Knee Brace Undersleeve for Men & Women, Leg Sleeves for for Under Brace Closed Patella Protects Skin from Abrasions and Irritations

I have torn acl and mcl plus a torn cartilage on my right knee. I have had an Ortho Tech brace since the mid 80’s. Back then they took a mold of your knee, cost over $800 for the brace and fittings. I wore out two braces skiing, scuba, skydiving and windsurfing. So now I find this one that’s super cheap lighter and feel very similarWe’ll see how it goes. But so far it looks like a quality product

It doesn't have to fit snugly. The brace keeps sock in place.Buy up in size... runs tight on thigh.

I frequently do long distance running and a lot of the time when I increase my mileage I get a little ache in my knee and I'll put a sleeve or a brace on my knee to help support it to keep it from progressing and I find that I can't wear brace for long periods of time because its so abrasive on the back of my knee so for two years now I've just kind of accepted that that was how it is supposed to be and that I'm the problem? I was so happy to find out that they sold these things because I was honestly considering trying to go to a thrift store, finding a long sleeve t-shirt that was way too big for me, and just cutting the sleeves off to put under my braces because when I would do a race and run it at full effort and throw out my knee and my knee hurts whenever it's outside of a brace I would just be so sad because I would have to choose between being able to to walk comfortably but with horrible skin irritation or to have my knee ache every time I moved around because I had to take my knee brace off. If you have sensitive skin and frequently have to rely on a knee brace or a knee sleeve to either stop any problem from forming or because you already have a knee problem then this is definitely for you!So the product itself is not terribly thick but it's not thin either I would probably say here in the Florida weather it's definitely going to cause me extreme sweating so I don't think I would be comfortable wearing this underneath pants but In shorts I think it would be okay although I do have to say that I do think you're going to need to wash this frequently because of sweat just from the material that it's made out of. I would say that if you're between sizes to size up because I was between a medium and a large and had I gone with a medium it would have been way too small for me, so I would say that this probably runs half a size too small so just size up! This has pretty good stitching and I don't see it breaking down quality wise other than if you get too small of a size and you stretch the ends too much so snap threads. There is no elastic in it but the material is slightly stretchy so do keep that in mind. There is zero slip resistant plastic on this leg sleeve so if your knee brace doesn't fit perfectly I would definitely expect it to slide around although my knee braces are all very fitted so I don't see that as a problem but don't buy this expecting any of the plastic bits on the end to keep it from slipping or to use this instead of a real brace. I am a little sad because I don't see this as a very expensive to make item so I would have been really happy had they made this a two pack instead of just sending me a single sleeve as I do think $11 is crazy extreme for what you're getting but when you're desperate you're desperate and to be honest going the cheap route of cutting sleeves off of a cotton t-shirt and trying to use that as a substitute it's kind of ugly and I'm a girl and I like looking good and the fact that this matches my knee brace is a definite plus for me. I am sad that I would either have to pay $20 to get two of these or have to hand wash this basically every few days because I currently have an injury after a 14 mile race and will likely be wearing this knee brace all the time for the foreseeable future so a little sad there.

Comfortable and makes wearing the knee brace so much more comfortable.

This is useless as a brace. Almost no compression and too thin. HOWEVER. It is excellent protection to use underneath a REAL brace. Helps protect skin from chaffing, cutting, irritation when wearing a proper brace. If there were honest with description and made it a sin protection it would be a 5. But as a brace, it should be 1 star. Got 2 extra since I still can use it.

Great item. Wearing under knee brace. Fits as stated.

I was very hopeful that this sleeve would work under my knee brace, so hopeful that I ignored the reviews that mentioned that it slid down. Bad idea.This sleeve is made of very thin material with absolutely no gripper bands or other mechanisms to aid it in staying where it's placed on your leg. The sleeve slid down my leg in the short distance between the room where I put the sleeve on and where I had left my knee brace. Absolutely useless!

Material was smooth and helped keep my brace from falling down.
