Sucks so much I would've given it five stars if it was a vacuum cleaner
This device sucks.Recently I made the misfortune of attempting that whole fitness thing, and fell off of a bicycle. When doing so, I sustained a fracture to my right shoulder. Despite what they tell you, exercise can kill.I have almost no use of my right arm, and must keep my right arm in a sling for 23 hours a day. Not an optimal situation. The sling that I received from urgent care is excellent, and I will likely go to see them again soon and snag another one (I'd like to have two since the Velcro is starting to wear on this one, and it is nice to have something to wear while I wash the other one). Since this urgent care is an hour's drive away from my house, and since there is this whole pandemic thing going on, I decided to order from Amazon. After some research I chose this device, and clearly my research was misguided. This device sucks.First of all: the strap that goes around the chest. I will readily admit I am not a small man, I have a big chest. However, the description led me to believe that this device would "fit all." I was clearly misled. The strap that goes around the chest, which from the pictures was a big selling point for me, is about large enough to go around one of my thighs. I cannot imagine an average American adult putting this device on without significant movement of the extremity that it is supposed to immobilize. I'm thankful that I am not a well endowed female. There is no quick release mechanism available for you to undo the chest strap. Your options are to pull it over your head, using your broken extremity, or to step into it and pull it up, again using your broken extremity. Fortunately, being a guy, I had plenty of duct tape and Velcro on hand. I used a Velcro cinch strap to connect the shortened chest strap to the arm pocket. That actually worked.However, the arm pocket. The arm pocket clearly is not designed for an adult in mind. Well, maybe an adult that is overly concerned with protecting his lucky charms. Other than the wee folk, the arm pocket is too short and too shallow to accept most adult arms. The very margin does foldout somewhat to encompass my hand (otherwise my forearm and wrist are hanging out), but this does not stay out for long and it is really uncomfortable when it rolls back.The arm sling itself sucks also. The arm sling, like the chest strap, does not have a quick release mechanism. Seriously, have they ever heard of Velcro? The arm sling consist of a nylon strap, which is as comfortable as the shoulder belt in your grandmother's 1980 Ford Pinto, the one that always digs into the side of your neck when she takes you on a death-defying drive to get ice cream. There is a suggestion of padding to the shoulder sling, but it sucks. It slides around as if they had lubricated it with KY in the factory. Seriously, Velcro.Overall, this product sucks. Yes, the arm pocket is breathable, but considering how little it actually covers and how much is hanging out I would expect it to be breathable. This product would be much better if it was sized appropriately for an adult. Also, it would be much better if they were to utilize Velcro, or a similar generic substitute, to allow for an individual to don and adjust this device with one hand--not too much to ask considering that it is designed to be worn by individuals with an injured arm.Regardless, I will be returning the item.

Did not fit well.
Sling was not comfortable, unable to make it fit properly, straps too short making it very tight around neck.Was lightweight and the extra padded piece was a great addition but otherwise unable to achieve a good fit.

Helps when it hurts
I have used this sling following rotator cuff surgery. It is light breathable and a great alternative to the heavy duty sling I was given post op. I use this sling with the bolster at night. It is a good size and provides support to my wrist. It is not as rigid or restrictive as I need thru the day but really has helped at night.

Comfortable and secure
After two surgeries I needed a sling that would keep my arm safe. This is a winner. Spent 6 weeks in it during the day and it’s awesome. The strap around your waist is easily adjustable and keeps your arm close and secure. The sleeve itself is made out of nice fabric that is soft and breathes.

Uncomfortable and difficult to put on
It’s difficult to find a good arm sling that fits well. Sorry to say this didn’t make the cut. Material is uncomfortable on the skin and it’s difficult to set up and put on and adjust. I had it on for about a half hour, and no matter what I did I couldn’t get it adjusted in a way that wasn’t uncomfortable.

Exactly what you need with pins and bars in your wrist.
After wrist surgery, I needed a sling that could open at the front to allow the pins through without trying to force through a sewn together opening. One does not want to put unnecessary pressure on these points. This sling makes it a breeze to put on and remove. Significantly less stressful.

Not a good fit
This was not comfortable because it's strap is too short and has zero lengenthing room. It's in the drawer!
