McDavid Knee Compression Sleeves Men/Women, Open Patella Knee Brace, Stabilizer for Minor Arthritis, Bursitis, Tendonitis, Patellar Support, Single Unit

Very good product for knee support. High quality, and a very good fit.

Purchased mainly for compression. Provides support.

This is a very nice compression sleeve, but it didn’t work for me. The top of the sleeve fit well ,but the bottom was very tight. I really can’t complain about the sleeve as I think it is well made and provides a good compression, but for my leg it just didn’t work.

The item is incredibly comfortable and can be worn conspicuously under any kind of pants, skirts, & dresses. One can hardly feel its presence. I only use it for my most active days, since I still want the muscle to do the job on its own. The delivery by USPS left a lot to be desired; that is, they wouldn't deliver it to the door since it did not fit in my mailbox, so I had to go acquire it at the post office (15 mins. away). So, I believe I'm due for a shipping fee reimbursement.

Stays up and fits comfortably. Easy to clean

I suffered a MODERATE KNEE SPRAIN at work and that was about 7 weeks ago. I wore a McDavid double strap brace (unhinged) with an open patella design. It was pretty decent but my knee was so weak early on that it would buckle (rare but it occurred) and was quite unstable. I could not stand in one place without serious discomfort, burning or pain and I couldn't even walk around on it for more than 10 minutes per hour. When I saw the company doc they put me in a heavy duty Ossur knee brace with double straps and HINGED. If you are experiencing moderate to severe symptoms IMHO you need a brace more like this. But of course see your doctor and let them recommend one based on your individual symptoms.I initially bought this neoprene sleeve because I had a McDavid neoprene sleeve and thought it was pretty good for light knee injuries (i.e. light strains or sprains that are mostly recovered) for my good knee since we all know that when one side of our body is jacked up we routinely consciously or subconsciously change how we use the injured part and then it can lead to the other side getting a little out of whack. I tried it on my "better" knee and mostly liked it. At my follow up doctor's appointment I was advised I could try moving to this type of light protection sleeve since I had been in PT for several weeks now and done a nice job of building up strength and stability. NOTE: My appointment with an orthopedist is still pending authorization but my MRI showed a "frayed" meniscus with some tendonosis above the knee. I decided to keep this one on my "good" knee and try a new age modern gel longer sleeve on the "bad" knee. I will focus on this neoprene McDavid below but also mention some things about the other style where relevant.Here are my observations (based on using it on my "better" knee:-- I can't recall my number but I used a metal tape measure which wasn't ideal anyway. It put me clearly in the LARGE size and since I owned a similar McDavid in the past and it was a LARGE, I went with large. I bought a vinyl tape measure on Amazon along with this sleeve for easier future measuring. I am 6' 1/2" tall and I weigh 181 pounds. My build is a blend of mesomorph and ectomorph. I ran cross country in junior high and got into baseball and basketball and weight lifting (build muscle pretty easily). It fit fairly snug but I think a medium would likely have been a mistake and too tight because my quads aren't small. If I recall correctly I wasn't barely in the "large" so that is the reason for my logic.-- It is fairly appealing looking and the thickness of it provides LIGHT support with a "gentle" lean toward moderate.-- I wish it were longer as that might have helped with the slipping and sliding. As the day wore on I could feel it BUNCHING up behind my knee. I had to occasionally PULL it up on my thigh. It was fine in the calf area and stayed down. With modern "gel" sleeves I think there may be a tendency to have it shift UP off the shin (unless they have gel inserted there also). So this may be an area where it is hard to find a true winner unless you find a double gel product on the top and bottom.-- In spite of looking fairly tight I think it is only natural with walking and movement for these to move some. It is inevitable. I think the more modern design longer sleeves have a better design idea because they are longer and they often have gel in the top portion so they slide less.-- It is comfortable when it isn't bunching up but then it is mildly annoying when it gets looser as the day wears on and it bunches up moreAll in all, it's pretty decent but I'm thinking I may be in between sizes with this company for an ideal fit. And I am already seeing why most companies have shifted to the modern longer tighter style sleeves with gel inside to help limit "slip sliding away".

Needed a new one as my old foam type are over stretching. This seems to hold well to tge joint.

Did it's job, wore soft brace when exercising couple times a week for an hour. It's coming unfrayed around the knee slot now. Wish the stitching was better. Overall did it's job.

Ginocchiere della giusta taglia, senza cucitureNon disturba il movimento, rimanendo in posizione.per il momento il giudizio e' positivo.Consigliata

Soll laut Beschreibung nicht lange getragen werden...wozu brauche ich das den sonst..Ist aus Neopren, kaum Atmungsaktiv, man schwitzt darunter und es wird schnell unangenehm, würde ich nicht mehr kaufen.

Gives my knee extra support great product

Acheté pour ma maman opéré du genou et ayant des difficultés à marcher. Elke a vraiment apprécié le cadeau.

Materiales de muy buena calidad. Precio razonable. Gran ayuda a mi molestia en la rodilla. La talla es reducida. Tuve que cambiar de L a XL. Llegó antes de lo previsto.
