When I first tried on the Men’s Pro-Grade Short Sleeve Shoulder Support Shirt, I thought that it was too small. It is very form fitting, however once I realized that the purpose was to help support the shoulders, then it all made sense why it was tight. I work in a profession that requires a lot of movement with the upper body. I thought that the tightness might constrict me, but it was actually comfortable. Usually by the end of the day I have soreness and fatigue in the neck and shoulders, which necessitates the taking of pain medication. When I started to wear the shirt, I immediately realized that I was no longer needing to take the medication, and my shoulders and neck were not as sore. My wife also commented how good my posture looks in the shirt. It has helped to keep my shoulders and neck aligned properly. I was a bit skeptical at first at how much this could help me, but after testing it out I am a firm believer that it has helped in my situation. I loved the results so much that I ordered 3 more.
I really like the fit of the shirt. It is not overly tight like several base layers/compression shirts I have from other brands. The shirt is shaped nicely and is quite comfortable once you get used to the extra supportive seams. Anti-odor works like charm after light workouts. Most of all, I didn't need a cold pack or shoulder massage with this short on.
Although this shirt wasn't available in the long sleeve, my husband was satisfied with the short sleeve because of the support and comfort for his shoulders.
