Okay, let's talk about this compression shirt. First off, I'm a 63-year-old guy who lost 60 pounds (yay me!) but ended up with loose skin and some stubborn waist fat. Enter this shirt.

The difference was INSTANT. People went from 'wow you lost weight' to 'dang, you look TRIM' – and yes, multiple people used that exact word independently. That alone made me buy more.

Fit notes: I'm 6'6", 220lbs wearing XL. It's snug (duh, it's compression wear) but the waistband doesn't choke me. Pro tip: Put it on after showering when you're completely dry – way easier. I'm team tank top version now.

Quality? After 3 weeks of regular wear: no loose threads, no weird stretching. These things hold up better than my willpower at a BBQ.

Does it work? Hell yes. Everything stays where it should. I even sized down for extra compression and nothing's escaping this thing. The material feels soft but sturdy – not that weird plasticky feel some shapewear has.

Canadian tested: Worked great as an underlayer in cold weather but didn't turn me into a sweaty mess in summer. Major plus.

Not perfect though – if you're looking for belly-specific compression, this might not be your holy grail. It smooths everything overall but doesn't target just the tummy area.

Final verdict? 8.5/10. Does what it says on the tin, makes me look sharper in clothes, and hasn't fallen apart. Worth the money for sure.
