A back support device for supporting a lower back of a user may include an elastic strap, a first clasping element attached to a first end of the elastic strap, a second clasping element slidably disposed over the elastic strap and configured to releasably engage the first clasping element to form a continuous loop, and a buckle element secured to a second end of the elastic strap. The buckle element is slidably disposed on a medial portion of the elastic strap for adjusting a perimeter length of the continuous loop. The continuous loop is movable between a first position in which the continuous loop has a first perimeter length and a second position in which the continuous loop has a second perimeter length via elastic elongation. The first perimeter length is less than the second perimeter length.

A terminal or coupling portion at the end of an elongated strap member is configured with a plurality of apertures to adjust the overall strap length by engaging in a mating connector. The mating connector is configured to reveal an external marking of size or dimensions that is externally visible adjacent each aperture when the connector and elongated strap are engaged. In preferred embodiments the terminal or coupling portion of the strap is constructed of a laminated material elastic member to provided suitable pliability to engage the mating connector but with a fabric covering bonded to opposing side to be resilient to eventual tearing or damage from adjustment or use.
