chart; it said I needed a large, but it was so big that neither I nor my physical therapist could tighten it enough to allow it to properly support my shoulder. Definitely buy a size down, and you will need someone else to help you put this on. I don't think it's possible to put this on alone. The Velcro straps are not user-friendly, especially for someone with an injured shoulder. I'm already having trouble reaching behind my back, and it was nearly impossible to get this thing on.
