The Core Precision functional vest from Australian manufacturer Equmen promises at least a visual remedy. It is supposed to stabilise the torso with compression zones, counteract back pain, prevent tired muscles - and, as usual, transport sweat to the outside. Our test experience: it does indeed fit very tightly around the stomach - even if it is not too thick. Unfortunately, it does not turn a paunch into a washboard stomach. It doesn't hinder breathing and wicks sweat away from the skin well. Incidentally, it is not possible to take the shirt off again without help. Taking it off might be a better idea after all.
Sizes The vest is available in white, grey and black with short or long sleeves and sleeveless from size S to XXL.
