The Vita PostureFix 02-2-017 is an orthopaedic posture support vest with adjustable X-back shoulder straps and a wraparound waist section. It is designed to support the shoulders, upper back and lower back during light daily activities. It is lightweight, breathable and available in one adjustable size.
How the vest supports the shoulders and back
The PostureFix straps pass over the shoulders and cross at the back. Adjusting them changes the fit around the upper torso. The wide waist section wraps around the lower torso and fastens at the front. If your shoulders tend to drift forward while you concentrate on a screen, the feel of the straps can serve as a cue to change position.
Features for everyday use
- Adjustable X-back straps. The straps cross at the back and allow you to adjust the fit around the shoulders.
- Wide waist section with a front fastening. The wraparound section sits at the waist and can be adjusted from the front.
- Lightweight, breathable material. Designed for use at home, at a desk and during light daily activities. The vest can be worn under clothing.
What to check when trying it on
Check that the waist section fastens comfortably and that the straps sit on the shoulders without pressing into the underarms. Sit down and move your arms as you would at your desk. The fit should allow you to breathe and move comfortably.
Frequently asked questions
