Overview

Why We Love This

The EquiFit ShouldersBack Lite™ offers the same upper back support as ShouldersBack™ in a lightweight, sheer fabric for warm seasons and climates. Designed for the equestrian, ShouldersBack™ is an all-elastic garment that helps you attain proper equitation in a safe and comfortable manner. Developed by a leading orthopedic team to help riders improve posture, it’s also worn by professional athletes, dancers, chiropractors, dental hygienists, actors, and models. With consistent use it helps retrain your mind and muscles to stay in a correct, upright position. The fabric is comfortable, breathable, and does not restrict nor hinder your movement. Because ShouldersBack™ does alter your positioning, EquiFit recommends beginning slowly and listening to your body. Slip it on for just one hour a day and, if it feels good to you, gradually increase the time to your comfort level. ShouldersBack is great for both men and women.

Made in the USA.

Care Instructions:

Hand wash, line dry.

Reviews
EquiFit ShouldersBack Lite™ is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 85.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Eh... The overall quality of this product is excellent. Maybe I should have gotten a size smaller? I was expecting more of a forced action to keep my shoulders back. I felt like i could still still round if I wanted to. The material is lightweight and comfy! I would recommend this product, but be careful of the size you buy.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Useful but itchy I bought this because i work at a computer all day and find it really hard to keep my shoulders back. I got it in white to keep me cooler during the hot summers. It does it's job, but it's not a miracle worker by any means. Defiantly need to wear it over a shirt to itchy to wear next to the skin. I would never buy the regular one. Get the lite version even for winter use since you need a camisole on under it anyway. The lite is pretty breathable and when I ride I forget it's on, which I feel like it should be pulling more on my shoulders. It does adjust under the bust and across the shoulders, but it can only do so much. Perfect practice makes perfect not artificial aides. I have hand washed it a bunch since its white it shows all the dirt so far it holds up well to hand washing. I think it's a little expensive for what it does and the comfort level.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great help for hunter princess this item is just like advertised. it really helps rider's posture & imperceptible under a jacket. it's a little lighter for summer shows. we've run it through the washing machine and it was fine (rider does still sweat!)
Date published: 2012-07-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by from very helpful it's not a substitute for being fit, but it really does help! the best thing is that my shoulders are back, my posture is better, without forcing it to happen, so my muscles are relaxed, as they would be if i were simply more fit or naturally upright. definitely helps learn the "muscle memory", and without it, i can more easily relax into a better posture. i do wear it over a thin undershirt, and it feels fine. was a little awkward to put on the first time, but then i got the hang of it, and it's easy. the label goes on the outside, which might confuse some at first. i think it's great, and am glad i got it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wise Buy! With 3 thoracic compression fractures and from the advice of my physical therapist, I purchased this item for the purpose of helping to improve my posture. This support helps to remind me to stand up straight and roll my shoulders back, thus helping to relieve some of my pain. As recommended in other reviews, I must wear this over a light T-shirt to avoid the straps rubbing on my shoulders. Hopefully, I will be back in the saddle soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works wonders I have osteoprosis and the shoulders back really gives me the help to keep my shoulders in a better position when riding and I very often wear it even when I am not riding.
Date published: 2012-02-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfy I've tried another version of this product and found it uncomfortable. This lightweight version is easier to convince myself to wear. Easy to adjust and apply.
Date published: 2012-02-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the Price I agree with the prior positive reviews of this item. It is now a part of my everyday riding gear. For this reason, I don't think the price is too bad for something that works. I am a tall adult with a thin frame, and I found the only minus to be the lack of velcro (it should have more). After positioning the straps- I had extra material left over that doesn't stay as flat as it should. With the colder weather, I found a silk shirt works perfectly underneath it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Help for Posture The shoulders back really has made a difference for me. It does not force your shoulders back; it simply helps create new, healthier muscle memory.
Date published: 2011-10-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Light weight and WORKS! Was not really sure how this product would work but I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly suprised! It really does remind you to keep your shoulders back and it is so lightweight that you can easily wear it under shirts comfortably. Would recommend if you have an issue with rounding your back and hunching your shoulders. This gentle reminder will help.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Mixed feelings This product will definately change the position of your shoulders. I would give a word of caution to the adults like myself out there...you know whose shoulders may be tight due to stresses over the years....I put it on the first day and pulled it nice and tight and man, did it work...only it caused me to overcompensate and I pulled a muscle in my back pretty good! User error though not the product, be smarter than myself!! The material is a little scratchy, as other reviews have stated, given the price point of the product and all the "equifit technology" this was a little disappointing. That being said the product does definately work...though pricey.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good purchase Just received the shoulders back but could feel a difference on the first ride. My trainer also felt it made a difference in my posture.
Date published: 2011-08-17
Rated 3 out of 5 by from SHOULDER BRACE Difficult to put on. Straps roll very easily. Not really too impressed. I suppose it will do the job.
Date published: 2011-08-16
Rated 5 out of 5 by from shoulders back lite Once you get used to putting it on correctly it makes an incredible difference in posture of shoulders which affects the back, hips, and core of the rider. I had a broken back and neck injury. scoliosis, and spinal stenosis and am pretty much in pain constantly however when using this brace everything is lined up correctly and actually stops the pain when on in everyday activities as well as riding. well worth the price if you want something that really works! I wear it all day whether riding or not and it also centers you in the saddle. Excellent product may want to wear over a thin t shirt at first for comfort..also trains you to be aware of your posture when not in use.
Date published: 2011-07-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good buy The shoulders back does what it says--keeps your shoulders back. It is best to wear over a light shirt as the velcro can rub a bit. Overall however, it is comfortable.
Date published: 2011-07-06
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Save your money I personally did not like this product. I thought that it did make my shoulders go back, but I would not use this as a crutch. I would recommend taking the $50 and investing that with a good equitation instructor.
Date published: 2011-07-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Seems to do the trick! My 16 year-odl daughter needed to improve her posture before show season. She feels more confident and her trainer sees improvement.
Date published: 2011-03-31
Rated 4 out of 5 by from It works! This product works as advertised, my riding instructor is definitely very happy with my better posture! The only thing I don't like is the price. There's really not much to it and I'm not sure what exactly warrants the $50 price tag. But, I guess it's worth it to ride better.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from useful tool I thought the EquiFit Shoulders Back product was good; made well; does place shoulders back and helps you sit more erect; found it made me stick out my bum more so need to find happy medium. I was collapsing my shoulders as I got tired so it is aiding my posture; was a little more expensive than I would have liked to pay but luckily I had a coupon so that helped; should hold up; seems well designed and of good quality.
Date published: 2010-12-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works very well I have such a hard time keeping my shoulders back when I ride and never thought they were as bad as my trainer said until I saw some pictures. It was terrible! I got three of these shoulders back and now my shoulders stay where they belong. I also wear it to work as well in the mornings to really train my shoulders to stay put. Exellent product, but a little expensive.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Help When I was younger my posture was great- but as an older rider I was constantly arguing with my trainer about the position of my shoulders. They felt back to me! With this nifty tool, I did not have to think about my shoulders anymore- a new sense of normal was established and the benefits continued after taking it off. I use it periodically now and think it has had a positive effect on my riding and my general posture. I am very glad I tried it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shoulders Back Lite No more droopy shoulders for us! Fits nicely under a show shirt and jacket as well. Comfortable even in the heat. Very pleased and it arrived just in time, as promised.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for back problems! Been seeing a PT for back pain for long drives hauling the horse around. Started wearing the shoulders back and can now drive for hours with no back pain.
Date published: 2010-07-26
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very Helpful I began riding when 7 years old, and have always sat very straight and comfortable on a horse. However, in my later years, I'm in my 70's now, I have tended to allow my shoulders to slump, and it causes discomfort and some back pain. So I thought I would try this product to help me regain my more upright back position on -- and off -- the horses. I have been wearing it around the house and to care for my horses, as well as when I'm riding. It really helps keep my shoulders back and I'm more comfortable. It also helps remind me to keep my shoulders back when I'm not wearing it! Thanks for developing this product. I hope it will help younger people keep from allowing their shoulders to slump when they get older.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from works great I used it in a horse show and I can think about other things not my postioning for it made me set up straight and not slouch works well for me thanks

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Helps my riding but .... This brace could be a little better made for the price. I think for the quality of the product it is a little expensive. However, I must say it really has helped me maintain my posture in my Dressage lessons.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst Purchase Ever This product I feel does not work at all it doesn't pull back in the slightest.
Date published: 2010-06-28
Rated 4 out of 5 by from EquiFit Shoulders Back LIte I am happy with the product. If you want to use under clothing, must protect underarm from chaffing. I did get reminded to sit up and pull my shoulders back. good reminder.
Date published: 2010-05-23
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well made effective product. Very effective- the light version doesn't get too hot. Best over a shirt or it rubs but it does what it says.
Date published: 2010-04-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from An Absolute Must Have After spending too much time at a computer, I had adopted a somewhat forward shoulder posture, and shoulder pain. I also was twisting one shoulder more forward than the other when riding and my horse was reacting poorly to it. During the first ride I felt like this product "called me out" on some habits I was not aware I had. You can certainly still move in it, but if you get out of position you can feel the brace, which has been a great reminder to me to correct my posture in the saddle. It also helped me to anchor my elbows so I could offer a more steady contact to my horse. I have worn it both under and over a shirt and it has been comfortable. I recommend this for anyone who wants to improve their posture both in the saddle and out!
