I am a 30 y/o male and I had my knees reconstructed twice in my freshman/sophomore years of high school. Needless to say, I have had quite a few knee braces over the years. I have a hereditary disorder where the knees are just getting worse each year. I still try to stay as active as I can while the knees hold out. This one is by far my favorite! I have been using them exclusively for almost a year and a half.Con: the only downside is I would not bring them hiking (mountain) personally. When I took them up quandary in Colorado (winter ascent) they slid down like all braces will and with all the other gear i had on I could not get to them to reposition them. End result was the hinge ended up below my knee adding extra resistance to each step and tiring me out a bit more. In the year and a half, this is the only time that this has happened.Pro: the sleeves keep thentypical smells at bay and make it easy to clean and wash. They can be worn with or without. I like the sleeve because it helps push out the low level of swelling I almost alway have.There is no material behind you knee. With most other braces, even the thickness of the neoprene forces your knee joint apart when fully flexed, thus straining the internal ligaments. For me, that is incredibly painful. This brace allows me to complete flex without pain.After with climbing issue, i was weary I would have similar issues skiing. I put one brace on and took the other off while skiing. Less then half way through the first day we returned so I could put the other brace on. The stability and control that this brace gave me was amazing. I would never go without it. 3 days and absolutely no pain. I am new and fell a lot! There was no slipping and sliding around and they dried out very quickly.After a long day of running or strenuous activity, I just put these on and it is like instant relief. Instead of days of pain, it feels like something has taken all the pressure off my joints. I typically will get a couple of pops (I just have that bad of knees) and they are better by the next day. These braces help proper alignment and tracking after the muscles and ligaments pull the joint out of wack.Walking up and down stairs is almost painless when they are on.Additional notes: I saw some complaints about the fit and comfort. You will have to spend some time to get it right. They come with little wedges that you place inside the brace to help it contour to you individual knee and leg. That is actually something I prefer. I wore them around the house for about 10-20 minutes playing with where the different pressures were. After about an hour I had both dialed in pretty well and have not touched the adjustments since. Now, I just put them on, sinch them down and go. 5 seconds and I can (and have) slept in them.

My doctor wanted me to find an affordable knee brace, he gave me a list of things to consider before buying one and said Amazon would be cheaper than a medical supply store. I have partial tear of the ACL, MCL, and PCL and a list of other knee problems. This brace has been a miracle for me, I'm able to walk and bend my knee without the fear of my knee going out on me.This brace has been a miracle for me, I'm able to walk and bend my knee without the fear of my knee going out on me.

Sized and worn as directed I've wanted to like this brace for helping me recover from a sports injury to my left MCL. Out of the box I find the design and quality of materials exceptional, and the fit as if it were tailor made for my leg. I quickly discovered no need to over tighten the straps as when worn with the sleeve it stays put even when I'm active. However, use of the accompanying compression sleeve on me has a tourniquet effect constructing the flow of soft tissue fluids in my calf; creating an edema of banding and bulging flesh. This suggests to me that although the brace is sized correctly the accompanying sized compression sleeve is not, and so sadly I've temporarily discontinued use of this otherwise spectacular knee brace. The one other point I will say is that the double hinges on this brace are sturdy and reliable, and align perfectly with my knee joint. No concern of wearing a hole in my outer garment. A limiting screw, if there were one, would serve this product well to guard against any momentary hyper extension of the knee. Finally, I will add that the open back design and thoughtful placement of the straps insures minimal discomfort or digging into the tendons behind the knee, provided of course that you refrain from unnecessary over tightening of the straps. Seems the trouble I've encountered with use of the accompanying size sleeve has to do with its elastic cuff. Use of a compression sleeve without that feature will likely not have the adverse tourniquet effect on me. I like the brace enough to purchase a differently designed sleeve from another manufacturer--one without the banded elastic cuffs.

My knees are a disaster. I've got arthritis in both, and blew out my patella tendon a couple years ago. As a result of the surgery, my knee has a large growth of scar tissue on the inside (drilling into the bone). The neoprene braces don't fit because of this, and a custom brace goes for $1000 or more.Well, this does the trick. It keeps my knee stable, and fits well, without the massive cost. It's light, comfortable, comes with extra pads so you can make it more custom, and the sleeve to wear under it makes it even more comfortable.I'm planning on getting at least one more, just in case something happens to this one.

Greatest brace I have ever purchased. After my mcl repair surgery, my knee would give out on me at the worst times. I purchased this brace after extensive research on something to help with stability in my runs, biking or working out. Not only does it offer great stability but it offers the most mobility with a maximum performance brace! Highly ecstatic about this purchase! I even bought my husband one for his knee injury. I will continue to purchase this brace once this one does finally give out. But I don’t expect it any time soon. Such a great quality and a great design. It’s not heavy at all. I am 5’2 at 110pounds and size was a xs and a perfect fit! Worth the money!

Made for skinny knee joints and fat thighs. Does not fit a slim legged person. Size small, I'm 5`11“ and 160lbs.When adjusting the strap to securely grab my thigh, the knee hinges will start crushing into the sides of my knee while standing. When loosened to stop the knee crushing, it then allows my knee to hyper extend, which is a major issue for me.I measured my knee properly and it's still a poor fit. I couldn't get it to fit with the provided spacers either. It seems as if it's molded in the wrong shape. I was looking for something to help me stay active, I find it's poor for kneeling or bending and poor for standing. It can pinch the skin at the back of your leg and cuts into your shin bone if you bend your knee too far.Not recommended except for the lucky people that it fits.

Producto rechazado en mi compra del 1° de enero de 2019 (tarjeta de crédito). De cualquier forma fue cargado. Al día siguiente lo solicité con otro vendedor y con otra tarjeta de crédito; en esta ocasión la transacción fue autorizada. En esta segunda compra, también hubo la necesidad de regresar el producto porque:Dolor intenso en peronée, el material haciendo presión muy intensa, que al término de 15 minutos, el dolor fue insoportable.

I have worn the brace a few times to play hockey. I tore my ACL last April. The brace has been excellent. It’s very comfortable under my equipment and knee feels great while I’m playing.

Does take some of the strain off your knee, I found that the hinge put some pressure onto my MCL which was a little uncomfortable. Was able to wear for a few hours. Bulky and can only be worn with baggy pants or shorts.

Excellent brace. Light and well made. Perfect support for my knee injury (ruptured knee cap tendon)
