I have a tricky back and this year the slouchy cruiser riding position is really getting to me, even with the corbin back rest.
I used a back brace in france which helped a lot but i didn't notice the brand. I see obus forme braces in the local drug store but the sizes aren't right for me and they seem a bit wimpy.
Any suggestions? I'm a small guy, 5'9", 140 lbs.

i also have a bad back and depending on the ride i used a smaller weight lifters belt, they are firm where they need to be, just a thought.

many years ago a sport bike guy put me onto these: http://www.backaline.com/they work great and come in a range of sizes. I had to go to a larger size a few years ago as mine had strangely begun to shrink and no longer fit correctly.

Seems like it's a "Northern" thang! My guess is it's related to freeze/thaw/freeze... cycle!

I've heard good things about the Backaline - including their warranty.
