Need help for a work binder

So I decided to come out to my manager at work, explaining to him that there will be some changes happening really soon (as work is now the only place i'm still bio female for now) and he was very understanding about it all which is a huge relief and one big step for me.
Now I just need a suitable binder for work, as my underworks 997 is really good but rather uncomfortable.

So, Here's pretty much the lowdown; I'm a size 109 cm chest and wearing a size 18 E bra for work. I have no idea what my weight is but I'm guessing its very close to, if not, over 90 kilos. I usually wear large in my Underworks, but because I'm pretty chubby, the underworks tends to fold up and cut into my back a bit. I work as a barista/waiter/cleaner/cook at a Coffee house and I have to do quite a lot of stuff, especially bending up and down (as thats a main problem i have with the underworks) and it can get very hot and sweaty while working.

I need a binder that flattens large chests with good result, breathable and not too hot (so nice and thin or close to), only binds my chest and not my stomach, doesn't hold in smells too bad and wont be affected too much if it gets a bit wet. basically sort of like a sports binder for chubby guys.
Is there any binders that fit the discription? If not, I just need a comfortable binder that flattens and only compresses the chest area.

I did some research on the tri top, and found it cuts into larger guys bellies. my belly is one of my main concerns too as i have a pretty large belly

That'll be the issue you get with almost all short binders unfortunately as they have to stop compressing around the upper belly area.

unless they are a type of binder bra, but yeah i see what you mean. I will look into the tritop still, there has been a lot of good word about them

I don't have personal experience with this one, but it seems to fit the bill for what you need. Also FWIW, I only wear tritops and have a gut, and they are still very comfortable. I even work out in my older ones.

I've got the full tank and the tri-top from Underworks. I only wear the tri-top at work because I do a lot of moving, bending, reaching, etc. I've found it only rolls up maybe an inch at most and it doesn't cause me any discomfort. One thing you could do is wear an undershirt underneath the binder. This would help with any pinching/chaffing.

I wouldn't describe myself as a bigger guy. I'm more barrel-torso'd than anything else. The only issues I've had with any of the binders I've bought (aside from that slight rollup issue) is that my shoulders don't fit well.

Ive tried an undershirt with my 997 binder, made it super comfortable but the material was sliding too much and wouldnt hold my chest in place, getting a uniboob within 5 minutes of adjusting. but I suppose Ill check out the trotop, order it later today
