First things first - putting this on feels like wrestling an anaconda. The sizing is NO joke. I followed the chart (usually wear XL) but had to size up to XXL. Even then, my wife had to help tug it over my shoulders like we were delivering a baby giraffe.

Once on? Magic. My 'COVID 20' disappears instantly. Wore it under a dress shirt to a wedding and finally didn't feel like a stuffed sausage when sitting down. The compression is firm but not suffocating - like a full-body handshake that lasts all day.

Two unexpected perks: 1) My lower back pain improved noticeably (degenerative disc sufferer here) and 2) It stays PUT. No riding up during meetings or awkward adjustments in the elevator.

Biggest surprise? Breathability. Wore it through a 90°F outdoor event expecting a sauna situation, but the moisture-wicking actually worked. Still wouldn't recommend for intense workouts though - this is more 'boardroom armor' than gym gear.

Final verdict: Worth the wrestling match to put it on. Just maybe keep scissors handy for your first try until you nail the sizing.
