Piano music presents an exception, but this is rarely what people think of as a bassy genre. Me and my wife, who is disabled and bed bound. They are the perfect fit where I don?t get blisters from rubbing and the soles are flexible but tough so I can grip but not feel anything sharp. Thanks Amazon & Balabead! Has lots of give. If you prefer a bigger more roomier hoodie or sweatshirt these are perfect! I actually used this on top of my desk so I could have a standing desk station and it?s perfect- super sturdy! the straps and the material worked just as they should have. The size two fit better everywhere but a little snug at the waist. This may have to do with where I installed it.
