Okay, so I finally caved and bought this compression shirt after months of debating. As someone who spends way too much time sitting at a desk, my waistline was starting to rebel. Here's the real tea:

The zipper? Game-changer. No more wrestling with fabric like a contortionist. Just zip and go (well, after some strategic maneuvering). It does feel like putting on armor though - Batman vibes for sure.

Comfort level? Surprisingly good! The fabric breathes better than I expected. Wore it under dress shirts all day without feeling like a stuffed sausage (mostly). Did notice some redistribution of... assets... let's just say my silhouette went from snowman to slightly less round snowman.

Posture support is legit. Those steel bones actually work - caught myself sitting straighter without thinking about it. Though fair warning: getting the perfect size is tricky. I went with my usual size and it fits like a second skin (in a good way?).

Final verdict? If you're looking for subtle shaping that doesn't scream 'shapewear', this does the job. Just don't expect miracles - it's compression, not magic. But paired with actual exercise? Chef's kiss.
