Back support Question

[Benny]

Have any of you ever used or know anyone that uses this CLICK Simms Backsaver

[midger]

Haven't used one but have a Hodgman downstairs that somebody gave me. If you interested in trying it out let me know. I think it is a large/XL size but they are adjustable. It looks like the Simms one, but is a different color. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Nope I have never used one because I am not that "old" yet

I have one. The problem I have with it is the height in the back support area. It is to high and makes it hard to move around in tight spots with waders. If it was not as high in the back I think it would be better for movement but you then give up back support. I do not use it for that reason any more.

I have a pair of W/M guide waders that have one with them. What I have noticed about it is that my shoulders and neck aren't sore or at least as sore at the end of the day (most of my fishing days are 10-12 hour days). I think its because it forces me to have better posture.

I tried one at the store but it dug into my ribs too much when I tightened it up enough to give me some back support. I also have the Hodgeman version which is slightly shorter but still does the same to me. Note: fortunately I still have a fairly slim waist so when I tighten it, it angles up under the front of my rib cage.

I wear one of the belts like the warehouse guys wear (or anyone that does a lot of lifting). It's the one that's about 8" tall all the way around made of elastic nylon with velcro on the front to adjust the fit and a few stays in the back (I cut off the suspenders). Bought it at Home Deport. It's a little hot in the summer but like JGray said, it causes me to correct my tendency to bend over when I'm watching my drift.
