Review: Pretty good brace! - As braces go, this ones pretty danged good. I had surgery on a meniscus tear 35 years ago and was recently on a vacation that involved a lot of stairs. Needless to say, my knee was not happy. The last brace I got from the doctor was too small and smelled terrible, so I decided to try my luck here. I was worried because the sizing is based on joint size, not leg circumference, and, because I'm overweight, I tend to have issues with the thigh part being too tight. For reference, my joint measures 16.5" and 4" above my knee is about 22". I'm happy to say that, although the brace is a bit snug, it's not painful. It fits pretty well, and the pain is gone. I have now ordered the XXL size so that I have something a bit more comfortable to wear around the house, but this XL is going to be great for walks. I am not at all disappointed. I also love the extra support the criss cross straps above and below the knee cap give. My knee cap is the most painful, and with this thing on, it's finally quiet.
Review: Your knees will feel em-braced in support, be careful if you're close to a larger size. - I've been using the brace a few weeks at this point. A little back story, I tore my ACL 7 years ago, and had it replaced less than a year ago. So I just got released back to normal activity a few months ago and am now back doing martial arts 2-3 days a week. I was looking for something to provide a little protection and piece of mind. Overall it seems to do a good job for a neoprene brace. It's a bit longer than some of the other braces I've had in the past, and I like that about this one. The crossing elastic does a good job providing compression in the right areas. The images don't show it well but the 4 crossing straps are velcro-ed under the top and bottom securing strap. This does seem to be a good thing as it can help control how you want the compression just above and below the knee. When wearing this I hardly notice it's there. Sure, it's a little bit of bulk, but it doesn't bulge, the velcro so far seems to be the best I've seen on a brace and hasn't caught or poked once. It stays put through all sorts of activities. Even after a solid workout it still feels sturdy and ready for another round. The one downside I can say might the sizing, I ordered the large, measured my knee and even my calf to make sure it wouldn't get hung up. I ended up with 16 for the whole area I thought the brace would cover. It fits but is definitely providing compression. Is it too much, I can't really say. I can get the brace on ok most days with a quick tug, but getting it off can be difficult. Had my knee been any larger I would definitely need the XL. I'm considering purchasing a second one for the other knee and I may get the XL instead and compare the two before deciding what to do. I'm sort of hoping the neoprene will wear in a little, but so far it's still going strong, and seems very sturdy. Also, this is still a neoprene brace, it probably won't protect you from a hard hit or twist, but hopefully it'll help with the everyday stuff. The side supports don't seem to really add much bulk, but they don't seem to add much support either. I've had others with the flexible supports and they seemed to at least be more noticeable how they added to the knee. Though, it's difficult to tell. As far as a neoprene knee brace this has been the best one I've tried so far (7-8). This kind of brace might be overboard for someone who hasn't had any kind of knee issues, or someone doing lighter sports. Though if you've had issues, or are worried about issues, this might be a good brace for you.
