Decent zipper or clasp binder?

[Malachite000]

Kept writing out too much, so here's the rewritten basics:

Size it needs to fit is roughly 33~34" circumference
Height that is  "tri-top" size or smaller, cannot be full body
Needs to have a clasp or zipper (no velcro)
Hopefully with quality that will last every day use for a few months

--------------------------------

Long version:

I've been using these really cheapo clasp binders from china. They wear out to the point it shows within 2 weeks (of daily use) and they become useless after 3 weeks.
I would like to find something that will last a long while.

Bonus if it does not break the bank, but I'm in a situation where it takes too long to order the ones from china, and due to my living arrangements, i'm never in one location long enough for the shipping (which tends to be 3 to 8 weeks) so my only real option is to try to order something from a company in the US.

Loveboat has decent binders (of course, they may actually break the bank, depending on your particular bank). I have only used the AirMax long pullover. I did not find it hard to get out of, but the sizing is strange. I don't care for their zippers.

The Manzip from Mansculpting has gotten better reviews than the original no zipper variety.

I believe underworks has a zip front binder. It's in the post-surgical gear, but they say it'll work the same as their regular binders.

i really like model 801 from t-kingdom. my chest is a little bigger than yours and i have a large. it binds well, is comfortable, and i unzip it in the car. one lasts around 6-8 months, with every day use.

I have an airmax binder from lesloveboat. It's a little on the expensive side, but I love it because it's a lot easier to breathe in than my undeworks binders and binds just as well. It does ship from somewhere in asia (thailand I think? I can't remember) but I ordered it off amazon so I think it came from somewhere else.

it's from taiwan!

also, if you guys are going to order from lesloveboat (or any based in china) make sure that you get the right size. shipping it back is around $200 without tax... apparently it's really hard to send stuff back. i was never able to, so i'm just waiting to give them away.

Well, at least I was close. And yeah, the sizing tends to be a little bit different for asian companies, so make sure to measure yourself. I'm a medium in underworks, but I had to get a large for this one.

I never tried to ship back, $20 maybe, but $200!!

my mom offered to ship them back for me, but didn't do it because it was $170ish before tax... this was per package and i had two different places to ship to
