Vital Salveo Knee Sleeve-Knee Brace C3-COMFORT for Joint Pain Relief, Germanium and Charcoal Yarn Circulation For Men and Women (1 Pair)-Large

Have suffered with knee pain for a while now due to wear and tear. I have two dogs and I think walking as much as I do with them only aggravates the problem.Over the years I have tried dozens of different knee supports and nothing has made a difference until now. This knee support is the most comfortable I have used and gives my knee the right amount of support when walking. It is so easy to put on and so comfortable to wear that after a while you forget it’s on. Gives my knee the exact amount of support it needs but if you have severe problems and need more rigid support this might not be for you. Five stars from me for comfort, pain relief and a reasonable price for such extremely good quality brace.

Like the material very comfortable and gives extra support to front and back of the knee

The ‘Vital Salveo’ Knee Sleeve Knee Brace C3 is produced with 3D knit technology using special germanium and bamboo charcoal fibre that increases circulation and relieves pain improving the quality of life. It provides excellent compression support, relieves pain in joints and aids injury recovery. It’s ideal for wearing when participating in sports and can also be worn for normal daily wear including when sleeping. I have osteoarthritis in my knee which regularly causes pain and although I’ve tried similar knee sleeves they’ve always been too tight. The ‘Vital Salveo’ sleeve is made of a thick good quality material that allows me to bend my knee and is very comfortable to wear. They’re made of 20% polyester, 45% cotton + nylon, and 35% Lycra spandex, and as there are two in each pack I can wear one while the second is being hand-washed. They give my knee the support needed and I forget I’m wearing it.

This review is for the Vital Salveo Knee Sleeve-Knee Brace C3-COMFORT for Joint Pain Relief, Germanium and Charcoal Yarn Circulation For Men and Women (1 Pair)-Medium (M)£33.80 at the time of review.‘3D knit technology’?‘… special yarn with Germanium and Bamboo Charcoal(carbon) that release far-infrared rays …’?A small leaflet inside the box further states:‘Special ore fiberUse highly technology to extract a veryunique element from ore.It is a semiconductor metalloid in the carbon groupParts of products even add bamboo charcoalwith it to create better energy.It enhances our body health by releasing far-infrared and negative ion, brings better performance and endurance.’Far-infrared? Germanium is a metalloid but so what?It further shows two pictures of a knee, before and after, which claims the sleeve increases blood flow and raises oxygen levels. Both claims may be true, but sadly the pictures don’t show this since if there is increased blood flow, there would be increased heat, so the ‘After 20 minutes’ photo would show more red around the knee and not less.This is some pile of pseudo-science-marketing hype that is total nonsense and should not be allowed to influence potential buyers.If you do want to buy them, it is absolutely essential that you get the correct size to get the correct amount of compression, otherwise they are a waste of money.Having got the correct size, I wore them both for a couple of days and I must say they were comfortable, flexible, didn’t restrict my movements at all and my legs and knees didn’t sweat at all which they do with other sleeves.However, when I took them off, my knees were actually colder than the surrounding skin, which tells me that the blood flow hadn’t increased and had in fact decreased. I did see a reduction in the varicose veins on the leg that has them due to the compression.This marketing pseudo-science hype makes me want to give the lowest rating possible, but that isn’t really fair. They are reasonable and give reasonable support, but not great. They are also really expensive for something that probably won’t do what you need it to, so on these two factors alone, I am giving 3 stars to these sleeves. If you suffer from varicose veins around the back or sides of your knees and you have a deep purse or wallet, then this sleeves may help a little. If your knees hurt on going up and down stairs then these sleeves won[t help at all.

The 1st noticeable thing about this is it appears to be more like a sock instead of the usual bulkier wrapa round supports.Obviosuly this is much softer and very flexible, do check the measuremtns chart in the product description carefully to ensure you get the right fit for you.Doesn't slip or roll down, once in place will stay there all day, does give off a bit of heat but not sweat pouring down your legs .Thsi si just for support, it won't cure any knee pains you experience but it will ease the pain making every day activities a little gentler.Great value for money and appears very well made with good quality material and excellent workmanship.

Put them on my knees at nightthey felt great

I can't say enough good things about this product. They are nice and warm and do not fall down when you walk or sit and get up. Also, they are very comfortable. I would buy them again and would encourge my friends to try them.

I am giving this five stars because I didn’t expect this to immobilize my knee, but rather to offer some support and still be comfortable for an old knee injury I have. It’s very comfortable and it does a great job. A lot of these knee supports are very irritating to wear after a couple hours, but this one is breathable enough to wear all day. Definitely follow the sizing chart because it’s accurate, but if you’re in between sizes, I would suggest going for the smaller size. It’s “stretchy” enough to still be comfortable. This product is a great balance between support, comfortability, and mobility. Recommended.

I have MS and these supports work great. I am able to wear help all day and actually comeHome and cook dinner without my legs being super tired

The sleeve feels okay but it should be a little longer top pulled up on the thigh
